Dear Tomas, I also love giving people compliments about what they wear, particularly the colour, but I guess context is key and it has become more of a minefield for men, especially in a professional context. I am happy to take the compliment from you, dear friend, because I know you like what I say as well as what I'm wearing while I say it! It reminds me of this:
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Really eloquently sums up what I’ve been feeling. And what you write about importance of routine really resonates too. Thank you.
A part of me was about to compliment how great those colours look on you, but I refuse to promote external reassurance on others looks or choices. Is this behaviour going too far? Many (men & women) would appreciate such interactions. I don't know the answer.

Always a pleasure to read you Emma.
