They are correct.lyburnum said:I was really surprised this past weekend going for the Fedora Lounge meet in London. All I got was compliments from strangers! It was lovely. It was all men as far as I can remember, but they all said I looked very beautiful. Awww!
I don't agree with my uncle's political beliefs (and neither does my mother or his sister) but we at least respect his opinions and decisions. They should learn that such a mindset goes well for other things.lyburnum said:My family are a little less kind... my sister recently said I looked like something out of the Sound of Music (and this wasn't meant in a positive way), she's also said I look like a cleaner when wearing dungarees, my mother says the way I dress does no favours for my figure and also that the way I dress has no class and she wishes I were a bit more like the 'modern classy girls', but most of the time they just give me weird looks and shake their heads.
What I was thinking about were the women in skirt/wide leg suits and knit tops that you see everywhere. You might have jumped the gun in assuming she meant midriff-baring tops and jeans. [huh] In any case, don't be afraid to defend yourself. Heck, bring up something she wears that bothers you. If she gets offended, you can just shoot back that it's exactly how you feel whenever she poo-poos what you like.
That is exactly the case, actually. In the "Dumbest Comments" thread, metropd talks about how a guy asked him an insulting question, which he then replied to in earnest. They then struck up a conversation, bought each other drinks, and the guy revealed he wished he had the courage to do exactly what he wanted...jtcarrey said:I think alot of people's rude comments are made out of jealousy, I say we all do what we like and forget what people think!! (especially my mother ha)
