It's the reaction she hopes for (what any woman hopes for), but does not set herself up to expect from him. She would have been happy with a nice compliment or even just a quick 'very nice." To actually make him speechless, is a surprise and a gift to her self-esteem. After all the jabs he's given her wardrobe over the years, he deserves the fish out of water look he's sporting right now.
She smiles and blushes. Her hair is up in a low bun with a few soft tendrils escaping and her makeup is just a bit darker than usual - an attempt at a smoky eye and a deeper shade of lipstick.
"Nope. Don't think I said anything," she answers, feeling a bit cheeky. "What were you saying?"
Unsurprisingly, Sherlock looks as dashing as ever. She is fond of the purple shirt and makes plans in her head to wear it herself later.
