New Shirt

I bought a new shirt recently. I tried it on in the dressing room, liked the fit, it was on sale and I left the store feeling relatively confident in my purchase. I wore to work it for the first time this morning. When my 10-year-old daughter saw it before I left, she said (and I quote), "Oooo ... I've never seen that shirt before. It's dazzling." Dazzling? Now, I know it was probably meant as a compliment, but I'm not exactly sure that she knows what that word — dazzling — means. Or at the very least, she doesn't know what it might mean to someone of her opposite gender. It's definitely not the effect I was going for. Not that I was going for any effect at all really. I left the house now somewhat confused about my purchase.
