My Aunt Janis taught me at a very young age, "When someone gives you a compliment, just say THANK YOU". Don't argue, disagree, or make a fuss. Simply, thank you. Isn't it awkward when you tell someone they look nice and they combatfuly disagree with you? Then you both stare at each other like....welp.
I'm usually pretty good about this...but I was pretty flustered yesterday and totally fell into the trap. A woman told me she liked my outfit "with the high socks". I, without thinking, blurted out "REALLY?! I think I look like a peasant!". Nice one, Vanessa. We awkwardly walked away from each other....but come on, this outfit is totally peasant-esque. That's what I was going for though...
