Ha! So since I do this every day on the blog, you know how I feel about bragging: I love it! I especially love it when someone says, "I love your dress--did you get it at Banana?" (someone asked me this once). I smile and say, "No, actually, I got it at Goodwill." Their expressions are varied after that answer, but usually they're impressed.
My mom taught me how to brag correctly--never offer an explanation about where you bought your clothes until someone says they love it. She did this when she made dinner, too. Us kids--"Mom, this is so good!" My mom--"Glad you like it! I used this morning's left-over oatmeal in it." She knew we couldn't blanche if we'd already complimented it. Good times.
