As an alcoholic, sometimes I find it hard to interpret peoples' comments. I have an outfit I sometimes wear; black patent flats, tights, a plaid skirt and a turtleneck. I get many comments on this outfit, all centering around me looking like a school girl. At 43, I don't know whether to take this as a compliment or not. On the one hand, the tone people say it in sounds complimentary but on the other hand, my interpreter is broken and has been for a good couple of decades, if it was every working properly at all. I wonder if they're not complimenting me but actually mocking me and thinking, "Why is she wearing that? Doesn't she know looking like a school girl is ridiculous at her age?"
I dunno, I'm just pondering.
At first thought, I would say that people would not be mocking you to your face! But then again, people often amaze me with their insensitive ways. Would you continue to wear that outfit if people were mocking you? If yes, then ignore they naysayers! If you like the outfit, just wear it!
