Officially not shy anymore

Yesterday at the grocery store I noticed a woman wearing a very interesting blouse. I looked closer.She noticed and interrupted her cell phone conversation, looking at me as if trying to figure out if she knew me. I said "Oh, I was just looking at the beautiful blouse you're wearing, it's lovely!", and went on with my shopping.

A while later she came up to me and told me how much she appreciated the comment and said she'd made it herself. I said that I'd guessed, and that I do some sewing myself. We chatted for a while and ended up trading phone numbers.

So that's it - I'm officially Not Shy. I never thought I'd get to the point where I can start talking to a total stranger in a shop.

Today a coworker complimented me both on elegance and on courage for wearing this...
