This was such a revelation to me.

With a little effort, you can look feminine and sexy for your man while still being comfortable. Yoga pants, for example, with a cute casual top.

Yes! 🥰

I've been home for three weeks now and I haven't worn one of my cute work dresses or a full face of makeup even once. My husband doesn't expect me to, either, because we're in a freaking pandemic. I shave my legs, keep myself well-groomed, and put on concealer when I have to be on a web-cam for work. Otherwise, I'm in athletic shorts and tank tops every day. My husband cares a lot more about me being pleasant to be around during these stressful times, than he does what I'm wearing.

I think I've seen this comic before. My assumption is that it's not as much saying that we should be wearing work attire at home as we shouldn't be putting no effort in at home when we put a ton in for other people.

I'm a 'full face make up every day' girl and have been since I was a teen. My clothes are a bit more relaxed though with my husband wearing gym shorts every day. :-P

I actually asked my husband once, if he was disappointed that I take off my cute dresses when I get home. He's a very practical guy, has never enjoyed truly high-maintenance women, and told me quite clearly that he thought it would be stupid for me to sit around in dresses and flats at home. If I can make it through this pandemic well-groomed, without gaining weight, I'm happy and so is he.

I second the gaining weight comment!! Keeping yourself groomed and slim is the most important right now.

[–]beaniemyheart1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

That's what I read the comic as as well!

At least in my marriage this is not an issue. My workplace has a dress code. Even though we are currently doing “Corona Casual” the typical expectation is that I wear a suit every day. Honestly, I don’t mind that type of dress code because it makes shopping and outfit planning incredibly easy.

I’m not going to continue to wear a full suit at home while I make dinner and help with chores. I’m also not going to dress down as work because my “best me” is reserved for my husband.

My husband is retired and wears sweatpants or athletic shorts around the house most days. If he’s running errands or working in the yard, then he will throw on jeans. Overall, we’re a pretty causal couple at home.

So, my advice is have sex with your husband every day (bonus points for multiple times) and he won’t give a f*** about what you wear around the house.

I don't think the point is that you should literally wear office wear and a full face of makeup when you're doing dishes, just to reevaluate who you're looking nice for. Do you an hour primping before going to work, or going out with friends, or visiting family while on your days home with your partner just say "Ah now I'm home with my man and I can do nothing" and spend little to no effort on looking cute?

I definitely did when I worked outside of the home, fake lashes, cute bra, cute shoes, hair curled to go to work... Came home and all of that came undone just to put baggy jammies on. I saw this a long time ago and it really made me think "Wait who am I even trying to impress here?" Of course I still wore makeup to work- although I started being a bit more modest with that type of thing, stopped with the fake nails, etc. Now that I'm in school and home all day, I still make an effort to look nice. Not heels and red lipstick nice everyday, but even if I haven't "had to" put on a bra and makeup in like a year, I still do..

Plus if you are a SAHM/SAHW, WFH, or just quarantined temporarily, it makes you feel good to look good. Idk about anyone else but I don't feel like having sex, doing dishes, or doing anything if I'm just wearing yesterday's sweats with unwashed hair. I'm pregnant too so holding onto a little bit of my humanity right now is extra important to me lol

[–]Casey_yogagirl13 points14 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Agree! My husband prefers me in form fitting athletic wear any time, any day, over a dress and heels at home. He obviously appreciates the effort I put into my appearance if we’re attending a wedding or gala. The frequent sex helps, too.

[–]beaniemyheart11 points12 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I think the point of the comic is to say that we should dress up for the husband sometimes! Not a dress and full make up all day every day (no one does that realistically?)... could be just something simple he likes. Yoga pants, if he's into it. House dress. Etc.

[–]Casey_yogagirl5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Totally agree! He prefers the yoga pants (I am a fitness instructor part time), ponytail, and no-makeup look and always has. A little mascara and lipstick do go along way, no matter what you’re wearing! It’s that little something extra.

[–]missylizzy6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Even when I wear pajamas I make sure I look cute for him. I wear a lot of things with cleavage at home, and he seems to like that : )

That's great if it works out for you!

[–]BeeRoyalty11 points12 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

Maybe the contrast between the images is too much. I’m not into looks max at home, but I think the reminder to groom and not wear the same clothes for three days in a row is good. 🥰

Edit - also the sweet smile in the first image is nice. She’s a cutie.

Edit 2- why the difference in breast size? Are full breasts frumpy? Nope. The more I look at this the more I 🙄

Haha I didn't even notice the difference in the breasts.

[–]BeeRoyalty2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree, and I love that message 🥰

[–]AnnaAerials1 Star2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Also I think our around the house clothes really do matter. I’m making an effort to slowly gather up cuter casual dresses or pjs that aren’t stained, worn down or extremely oversized. You can have the best of both worlds!

[–]Casey_yogagirl5 points6 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

I’m thinking no bra vs. a supportive or even a push up bra...can mimick a different shape/appearance.

[–]BeeRoyalty2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes, I think you’re correct but the drawing is extreme in the shape change. It just doesn’t seem as friendly to me as it did first glance.

[–]beaniemyheart1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

That's probably what the artist is illustrating

[–]ragnarockette5 Stars0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I've been doing my hair and makeup most days, but honestly it is more for me than for him. I just feel better and it is good to have some consistency right now.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
