If you hadn't seen your husband in 8 months....

[misshark122]

What would you wear?

My DH is coming home soon and I really want to wear a cute dress. I was planning on the anthro column dress in navy (with gold wedges) but in the event that it is a really warm day, I don't know if that will work - is it not summery enough?

Have you guys seen any really cute, summery dresses lately?

[hz80408]

What does he like you in? I know my H prefers heels over flats, etc...gear it towards him, if you know.

PS- That is SOO exciting!! I'm so happy for you! I think your outfit sounds cute!

[bimbi284]

My DH likes me in anything tight, lol! If there's anything (dress/skirt) that he's ever bought for you or helped you pick out, that may be an indication too. My DH always comments when I wear something he got for me. For some reason, DH really likes all of the jersey dresses I have, cuz he likes the way they feel "comfy" (and then he tends to touch me more often, haha)

I think the anthro dress and wedges is a perfect option...show off those curves he's surely been missing!!

[FormerCityGirl]

Do you have the one with sleeves? I could see that being hot. I'd go for a dress of some sort and a wedge. Think about what he likes to see you in and go from there, but make sure you are comfortable in what you wear or it could take away from some of your hotness. My DH is always happier when I'm in a dress or skinnies and some kind of a sexy top.

I know this would work with mine as well.

[misshark122]

Hahaha! Of course, but, nothing won't exactly work on the marine base when he's getting off the bus. lol!

Let me know if you guys see any fun summer dresses. I feel like I have looked everywhere! And formercitygirl - yes, it's the 3/4 sleeve one. It might be okay, we are in San diego so it's not in the 80s or anything.

[joanis018]

Yay for your H coming home!!! I'll keep my eye out and page you if I see anything

[adlove]

8 months!! You must be so excited to have him back

Not sure what your budget is like, but I've been wanting a Rachel Pally cutout maxi dress for a while, and this seems like the perfect occasion for it! It's pricey though, and from reading reviews it looks like hemming is absolutely necessary so time might be a factor as well.

One thing I will say is that I'd invest in some seriously hot undergarments

Here's he Rachel Pally dress I'm talking about, I've seen it at shopbop and several other places.

I would wear........ ummm Nothing!

[summerkutie]

I'm so happy for you that your H is coming home! Yay! I was on the VS website last night and there are some really cute spring/summer dresses on there.

I'd be wearing a dress that shows some cleavage.

I really like this and think you could pull it off really well. I love Rachel Pally's jersey fabric so much. It holds color and shape like no other. I have a couple of her tunics and a dress that I love. They are really soft and comfortable.

I think the top of this one is perfect for the occasion, and if you aren't tall, maybe it wouldn't be so damn short on you

I seriously think the most important thing is showing cleavage. Wear a push up bra. My DH wouldn't even notice anything else about the dress.

[Deleted]

Oooo, ditto Victoria's Secret! They have some great cleavage showing dresses

[valsgirl]

This post makes me excited! My hubby is leaving next week for 6 months and the thought of his homecoming is just makes me happy. I vote for heels and showing some leg!

[misshark122]

Thank you for everyone who took the time to respond & even make suggestions! Godawgs I need to check that out at home, Macy's doesn't load well on my work computer.

What about this dress?

piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=81002&vid=1&pid=269812&scid=269812002

I think I even bought those shoes this weekend....

Mav that dress is really cute! I don't think it will make it in time - also why the rachel pally dress won't work!

[misshark122]

I definitely procrastinated. I think it seemed so far off I never even thought about it and now it's close!

[misshark122]

AH the piperlime dress looks cute on the piperlime site, but on the bb dakota site and on shopbop it doesn't look as flattering.

[bloomies22]

This is so exciting!!!!!
My husband loves boobs - so I'd wear something with cleavage. He also really likes light white cotton blouses (think Joie) so I'd definitely try to appeal to the clothes or styles he actually comments on (he rarely makes F&B comments so when he does I know he must really like something)
