What do you do when a longtime friend copies everything you wear and do—without acknowledging the inspiration? Inspired by a reader question I answered for Real Simple, I talk with creative director Candace Ourisman about when imitation feels flattering and when it starts to feel uncomfortable. The conversation ultimately lands on something deeper: why acknowledging your friends’ strengths and offering simple compliments matters more than we think. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
