My wife's older sister was over yesterday and heaving coffee in the kitchen and discussing what they were going to wear for the New Years Party. I wrote before that women just don't dress like they used to and they were both talking about wearing black pants and a top. I was shaking my head and my sister in law asked me why I was shacking my head. I told them because we are going to a New Years Gala at a beautiful place and the more extravagant you look the more you fit in, this is a women's chance to go all out but they prefer to dress like men. I told them I have an exciting choice, black, blue or grey suit that's my excitement, but a women has such a wide variety. My sister in law now asked me something nobody has ever asked me "if you were a woman what would you wear? My wife chocked on her coffee and I have to be careful what I say because I'm looking at two different body stereotypes. My sister in law is tall and for a women who doesn't work out she has a smooth body but goes out of her way to hide it and my wife after having children and a serious car accident has gained some weight but always looks amazing.
I told them if I was my wife I would wear a black sequence three quarter length dress with the style off one shoulder and a natural colour pantyhose and black bling, bling open toe shoe.
I told my sister in law that we have similar body types and if I were her or if was a women I would wear a long silver sparkly dress with a very long split on one side to show those luscious legs of hers. (She then threw a napkin at me with that remark). The dress would also be off one shoulder and a beautiful open toe silver sandle heel and I would probably instead of pantyhose I would wear lacy stay ups to give your husband something to howl at. Most of all for the both of them lots of sparkling cosmetic jewelry, the bigger the better. I told them believe it or not they are going to see lots of women at the gala dressed this way because its fun to be a women and most of all you are able to. My sister in law told me that maybe I should have been a women that I'm so smart in fashion. I have to watch what I say because she is a traditional European and Homophobic, burn the pride flag and stop teaching our children to be gay in school.
Well I thought I wasted my breath but I caught my wife trying on some of my dresses this morning and asking me if I had black pantyhose with control top and I overheard a conversation that my sister in law was trying on dresses and sending pics to my wife. I will let you know how my three choices will go and let you know the outcome of what they wear. Might see my wife in a dress after all. Happy New Years to all.

Maria, you?re walking that fine line of knowing what you?re talking about versus outing yourself. It?s an interesting conversation and it sounds like you might have kept yourself in check. We really don?t need to know what you?re wearing, as it sounds like it will be drab wear. Not much excitement there, right? Of course we will all be curious if you convinced the ladies to step up their game and if they took your suggestions to heart. What fun!

I shudder to think of the many times I missed the opportunity to say tell my wife that she looks great in an outfit.

We always running the risk of knowing too much about fashion. When my wife and I were younger I can remember her high school reunions when all the women dressed uo to impress. The closest thing I seen to those days in high school prom nights.

Maria -- You certainly are bold to have offered your detailed opinions. I hesitate to say anything when my wife comments on a television actress's outfit. And my wife knows about me.

Maria, I never get tired of your refreshing analysis about this funny species called Europeans. Please keep them coming.
About outfits, my wife had a stunning one for Christmas evening and I didn't fail to tell her how good she looked. And OMG my smartphone's camera didn't fail to immortalize the moment.

Well to give you a update my wife ended wearing one of my dresses and not to mention my black girdle panties, black half bra and black control top pantyhose. I can't believe the dress she choose she wasn't about to wear because she doesn't wear a dress again if she thinks someone has seen her in it before and thought she handed it down to me. I had to remind her that dress she bought me when I seen it on a clearance rack and I begged her to buy it for me.
When we got to the venue I guess the women all talked and we're all wearing dresses and my sister in law had a long dress on but didn't take my advice of the split on one side.
During dinner my wife commented on how everyone else were dressed and the sister in law made a comment to thanks to me if they would have wore the black pants and a top they would have been way underdressed. I must admit the other women weren't just wearing dresses but most of them were wearing long beautiful gowns I was so envious of them.
I told them a women doesn't have to wear a dress to look dressy and they would have been fine either way. Well as I was small talking with the women, the brother in laws made some sissy comment something like the men are going to the bar and I could stay with the women. I already had a few glasses of wine in me and I told them that maybe I would prefer to stay with the women and it would probably be more interesting then what they would be talking about. I shut them up pretty fast that I'll remember these comments when they come to my house to fix there cars or when I have to go to there houses to repair their plumbing of electrical problems. They did shut up pretty fast because they know they need me more then I need them and we ended up at the bar.
When we were leaving the sister in law gave me and thanks for being a life saver they really would have felt out of place with what they were about to wear and I told her I'm sure she would have still looked beautiful.
My wife thanked me in the car for lending her the wardrobe and not to mention everything else and she then asked me if I was offended by the comments her brothers and brother in laws said. I told her I'm going to be sixty two this year and I'm beginning to care less and less what people think and I felt good for being able to speak freely and I should start doing it more. She told me to make it a New Years resolution. I would say all in all it was a great start to the year and hope all of you had a great New Years.

That sounds like overall the event was a good time.
Honestly I would rather stay back and talk with the women.
I never really felt like I fit into the men's crowd.
Unless they were talking cars, I really had nothing in common.
I don't care for sports except for NASCAR. No Football, Hockey, Soccer.
Really no sports at all for me. So I really can't join in their conversations.

I would have a hard time with the dressing conversation. There is so much I would want to say.
I would probably end up outing myself in the end.
It is fantastic that you could help your wife out by lending her wardrobe items.

Thanks for the update Maria
