What does a married woman dress like?

MrsDevine, on June 1, 2010 at 9:54 PM Posted in Planning 0 57

I just got a comment recently that kinda annoyed me. "You know, if your getting married soon, you gotta start dressing like a married woman! No more ripped jeans and skateboard shoes!" Ummm... so what, do I dress like an old lady now? I don't get it. lol. The comment was from my sister, who's not involved in the wedding cuz she's jealous and has done nothing but talk crap behind my back... But anyways, I don't wear ripped jeans anymore, but what's wrong with my DC's!!! Did anyone start dressing more 'grown up' after the wedding? Or do you plan to? Also, I heard something about the wife chop. About how lots of women chop off their hair short after the wedding. Or the mommy chop where they chop it off as soon as they have a baby. lol. Why do people assume a big event means you need to change something about yourself?

    I always been a fashionable gal since I was a kid and my mom is still a very fashionable woman at age 45. She believes that most wives let themselves go and forget about themselves. Every wife is different.

    I plan to stay the same! it's been working for me so good so far, he's happy with it, when ppl think things should be a certain way because of a certain title are lost in the sauce.

    I do think certain things, like "freak em" dresses should be worn with hubby only, etc, but im not changing my whole dress style up just because of a ring.

    Um, I feel like married women should dress more "conservatively" - ya know, just cover it up! Doesn't mean you can't keep your own style, but I feel that if you can't get it on the buffet, take it off the menu! That's the only difference I'll do (but I adopted that attitude before we were even engaged).

    At LoveDevine you absolutely do not need to change the way you dress. As long as your clothes are age-appropriate (which is very subjective) that's all that matters. You are young. Enjoy your youth! You do not need to start dressing like a 55 year old woman just b/c you're getting murriaged.

    Do not change who you are. Just because you get married does not mean you need to change. There will be a time when you will start to change certain things. I did cut my hair (That was 5 years later). we adopted but I got two kids in the time frame of 3 months a 13 months old and a 14 day old and had no time. As for the clothes, that does not have to change. Be yourself.

    You don't have to change how you look just cause you're married. Obviously there's something your FH likes about it and that's all that matters. I haven't changed how I dress. It worked for me before with DH so it probably won't change now. There is no need to dress like a grandma just cause you get married.

    Just remember that marriage is like dating that it is good to look like when you first started dating your FH. I heard that from Dr. Laura.

    Well, for me, becoming a married woman meant, I was going to stay the same. ;-) Seriously, I didn't change a thing...until I lost weight and went from a size 14 to a size 8. Then, I was still me, just thinner. LOL!

    Seriously, do NOT fall into the trap of "you are this, you must dress like that." Or, "You are now "x" years old, you can't do that." That's just bunk.

    Age is chronological, but is also in the mind. You are as old or young as you decide you are.

    Chalk this comment up to your sister being jealous.

    "You are young. Enjoy your youth! You do not need to start dressing like a 55 year old woman just b/c you're getting murriaged. "

    While I am not 55, but closing in on that age faster than most here. I have to say, once I am, I do not plan to dress like an "old" person. LOL!

    Heck, I am trying to tone down so that I do not steal the limelight from the bride (my daughter) LOL!!!

    I think that people should dress appropriately for their body and age, no matter what phase in life they happen to be in. As for dressing differently because you're married, I think if your man loves you now, why would he want you to change? We all go through times in our lives that we do change things up a bit. Like, easier to manage hair styles while we have busy little ones that we're chasing after. I think as long as you feel beautiful in what you're wearing, and what you're doing with yourself style wise, go for it!

    I didnt change my fashion style at all. Now that im pregnant I try t dress like a hot mama when I can rather than baggy t shirt and sweatpants everyday (no offence to people who dress that way but its not me) I did chop my hair off after the wedding but that was only because id been planning it for a while because my ends were completely dry and split. Im now growing it back out nice and healthy and am hoping to grow it as long as I can before bub arrives and I wont be cutting it after he gets here either I want my long hair back.

    I think the MOST important thing you can do for yourself and your marriage is stay true to yourself! You do NOt have to change or start dressing different just because you're married, become a mom, etc etc etc. Dress how you feel comfortable and most like yourself. I think a lot of guys complain that their wives "change" after they get married, and that's the last thing they want! Also the same thing after they become moms. There is nothing wrong with being a cute hip mom and wife! Smiley smile

    This is funny because someone just told me last week that I look and dress like a single woman. He said because I looked put together, neat and stylish (his words not mine, I swear, I'm horrible at complimenting myself). Apparently the person I was speaking to also believed that non-single women let themselves go...
