She freaking loved my bag. My cheap falling appart ahf bag. She was so busy running for the tube station and I yelled back thank you, I finished chemo yesterday (for now) so this really cheered me up.

good luck with the chemo OP, and glad you found an ally!

Hottubby · 04/04/2023 18:29

Love this! I used to feel embarrassed telling people when they look fabulous but now I do it all the time!

That's lovely - Spring is definitely in the air today and we're all a bit more cheerful.Congratulations on finishing your chemo as well 🎉

ahf?

I've always stopped women to tell them when I admire their clothes, hair or accessories. I didn't realise how much until I saw my then 5 uear old DD politely stop her headmistress in the playground to say she loved her scarf, and then the reception teacher to admire her shoes!
The example we set!

Glad it gave you some cheer when you needed it, OP.

I'm still glowing from the compliment I got for my hair in a lift at work in December.

Adult human female, I guess.

That's great OP! Congratulations on finishing chemo, and food good luck.

Ahhhhh - ooh, I wants one!

EachandEveryone · 04/04/2023 22:51

I know I have along way to go well, I imagine I do but this was just lovely today. And yes the sun shining in central London for the first time in yonks and me just been there in the thick of it made me happy. I thought she was going to say she loved my turban. She was a proper city worker banker type so I guess shes seen it all on the way up. I want a new one. I would never take it to work as we are one of the more extreme Trusts who take things very seriously however I do take it to chemo every week in the same trust. I ferl if Im not working its allowed😃

Lovely to hear, OP! Hope your recovery is smooth.

howdoesatoastermaketoast · 05/04/2023 14:42

good luck with the chemo OP it can be really nice to get a compliment

SnappyDragony · 07/04/2023 20:29

It's the small compliments that mean the most.
Best of luck with your check 😁

Goodread1 · 07/04/2023 20:33

Ah that's lovely Op@EachandEveryone

I hope you get better and better health wise

Glad to hear it made your day after having such extremely rough time

Almahart · 07/04/2023 20:34

I love this.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 07/04/2023 20:35

I always make a point to tell women when I love their bag/dress/entire look. At worst they'll feel a bit embarrassed, but generally I get the impression they're delighted with the compliment.

Eventysaurus · 07/04/2023 20:36

Quite often I'd love to tell people I love their bags / shoes or hair.

I always refrain from saying it though. Should I? I just don't want to be awkward / cringe or annoying.

Would love to cheer people up with my honest compliments!! 😊

😍 I'm going to tell them next time!

Best of luck with the rest of your treatments, so happy that lady complimented your bag and it made your day, wish we could post something each day to brighten your day, lots of warm hugs and kind wishes, some prayers too.💖

pointythings · 08/04/2023 11:20

I'm so glad that woman brightened your day. It can mean such a lot - I went to a gig in London not long ago and coming out of the Tube this older guy going the other way looked at me and said 'Lady, you've got style'. I tend towards colourful and slightly eccentric, and I'm 55 and not slim, so it was nice to be noticed.

Adult DC and I always dish out compliments.

EmpressaurusOfCats · 08/04/2023 11:33

It’s brilliant when that happens isn’t it, OP? I was out in my Troublemaking Witch T-shirt from Wild Womyn Workshop a while ago & a woman stopped me to ask where I got it Grin
