DH bought me some clothes

[DisdressedDolphin]

They are completely different to anything I would have chosen myself. They fit. They even look elegant on the model on the website . But i don't know if I can pull it off. Obviously I said thank you. Now what? What would I wear it with?

[Dozer]

Why "obviously" thank him? If you don't like it or how you look in it just ask him for the receipt and exchange!

[dudsville]

Saying thank you is kind when a person recieves a gift so I understand that. I can't open your link but I'll presume this is an expensive purchase. My story is different because I presume the items were cheaper but my oh once gave me a pajama set I hated. I thanked hI'm and put it in the back of the drawer. An expensive item I would want to return as I wouldn't want the money to go to waste.

Link doesn't work. DH used to buy me clothes without checking first. Lovely thought and I did thank him, but there is no point pretending to like it if you don't. If nothing else, he'll continue buying things that don't work.

[Dozer]

You can thank someone for the thought but politely explain it's not quite right for you. No point and a waste of money keeping something you never wear, having to buy stuff to match, or wearing something you're not happy in for someone else.

[DisdressedDolphin]

sorry, didn't check the link. Can't seem to make it work, so have tried to attach a photo.

[DisdressedDolphin]

I've never worn anything like it because I've never found a skirt that sits at the right length on me, this one is long enough. And he bought me shoes to wear with it But I don't know what to teem it with on the top half. I politely declined his choice of top and suggested he return it!

[msrisotto]

Any white top? Strappy, t-shirt etc. I like it.

[DisdressedDolphin]

So the top should be fitted rather than floaty (like the skirt is)? It's not quite white, more off-white.

[Tate15]

White vest top or fitted white t shirt.

[LockedOutOfMN]

If they fit and look good, wear them! Life's too short not to be confident. Wear them out somewhere with him.

[Scarydinosaurs]

White top tucked in? I like it.

[HappinessLivesHere]

I love that skirt, it's beautiful! Agree with a fitted white vest or T-shirt.

[DisdressedDolphin]

Ok, which is best?

[macnab]

I think the white (obviously with a nude cami underneath) and then you need to do that tucked in a bit but not fully tucked in thing that I can never master everyone seems to be doing.

Lovely skirt.

[Mrs9C]

Yes, the white one, tucked in

[nilbyname]

Tucked in all the way, then raise your arms up over your head. Should stay tucked in but give just enough bag/gape to look good

[DisdressedDolphin]

Right. I shall give it a shot! Now, keep the black ones or return? Does the first black one seem an acceptable 'out to lunch with the IL's' outfit or does it not go at all?

[HappinessLivesHere]

I think the first one is s complete mis-match to be honest. Sorry!

[Gaspard]

I think the black tops are lovely but a bit too long. You look great, by the way.

[3boys3dogshelp]

I like the third pic. I don't like the first one at all sorry. You have a lovely DH!

[MissWimpyDimple]

I like the neckline of the third top. Really nice.

[mogloveseggs]

Third one. Looks really lovely.

[BretonTop]

Lovely skirt! Agree don't like the first top (black t-shirt) but the others look good. Love the shape of the third one; could you get that in white? Envious of your figure BTW!

[bombayflambe]

first black one too covering, white one too baggy over your middle (even tucked in I suspect) third one great shape but better in white.

[yomellamoHelly]

Second one tucked in and pulled out a little. Would look for a grey one too to see what that looked like
