Would you be brutally honest to a friend??

    If the friend asked for my opinion I would give it (tell the truth in love), but if it was not asked for I would not give it unless there was a malfunction or something. I think we know what we look like, really if we are honest with ourselves.

    I don't give my opinion unless asked and usually my facial expression gives me away first lol
    If I don't like it ...whatever IT may be...I scrunch up my nose a lil bit, tighten my lips and you get an "ummmm....well...." usually I don't have to say anything more at that point....hahahah Just offer a suggestion for something else ;)

    This is the same thing I do!!!

    I wouldn't say "you look fat". I would say it wasn't a flattering outfit.

    IF they're already wearing it, no.

    IF they're trying it on at home or at the mall, then I might say something, like, "It's not my style."

    I sure hope that my friends are honest with me.

    If asked, yes, I do tell, but I try to be tactful. If someone said, "does this make me look fat" I would say "it is tight in this area" and let them know specifically what I see. If they didn't ask, then I wouldn't say anything, unless they looked REALLY bad and then I might say something along the lines of "what about this other outfit... I like it a lot and would rather see you in it."

    If I'm contemplating what to wear, I would want my BFF to tell me what her opinion is.
