So, when you're shopping with friends, do you give an honest opinion when they ask you what you think about it? Or do you just say "Oh, that's lovely." and move on with pawing through the bolts?

Like I said, I tell them how I feel if they ask. Most don't anymore. My dd is just like me. I held up an outfit one day and asked if she liked it. She said, "For who?" When I answered, "For me.", she said, "It's just my opinion but that really doesn't look good with gray hair and wrinkles." Talk about honesty!!!

After all these years, if they ask for my opinion, my friends know they did ask and here comes the answer. I think I'm more tackful in my older years. I don't sugar coat but I do try to be a nicer honest about it. :wink:
