are you allowed to say that to your customers?

so the other day i was running errands and i stopped by this little fabric store on the upper east side. it was run by this 80 year old eastern european woman. so i walk in and ask her if she has hook and eye closures, she says "yes, over on wall." imagine her accent like the one magda has from sex and the city. so i pick out the ones i want, and she says, "oh, these not for skirt, not for skirt then?" i say no they are for pants. "ok, ok, 2 dollars" then she says something that totally shocks me as i'm rustling through my purse for the 2 dollars. "i do not like your shirt" i am wearing a black empire waisted tank with thick straps, i don't see any problems with the shirt. but i am in shock that this 80 year old woman has just told me she doesn't like my shirt, but it gets worse. "this, " she says while motioning to my chest, "this is too much. this is not for daytime." i go from shock to shock and disbelief. this 80 year old eastern european woman not only doesn't like my shirt, she thinks i'm a floozy. fabulous. i don't know what to say. so i stammer that i'm sorry, hand her the two dollars and leave.
