Tell me about it! I never feel less feminine than when she asks me which pair of shoes I like better.So long as there are chairs and sufficient lighting for my book I, too, can be dragged along. Just don't expect any relevant comments on the purchases.

Matching I can do. But when she asks me to choose between a cute little pair of flats and a pair of perfect pumps, I know the correct answer is; "I'll buy them both for you, sweetie-pie!"

Not.
... You wear green? Most adventuresome of you!
Okay. You've made it a third of the way. Now can you also look good in an empire waist and poka dots?

Ah-ha! The evil designers win again. You may have conquered their dastardly plan to make you look washed out and unappealing in pastel orange, but you cannot win against the poka dots and empire waist! Bwhahahahahaha!Well, I can do little spots, i have a few tops with little whit spots on red or black backgrounds but i don't think that counts as polka dots.
empire waist? Nooo. I have too much boob for that
Isn't it actually prounounced like ompeer? Whatever. Empire always makes me think of Star Wars anyway. And you're right. Nobody looks good in it. spots.
LOL! I think it's because designers thought they could cash in on the Jane Austen revival that's been going on. What no one seems to realize is that Regency fashions, first, used a special corset to help women look good in them, and second, most women didn't look good in them! If you look at enough images of women wearing that fashion you see the same problems: little puffed sleeves that make most women's arms look fat, breasts too high up to flatter the figure, etc.

(P.S. and if we're going to go regency fashion, I want the guys in tight fitting pants that show everything. Everything....
Looks like VM and Stella have the same taste in fedoras. Matching white bucks?

And that's an empire waist with a floor length skirt which helps. If it didn't work on most women then why should it work on most women now?

Agreed. The men must dress in that fashion as well.

In addition, they must grow the sideburns, and we shall always address them as "Mr. Darcy" or whatever their names are except in the bedroom, where we shall moan ecstatically, "Yes, Fitzwilliam (or Rupert or Percival), yes. YES!"
Works for me.
The shoes were too big for me and too small for VM. So, we hocked them and bought more canapés with the cash.

You have to. Oh. My. Gawd.

ETA: I think you'd look splendid in a waistcoat and cravat.
