i love a good non-compliment. like when someone is trying really hard to say something nice to you, but they can't formulate the words and they don't really want to endorse anything. i appreciate the effort.
a few of my faves:
"look at you!"
"only you could pull that off!"
"you are on another level!"
"you are really wearing that!"
"you march to your own drummer!"
"you are really wearing that!"
"you march to your own drummer!"
or when you are looking particularly wacky and someone simply says,
"hello!"
or if you are wearing bright orange pants,
"hello orange pants!"
maybe i dress weird enough that i'm the only one who has people say things like this to them? anybody?
i think i was rather tame today. ladylike even.

Ah yes. The un-compliment compliment. Love those. The one that I always get is: "That is such a Carie (shirt/dress/outfit)." Translation, "I would never wear that."
With your permission, I would like to reserve the right to say "Only you can pull that off," because when I say it, I really do mean it as a compliment. You have to know that not everyone can pull off your looks. You have a certain je ne sais quoi that the rest of us lack.
Haha, yeah! When they come with the matching tone, I usually reply: "Thank you! ... I think" :-D
Ah, but nevermind them. You've got a natural fierceness and they're just envious. Or afraid ^^ Little pussyfooters.
Relatable Style
My favorite non-compliment is when my husband looks at me and says, "You look normal today." Then I feel like I need to go change everything I put on... :)
The fit on that skirt is PERFECTION!! It's so funny, I can go to a dept store and never find the right fit, but I drop in at the thrift store and I can find something that looks like it was tailor made for me! By the way, that was a compliment!! :) ~Serene
that hat is ADORABLE on you. i love it. and the whole outfit looks super chic to me. but, i'm with carie in that if i were to say only you could pull something off i mean that as a true compliment!
(kind of random side-note -- we were playing this "m&m game" yesterday with the kids where they pick an m&m to eat and then whatever color it is corresponds with a card with questions on it and then everyone has to answer it. well, sophie got the question "what do you love about me?" -- great question, right? hahahaha -- we all took our turn to answer that and i had to laugh out loud when grace's response was that she loves sophie's "interesting outfits." hahahahaha. how's that for a non-compliment compliment? hahahaha.)

Guurrrllll...you are working that skirt! LOL. It looks fab on you. And yes, I get those comments too...especially the ones that point out an object of clothing that you have on--> 'hey,black pants'-i hate those, they make me cringe. Though I appreciate the compliment, 'excuse me, miss' will work just fine! haha
