I decides to make a trip to a boutique.The name of the place is Secret Boutique. Now I know the place sell mostly towards exotic dancers and body compaction but I hear they are well open towards crossdressers. I almost chickened out in the morning for a second time but I got myself up and went over. when I arrived there was a lady at the front. She welcomed me and ask if I was there for someone special or for myself. I told her it was for me and she quickly pointed out the areas. She first showed gaffs and one was with a prosthetic vagina. But she was more enthusiastic to sell me the plane gaff.
I have bought cloths before but after getting rid of them I decide to treat this day as it was my first time. So she showed me around. Mostly items for crossdressers. Gaffs, butt padding, bras, and wait trainers. She than showed me some high heels. If you saw what they had for sell you will see that most of the heels were for dancers. The one she wanted me to try on was a black, what I think is 4 inch heel, stilettos. She assumed my shoe size would have been 15 but when I told her 9 1/2 she moved down to 13. She helped me try them on and was excited they fit but she notice they were a little loss in the back so she gave me a 12 and those fit perfect. While I was putting my shoes back on I asked about the bra and again she picked out a size that fit me perfect. She suggested to add padding if I wanted but also my chest already seemed big enough I may not needed any. So I check the place out again. And at first I wasn't going to buy anything but I guess she won me over with the gaff. She was real welcoming and friendly so I may buy a few more items next time. Before I left I did ask about some makeup tips and she said that they didn't sell anything but they do have gatherings so I may also keep up with that.
Afterwards I went downtown and stopped by a Macy's. I was going to look around but I felt a little embarrassed so I left to a Payless. Now I know during the summer downtown was packed with tourist but with kids back in school the streets were not too busy. When I enter a man also came in after me. I went to the back corner wall where my men size shoes are and right across are women's. I picked up a foot scale just to see what my women's size will be. I was surprise when the lady guided the man to some socks nearby. She straddled me. She ask if I needed help and I acted as if I knew what I was doing. It wasn't until she left that I notice the scales were only for women. So she may have wondered what's going on. Once I got my size I quickly tried some shoes hoping the man wasn't going to come my way. But once he left a few women walked in. One was looking at the some shoes down the aisle from me. I had some shoes with me so I decide to walk up to her and put them away. She didn't seemed surprised. Another lady came by and was looking at some socks. I was still looking at some shoes so I debated if I wanted to pick another pair out near her but I didn't. There were two other women there. As I was trying shoes out I was hoping one of them was going to see me or at least have the cashier check on me but nobody came by as I looked around. I was able to find a good size for me and tried out flats, jogging shoes, some heels, and knee high boots for the first time.
I say that day was a big step forward. I hope that in the future I will have a little more courage and try some women cloths out. Also be a little more open to checking store out that are more tailored for women.
