The one with the viking cowboy. Are these comments on my appearance terrible or not?

It was probably the grey beard, to be fair.

My husband told me my glasses made me look like Harold Shipman.

he was right

😂😂

I used to have a gorgeous bright pink silk blouse with a huge bow on the front.
Wore it on Christmas Day. Sister said ‘it’s really nice that you’ve come dressed as your favourite quality street’
Looking back it looked a bit ridic but I was 30 at the time and thought I looked FAB if not slightly like the fudge one from quality street.

My hubby is a bit tone deaf like this, but it made me laugh 😆

1. I wore a fawn leather jacket "babe you look like Logan" (Wolverine) 🐺

1. I wore a fluffy brown gillet "babe you look like Kraven the hunter" (Spiderman) 🕷

1. I wore a long wool black coat with fluffy collar "babe you look like you're about to go and kill Aslan" (Jadis white witch in Narnia) 🦁

I honestly just laughed it off, as he loves all of these characters 😆
@Onceuponamama

These are so funny.

Ditto.
sorry.

Don't buy fake fur, its manufacture is environmentally damaging. Also, it looks awful.

🤣🤣🤣

Depends how you feel about looking like a cowboy or a Viking, really (I don't get the hairclip = Viking bit tbh, Vikings wore their hair plaited or in what are now called cornrows, or occasionally in a pony-tail though this is more Mongol e.g .Ghenghis Khan). It could be complementary: statuesque, blonde, ready to fight, strong, beautiful, though your DH doesn't sound as if he means this.
A tapestry fleece sounds a bit Gaucho and jeans with heeled boots is definitely cowboyish. What's wrong with a dress?
Or you could go out and buy a female Viking outfit - that's a homespun long dress with slightly hanging sleeves, with a sleeveless overdress in a slightly darker brown, plus hair wrapped in a headcloth (requires pins), leather belt/girdle to hold dress in at the waist. Then point out that this is how a Viking looks and you are wearing it all out to lunch. NB, this is an attractive look and goes well with boots.
I have in my time worn fringed jackets - no-one said I looked like a cowboy, sadly!

I have a long faux fur coat that I love, I thought I was channeling Jackie O, DS1 walks in “ hello Uncle Fester”, haven’t worn it since😭

DD1 when she saw my new Boden multicoloured checked jacket “ I love Elmer the Elephant!”, the whole family now call it my Elmer coat😂

Tried a faux fur bucket type hat on and sent a picture in the family chat to get opinions, response from DS1 “you look like a Siberian housewife”, I didn't buy it🤣

I once thought I had made a bit of an effort to look nice for a night out in town. I had even but some mascara on! I was wearing one of those white, frilly blouses and as we were sitting on the train, my darling hubby looks at me and says „You look like Meatloaf!“ 😵Not exactly the look or compliment I was going for, but whatever 😂He did get to hear „…(but) I won’t do that!“ on certain occasions for a while after that 😉

Omg what utter nonsense
A compliment ?
This goes in the same bin as " hes nasty to you because he likes you"
The bar is on the floor ...

Love the pussy-bow blouse comment! 🤣

Cowgirl actually makes it a LOT better - that could be quite a cool look! As a big fan of the show Vikings where all the women are both beautiful and badass, I wouldn't mind that either! But so much depends on his intention. If he's deliberately 'negging' you or trying to undermine your confidence that's obviously extremely worrying, but maybe he's just being a clumsy bloke. I'd just say "thanks, that's what I was going for" next time.

Ha ha no bones but I do put plaits through it. A bit like Stiorra’s hair in the last kingdom. Her earlier style of half up half down but then I have plaits going through the rest of varying thickness.
I dressed as a Viking for Halloween once I loved the look. So do a tame version for day to day.

Im sorry but this is hilarious. Viking and cowboys are not known for being bad looking or derogatory remarks. Stop taking yourself so seriously.

You asked his opinion and he gave it. You might have preferred different words but when you described the outfit, it was 'cowboy' that came to my mind. I'm not sure how else he could have said it. Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with looking a bit like a cowboy, and the Viking thing would just have made me laugh.

I think that's different, really. What the OP is talking about indicates less of a balance than good humoured ribbing.

Yep! As I said we have a similar sense of humour. And he actually compliments me way more than I compliment him to be fair.

Do you comment on his style and appearance in a similar manner?

Same here 😆

This reminds me more of a Japanese kimono style than cowboy.

When I’m wearing camo print my DH always asks if I’m going on manoeuvres. If I wear animal print he says I look like his mum 😬

But we have a similar sense of humour and he compliments me all the time, so it doesn’t bother me. Really it depends on if your husband ever does tell you that you look nice, or not.

I think if people think their partner is funny, and they appreciate the banter, that's all good. However, the OP is clearly sensitive about her appearance and is unhappy with the negativity. Something isn't funny if the target doesn't find it funny. It's just hurtful. The OP's partner should really be a bit more aware.

This made me laugh 😂
