A New Trend?

So, I'm walking down the street the other day and this guy stops me and says, "Honey, you better work that outfit." I think he meant that he liked my shoes. Anyway, I turn, hoping to be able to return the compliment, but soon realize that I can't. Something about me won't let me compliment an outfit consisting of black snowpants, a navy blue blazer (with the collar turned up), and a large seemingly stained-glass earring.
