Happy Long Weekend guys!!
We have been getting our outside all ready for summer. Got some new patio furniture and will be doing some gardening later this weekend. This weekend really is the kick off for the summer isn't it, love it!
I'm outside with my lap top doing up this blog post and it feels wonderful to be outside in the sun right now.
Earlier this week, I had shared another blog post on my Facebook Page about a women who let her husband pick out her clothes for a week. The blog post was really cute and I became very curious to see what my husband would pick out for me to wear.
So, we tried it. I mean it's only a week right?
I learned a couple things:
A) I have clothes that need to be pitched, not sure why I am keeping them.
B) I have clothes that I tend to wear regularly for comfort
C) My husband is a practical man (I expected him to pick fancy dresses all week)
Would you do it? Would you let your hubby pick your clothes for a whole week?
I gave it a go since it's only a week right? I wanted to see what he would pick.
First up was MONDAY!!! So here's how we did this. He went into the closet always the night before and picked something out. I didn't say anything to him, and I didn't see what he chose until the morning, after my shower when I grabbed my clothes.
So Sunday night, he had free range of my closet. I think he was a tad overwhelmed. He gave it a lot of thought cause he was in there for a while. He knew I had the day off and would be out and about with our son, and he checked out the temperature. Very thoughtful for him to think of all that. So this is what he picked:

| MONDAY |
He picked out casual jeans and a long sleeved black top, perfect for the day I thought, good job hunny! When I asked him why he picked this out he said because he knew I was doing some running around and would be outside too.
So far so good.
Next day -- Tuesday -- back to work. He picked something a tad more "dressy" He went with these red jeggings, a casual T, and a jean jacket (he's seen me put something like this together before so thought it was pretty safe)
This was the day where I learned a couple things - clothing, and comfort.
See, these jeggings I have not worn in awhile because they feel tight. And jeggings are pants that, (you ladies know) you only wear certain weeks of the month.
The t-shirt was DEEP into my closet and I hadn't worn in years probably because I don't really like it as much as others. (hence why I say I need to throw some things out)

| TUESDAY |
When I asked him why he picked this out he said he loves those pants and he thought it all looked good together.
On to Wednesday
 |
| WEDNESDAY |
This was another work day for me.
He chose a black skirt and blouse. Okay so I will be honest here, this was the day I didn't want to continue with this experiment. lol. I was completely thrown off by the fact that he picked out two things I hadn't worn in FOREVER.
These two pieces I wouldn't put together but he liked it. He said I hadn't worn the skirt in awhile and it was going to be a hot day and he picked the top because he hasn't seen me wear that one in awhile either. This is where I realized I need to get rid of clothes that I don't love anymore. I hang on to a lot of clothes that I don't need.
On to THURSDAY
 |
| THURSDAY |
Thursday is a work day so he picked out nice dressy pants and a blouse. I would have put these two together and I felt happy he chose these. (I may have also made a comment the night before about picking things I have worn recently instead of fishing from the back of the closet ) lol

| FRIDAY |
Annnnd Friday!!! Home with my little guy and out to visit friends and do some errands.
Silver jeans and a casual top. I was comfortable in this and it was the perfect outfit for me on a Friday, win for the hubby!
There you have it - a week full of outfits picked by my husband.
So I have learned a couple things about him from this:
He really could care less about what I'm wearing. He is a practical man. He was taking in account what I was doing for the day and what the weather was going to be like. Not what he wanted to dress me in for looks. I was actually shocked that he didn't pick out more dresses or low cut tops. I was surprised that when I really did give him full range of my closet, he chose practical, not things that were flashy and too dressy.
OH and now I also know that there are things I could be donating ! My closet is really full and I could be cleaning out some of that old stuff.
Would you try this experiment with your husband? What do you think he would pick for you?
If you try this, let me know! I would love to hear about your experience!
