So today is officially Compliment Day.

You are officially supposed to… say something nice to friends, family members or a stranger.

It got me thinking, though.

When do you receive the most amount of compliments?  What are you usually wearing?  How is your hair particularly styled?  What makeup do you have on? What color nail polish are you sporting?

Today as you’re getting ready for work or for school or for preschool pick-up, wear something that makes you feel beautiful inside and outside.  Wear something that usually attracts a compliment.  Sometimes we get so rushed and crazed in our daily-days, the days actually become a daze.  Own it today.  Be aware.  Be fully present in the moment of getting yourself ready.

I’m taking my own advice today, too.  I don’t have anything in particular planned.  I don’t have any meetings to be at in the morning or afternoon.  It’s a pretty normal day for me, but I’m still going to kick-it-up-a-knotch.

I can’t think of one particular outfit that I wear that may bring in a compliment or two… but I do know there are certain things that I wear that sometimes bring in a little “something something” on the compliment level.

1. Wearing GREEN – I have green eyes, so (usually) when I wear green, people will compliment my eye color.  The green in my outfit really makes my eyes pop.  So I do try to bring a lot of green items into my closet.

2. Wavy Hair – I usually get compliments because my hair is normally straightened.  I do not have the ability on my own to wave/curl my hair.  I have to recruit my mom and/or my friend Leah.  So… when my hair is wavy, since it’s different… I get compliments.  Truthfully, I love it wavy.

3. Plaid Scarf – This is one of my most favorite scarves that I own. Whenever I wear it, I get some compliments from people asking me where it’s from… it’s truly an item I love wearing in the winter.

So wear something today that you know will bring in a compliment… and OWN it!
