Sad to say but my wife is a little self-conscious, and as a resulthas no idea how to dress. The ironic thing is that she used to work at Saks and dressed up all the time. Now she is in the medical field and wears scrubs all day.
She uses money as an excuse as to why she doesn't purchase clothing, but that really isn't the problem. I gave her $350 in gift cards to a department store, and in 3 trips she has purchased $50 worth of t-shirts. The honest truth is that I think she is self-conscious and as a result is afraid of putting together outfits that will look good on her. She is afraid of how she will be judged is my guess.
I have tried to purchase clothing for her, compliment her etc etc but nothing seems to work. I really think this self-conscious thing is really holding her back from being the confident person she should be.
Anyone else have a similar issue?
