I've said those exact words to her. She always dismisses the idea as too expensive/impractical.
You missed the "hint" yet again...
My wife says this to me all the time about things she wants for herself. She is so used to giving to the kids and others first, that she feels guilty wanting something for herself...
What she secretly WANTS to hear from you is...
"Hey Honey. You work for our money too. You DESERVE to splurge on yourself once in awhile. You don't say anything to me when I waste money golfing or buying golf clubs. I think you should really do it if you want to. Don't worry about the money because it is only money and you deserve to treat yourself sometimes after giving to me and the kids all the time. I think you would look great."
