Sort of makes it hard to be seen to be embracing the compliment. And yes, I have had compliments like that. But it makes me realise our differences can be strengths. Things really look different on different people. I'm sure something else looks especially good on her, I'd focus on that if someone complimented me that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/felt-fab-and-didnt-bother-with-a-pic#post-624997 Mon, 21 May 2012 05:27:58 +0000 christieanne 624997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course she complimented you! It does sort of throw me off to when I get a compliment from a stranger but it's my DH who has actually taught me just to say "thank you, that is nice of you" and enjoy the moment. I'm sure you looked great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/felt-fab-and-didnt-bother-with-a-pic#post-624991 Mon, 21 May 2012 04:41:07 +0000 ManidipaM 624991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you handled that very well, actually!</p> <p>I'd probably have stammered into something like 'what, this paper bag?' and ended up embarrassing or even offending the poor woman!</p> <p>And of course the dress does look divine on you, so your confidence is well placed, I'm sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/felt-fab-and-didnt-bother-with-a-pic#post-624990 Mon, 21 May 2012 04:39:12 +0000 Deborah 624990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you handled it beautifully Mo. Your out fit sounds so great I wish I could have seen it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/felt-fab-and-didnt-bother-with-a-pic#post-624987 Mon, 21 May 2012 04:32:37 +0000 Mo 624987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if that means I was totally confident in how I looked or that I'm being lazy lol! I wore the 'paper bag' dress again, but with Heather's multi buckle belt and my studded black gladiators. Grey burnout tank underneath.<br /> Funny thing, as I ducked into the CVS asking if they had solar eclipse glasses (yes, I thought it was lunar all this time and brought my binoculars into town today -d'oh) the gal behind me in line commented on it. She said, "I have that same dress but it doesn't look half as good on me." What could I say?? I told her my BF thinks it looks like a paper bag on me, to which she said he's crazy. Lol. I did say it is comfortable at any rate, which we both agreed upon. And it plays up both our green eyes.<br /> Ever had an awkward compliment like that? I think I handled it with relative aplomb but I was a bit taken off guard. Anyway, I did like my outfit today! </p>
