Not to go too much into details but I haven't played the seduction game in a loooong time and the last time that I bought nice lingerie was pre-baby (when I was very, very skinny), so I started to prepare for our romantic night out a while ago. I didn't want to go all the way laces and suspenders because that's not the kind of attire that my husband would find "sexy", but I did want something a little bit special, that I normally wouldn't wear at home.
So I settled for this:
I bought this silk slip at Calypso for a song (by the way they are having 50% off sales!) The shoes are the JCrew Tilly platforms, that I also bought on supersale two days before Xmas ($69 and no fs). I had planned to wear them to the restaurant but satin doesn't like snow so I am going to take them with me and wear them inside. Let's say that they will be my luxury slippers, a function that goes very well with their "boudoir" look (not to mention that I couldn't probably walk in them for more than a block)!
Here they are on my feet:
As a backup to the silk slip (in case my husband really doesn't like it), I have a secret weapon. It's a Petit Bateau simple beige cotton slip that I am sure he will like (it appears to be sold-out on the website).
Now I only have to think of the beauty routine countdown. Manicure/Pedicure? Check. Wax? Check. Body scrub? Check. I am going to bring my favorite parfume and shower gel (Narciso Rodriguez) and possibly parfume my hair too.
The only doubt that I have is: to drink or not to drink? Of course I would like to have a bottle with my husband to celebrate but the secondary effect of wine on me is ... sleep. Maybe I can have a glass or two of champagne.
What's your seduction weapon? Do you have a beauty secret for special occasions? Please share!
