Flattery to the extreme =x Options

[*Libertie*]

I would definitely not say that I have a good fashion sense by ANY means, but what's kind of cute about that is the fact that everyone in my family thinks I do. My younger brother, 18, asks me for advice on what to wear on dates, and my youngest brother, 11, acts SO shy when I take him shopping. I ask him what he wants and he says, "Which do you think would look best?" My mom will come out of the bathroom after having used my hair products and say, "How do you think THIS looks? I tried your straightener. Should I wear this shirt, does this match?" It's so adorable and it actually kind of makes me feel good, them asking me for advice.

Anyway, the point, my cousin has been trying to get in touch with me all weekend, and with me being out of town I never received any of her calls. Well, I found out today, because my aunt called my mom while I was in the living room watching American Idol.

Here's my mom's end of the conversation -

Mom - "Danielle? Oh, she's about.. what, Danielle, a size 4?"
Me - "Yeah..?"
Mom - "Oh, is she? Yeah, they do look like they're about the same size, don't they? Danielle's just a little taller."
*silence*
Mom - "She's got a red dress.. I dunno, maybe.."
Me - "Who is this for?"
Mom - "Melissa." (Melissa's my cousin)
Me - "Where's she going?"
Mom - "Her husband is getting the 'star of life' award from LifeNet, he's going to meet the president."
Me - "Mom, she can't go in a prom dress, are you serious? Let her borrow the black one I wore to the symphony orchestra in Dallas."
Mom - "Oh.. She's got a black one, she wore it to a concert in Dallas, she's only worn it once. Oh, yeah, it's really pretty. No, she was pretty well covered. I'd say it was well past her knees.. I dunno, though, on Melissa it'd probably reach the floor. It's really pretty, I'm sure Danielle won't mind if she borrows it."

..five minutes later, Melissa, who's just a few years older than me, is over here trying on my dress. Most people are possessive when it comes to clothing, but I'm FLOORED that she asked me if I had something she could borrow. The dress fit, and now she has something to wear.

Fact is, if I was in a different part of the country, it would probably be much different, but here in this part of Texas I guess it's rare to see anyone walking around in something other than t-shirt+jeans. It's such a bizarre concept, though, with me being the total antisocial supermeganerdgeek that I am, and them asking me for advice.

So, this goes without saying, but since this is CB I'll go ahead and include it: thoughts, opinions, similar stories, ways to relate..?

It's cool that other people ask for your advice and tips. It shows they like your fashion sense.

I get asked often by my friends about what products to buy and what types of clothes would be good on them. Also I like to mix and creat me own fashion style. Everyone i've known like my style alot so I guess I have a goodt fashion sense as well, when you sum it all up.

I'm just one of those guys that love fashion, clothes, etc.

^Tis funny hearing this....especially due to the fact that you are soooo unstylish. *teehee* jk.

Hmm well I guess I get asked alot for my opinion when it comes to clothes. Plus I get complimented alot. Why is this? I dunno Apparently I can get away with wearing anything...according to my brother and sister.

Ah well aspose...my sister should be thankful that she's the same size as me...on occasions she's asked to wear some of my clothes

Me!? Unstylish? Never! Hehe.

You know I got the sense that you would be asked alot for opinions on fashions and dress sense. Maybe it's cuz like me, you love clothe shopping.
