Emily Caswell is the Brand Manager for VIEW Group, the branding division of View Newspaper Group. Midwesterners have a reputation for being unable to accept a compliment. As a proud Michigander, I find this to be true both as someone who gives and receives compliments. Just this week at a chamber board meeting a fellow board member said my outfit was cute. I replied by giving her a play by play of the great price point I had purchased each piece at.
