A very strange WWYD....

[florida-again]

Someone very kindly bought me a day with a personal stylist for my bday in a stylish london store.

It's an amazing present, and I can't wait, but I have a strange concern...

I look a lot younger than I am. And I mean a lot, I'm 21 but look easily about 11 or 12, no older.

I am dreading, if the stylist doesn't ask my age, being patronised and put in kids clothes. It happens so often if I ask for a shop assistant's help with clothes or make-up.

It sounds a strange concern but I have put up with this FOREVER. I'd be so sad if it ruined my day. I'm not yet old enough to quite appreciate the merits of looking young and sometimes get very tired and embarrassed of it.

At the same time I wouldn't want to look silly and walk straight in and say 'hi, I'm 21!'

WWYD?

I think you could easily say to the stylist "Wow, it was so nice of X to get me this for my 21st bday, so much more fun than a box of chocs"

That wasy you are telling her without making a big deal out of it. You could also talk about how you are almost done in school and are looking for a more professionsl look. Have a great time!
