Except I don't keep a diary, because I had one as a teenager and my mom found it and read it, and I got into HEAPS of trouble for doing some stuff I shouldn't have been doing and being stupid enough to write it down....anyway I was traumatized, LOL. </p> <p>But maybe I should write it on a sticky note and put it on the fridge. Maybe we should all do that when we get compliments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645894 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 16:33:58 +0000 Kate 645894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Fluevogs and red lipstick--that guy knew good looking and subtly sexy when he saw it.

I'm really happy for you and I'd love to see the outfit too And the moral of the story might be that we should all give at least one complement a day, or maybe two a day - one for someone we know and one for a stranger </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645613 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 05:19:06 +0000 Sheila 645613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is a wonderful story.

Sexy isn't about being overtly sexual, IMO, and apparently in the mind of your 30-something either! Good for you, Elizabeth! What an ego booster. :)</p> <p>I'd love to see that outfit too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645472 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:40:45 +0000 Anonymous 645472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Random compliments are great! </p> <p>The sexy part was odd, though.

"Random" compliments are always so nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645429 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:57:09 +0000 Aziraphale 645429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting choice of words, too. He said "lady", not "girl". "Lady" implies age, and a (I hope) a certain amount of respect that goes with it.</p> <p>bj, it's too late anyway, I'm already in my pjs. Plus I don't have a tripod or anything set up to take a pic. One day I might, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645418 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:41:22 +0000 bj1111 645418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hey, you know this thread is worthless without pictures!</p> <p>let's see the sexy lady in the fluevog shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645410 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:30:11 +0000 Vicki 645410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now, I want to see the ENTIRE outfit and those boots are KILLER! Please, please post and include the red lipstick, because I love makeup ideas, too. I think what's wonderful about it is that you weren't dressed provocatively and were dressed stylishly and you were into your life and your world of grocery shopping. That's a wonderful moment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645403 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:24:51 +0000 Aziraphale 645403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I guess the boots are a kind of sexy, in an urban steampunk kind of way....but it's not like they're 4" stilettos or anything. </p> <p>I guess what I meant was that nothing I was wearing was revealing in any way. :-)</p> <p>Jenava -- he might have been gay. Or hitting on me. But more likely gay. How many straight men would compliment a stranger on her shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645397 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:20:47 +0000 Meredith1953 645397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes are SERIOUSLY sexy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645391 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:16:05 +0000 Suz 645391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, let's be real. Those ARE sexy boots!!! Shannon's husband would probably call it the "sexy Fluevog look." </p> <p>LOL and cheering, Elisabeth! This guy knows a beautiful, stylish, and thoughtful woman when he sees one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645390 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:15:38 +0000 Jenava 645390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, he was walking a thin line with the "sexy" comment...(-: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645387 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:14:37 +0000 Victoria 645387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice compliment! This reminds me when a guy actually came up to me recently and told me that he loved my haircut. I was suprised because guys usually don't compliment on that sort of thing but he told me that it showed I had my own individual sense of style. That was the nicest compliment I had in a long time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645383 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:10:58 +0000 Deborah 645383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elisabeth, how lovely! See I think you have "appropriate" dressing nailed! Sounds like this guy knows a stylish woman when he sees one. What a cool compliment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/compliments-from-stranger-made-my-day#post-645378 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:01:48 +0000 Aziraphale 645378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to share this! I was at the grocery store and a guy (30-something, I think) taps me on the shoulder and says, Can I pay you a quick compliment? Then he tells me I'm wearing awesome boots. Pleased, I thank him. We go separate ways. Then I run into the same guy in the coffee aisle. He smiles, then leans over slightly as he passes and says, conspiratorially, "And the lady in the boots is very sexy, too". I think I turned three shades of red, but what a nice compliment. </p> <p>This is the interesting thing: I was not wearing a single revealing over officially sexy item. I was not trying to dress provocatively, although I had in fact just come back from a lunch date with my husband, so I'd made an effort to look nice (and I was wearing fire-engine red lipstick, something I don't usually do in the daytime). But no cleavage, no legs, no bare shoulders even. I thought this was relevant to the recent discussions about dressing your age or looking your age. And also, what people perceive as "sexy".</p> <p>For the record, I was wearing my fitted waistcoat over a lightweight white shirt with subtle pinstripes (it's drizzly and freezing in Vancouver today) with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, and skinny blue jeans tucked into these ankle boots: </p> <p><a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w%5B0%5D=gender%3Awomen&#038;w%5B1%5D=attribute%3ABoot&#038;p=41&#038;pp=3&#038;view=detail&#038;colourID=3160" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w.....ourID=3160</a> </p>
