Confessions of a Compliment Seeker

vintage dress from Cream Vintage, tights from Marshalls,
boots found on Ebay by my sister, Gap jean jacket

I was shopping at HEB wearing this outfit when a lady stopped me to ask me where I got my dress. It probably shouldn't have made me as happy as it did, but I couldn't help it. I'm not sure why, but there is something so pleasing about getting a compliment about my clothing from a stranger. Maybe I like being acknowledged for my sense of style or maybe I just have some self-esteem issues I was unaware of. I liked my outfit all day before this nice lady had ever seen it, but then I loved it after she told me how much she liked it. Instead of trying to figure out why that is, I'm going to use that logic and give myself a compliment everyday. Take that, self-esteem!
