Is it controlling to pick your wife's clothes?

It has been years since my wife has dressed sexy for me, especially since I like seeing her in skimpy clothes. We had a baby right after getting married, and she couldn't dress sexy while she was pregnant for obvious reasons. She didn't do it after she had the baby for obvious reasons. Then we had financial troubles and didn't really buy clothes for ourselves for a while.

Now that things are better and we're starting to have dates again she doesn't really have sexy clothes to wear. What she thinks is sexy is boring to me. She has asked me to buy her clothes to wear...and to tell her what I want her to wear when we go out.

I think that's weird and controlling. I have bought clothes for my woman before but it was something we did together. I feel strange buying my wife's clothes and then telling her when to wear them.

Do you think this is controlling? And/or can someone explain why my wife wants me to take control in this area?

P.S. I should also add that my wife usually buys her clothes off the clearance rack. Where as I'm not a big spender, but I don't look at price tags when I buy something special for my wife. My wife has literally bought lingerie at the 99 cent store.
 
Yes, you are very controlling. How would you feel if she bought you sexy clothes and told you to wear them? You wouldn't like it either. I think your wife is thrifty because she has to be. Maybe you should give her some cash and let her buy some things for herself.
 
Maybe a little. It depends on whether she's okay with it or she wishes you'd let her wear her favorite clothes.
