Getting to be noticeable

Today, my boss said: "You look great today!"

I do not look "great" today.

I'm wearing a plain Old Navy turtleneck and a pair of black pants that are pinned so they don't fall down. My hair is a mess and I put my make up on in the dark. I'm not quite a disaster, but I do not look "great."

What she ACTUALLY said (without saying) is: "You look different and not so fat!"

Which is nice.
