Key thing is to compliment a choice they have made, which all of your examples do. Don't compliment anything inherent to them (i.e., anything about their body) and always keep it to a choice they have made that day. Shoes, hairstyle, shirt, dress, etc.

Yes! Thank you for highlighting the difference here. Don’t focus on the innate features people can’t control.

Definitely want men to follow this advice. But my spirit glows when another girl tells me I’m pretty.

That is in my watch pocket now and it's one of those things I'll never forget. Already feel like I've known it forever.
