Soccer Mom Fetish?

Over time, Snarky has learned to appreciate the value of Name Brand Things - not always (she still just can't get the whole Louis Vuitton thing) but more often than not. When she does purchase things these days, they feel more like investments. (Even if said investments are happening at the Goodwill.)

 

She would rather have the one good pair of Danskos rather than a closet full of Payless ripoffs.

 

It came as a bit of a shock to her a few years ago to discover that the straight legged jeans from Eddie Bauer were the best fit for her body (which she lovingly refers to as "the curvy rectangle": slight dip at the waist in a long torso over short, muscular thighs and calves).

 

Snarky always thought of Eddie Bauer as The Gap for soccer moms. In other words: better than Wal-Mart, but not North Face/Patagonia/whatever the heck posh soccer moms wear.

 

What came as an even bigger shock is that a sweater she purchased from the EB factory outlet last year (deep red boxy cabled cardigan) provoked a rather interesting response from The Mister. He made a point several times to comment that he really liked the sweater, and liked Snarky wearing it. Sometimes the commentary came in tactile form. :joy:

 

Snarky could not pinpoint exactly what it was about this shapeless sweater that was pushing all the right buttons for The Mister, but she is now determined to figure it out. :ack:

Everyone's talking about clothing now, and I do love to talk clothes. :hugs: Maybe Mister likes the color of the sweater on you? Maybe he likes how it makes you look snug and warm and he wants to crawl up under the sweater with you? :D Actually, it sounds like a very classic look, and maybe Mister likes a classic, uncluttered look, something I always associate with J. Crew. I always think of Eddie Bauer as the source for more reasonably-priced classic clothing when you don't want to pay the J. Crew prices, which I find absolutely insane.

My husband likes me best in very sporty, almost schlumpy clothes. I have NO idea why. He just likes that look. He claims it's more "natural."

Snarky suspected it was a color thing too... The Mister, upon being directly questioned, said "I dunno... I guess so... :grope grope grope: There's just... something about this sweater. I really, really like it".

Funny how that works. Snarky enjoys dressin' up on occasion in the outfits that require semi-architectural foundation garments. While The Mister appreciates such efforts, he does tend to gravitate toward the comfy stuff too. Boys are funny.
