Compliment Fail

 
 Shirt: Old Navy  Skirt: Target   Boots: Kohls  


The other night,  while Chris was telling me goodnight he put his hand on my thigh and said something about my muscles.  I of course proceeded to tell him to feel them again while I was flexing.
You know, in the hopes he'd be impressed.  
Well his response was 
"yeah those are really strong, they're like tree trunks".  
I'm sure I don't need to spend time telling you, like I did with Chris, as to why that is indeed not a compliment.


And thank you for all the encouraging comments from my post yesterday.
I was incredibly encouraged by all your sweet words and truly appreciated them!

    Haha! They are SO not tree trunks. Sounds like a slip up my Zach would make. Love that plaid shirt on you!

    haha sounds like a typical boy comment-they are not always gifted with words! there is nothing of a tree-like nature about your darling figure! Boys just don't ever know what to say haha. I love this plaid top!

    That sounds like something my husband would say; trying to be nice and insulting me instead. But you're too cute and definitely not tree trunk like, so no worries! And I really like the flannel shirt combo with skirt. I got a new salmon colored skirt this weekend and was trying to figure out how to wear it--now I know!

    Haha too funny - I have very muscular thighs too - which I find good AND bad. Anyway, love your plaid top - looks so cute with that skirt :)

    Haha sometimes guys don't think before they speak! They should know they should just tell women they're beautiful and leave it at that :)

    Hahaha no he didn't!
    They are NOT tree trunks, girl!

    but I know how you feel - I have thick thighs and one time a guy told me he wished his thighs were shaped like mine.
    Not exactly what a girl wants to hear! haha!

    Happy Wednesday!

    Oh, my husband is always saying the wrong things by accidents. The other day I had to tell him that most women would not think, "Bigs" is a term of endearment. And I think a woman with strong legs is beautiful!:)
