The Simple Things

Relationships

Something happened a few days ago that blew my mind.  As usual, after our son was put to bed, I removed my clothes and got ready to go to bed myself.  After showering, I put on the undergarments I would wear the next day and hopped into bed, anxiously awaiting a conversation or game of Scrabble with my husband.
For the sake of keeping this article PG-13, let’s just say my husband took one look at me and those undergarments didn’t stand a chance.  For some reason, he was enamored by the simplicity of my white bikini briefs ever so slightly blessed with a pink bow and a matching bra.
I don’t understand it!  I have lingerie in my possession that requires a mechanical engineering degree to put on (and a caveman quality prerequisite to take off).  I have donned every corset, peignoir, baby doll, garter belt, camisole, chemise, pair of spike heels, veil, fishnet stockings, bandeau, feather boa, and lace teddy that can be purchased by Vickie’s Secret or Frederick’s of Hollywood. My husband no doubt appreciates his personal runway shows.
Yet for some reason, those two little pink bows, one above my navel and one below drove my husband up the wall.
Which leads me to ask, BMWK:  for the husbands, what simple thing has your wife worn or done that you “appreciated” more than anything?  For the wives, what simple thing have you worn or done that you didn’t necessarily mean to turn your husband on with, but it happened anyway?  Keep your responses PG-13, folks.  All that other stuff belongs on an erotica website.  LOL

God bless!

    I've found that it really is the simple things. Don't even bother buying the expensive outfits with all the bells and whistles. Usually just donning the birthday suit (is that PG-13, enough? LOL) works best. Tara Pringle Jeffersons last blog post..TweetChat tonight!

    Yes! The simple things...though my wife will never understand it, I LOVE seeing her in a tank and some of my sweats. That'll definitely set it off!

    Being the women are talking about what they wear for their man/hubby did we forget that he is a man? I think we care more than he does as long as we don't wear roller, wraps and nothing too unaccessable they don't care. They are always thinking the thoughs they do. Their thinking mind will always want us, but less is always more. LOL. Tara being your comment did not get banned I too have to admit I am a birthday suit gal. Hubby is always over dressed at bedtime. He will always be prepared in case of a fire and I will end up looking for something to put on before I escape. Why should/would I spend money on frilly frilly things only to be removed and are expensive if I don't have to? Letting your hair down, a nice smelling perfume and a scented candle is still romantic and has the same results.

    You need to look carefully at the colours of the lingerie you buy for your partner and again take into consideration the kind of woman she is. If your partner is a brunette then she is quite capable of wearing the much bolder colours such as emerald greens or deep purples, whilst a blonde is able to wear more effectively lingerie that comes in pastel shades.
