Hi girls, I'm new to this forum, but definitely not new to CD'n. I am 42 and have been dressing off and on since about age 11. I don't know why but lately the desire has grown stronger and I am way more adventurous than ever. I last went out to a meeting out of town and after took the opportunity to get dressed and hit the stores. I first went to a couple thrift stores with absolutely no problems or looks from the other shoppers. That built up my confidence to go to a nearby major mall. I was wearing a one piece dress and heals. Nothing to crazy for a gal my age. Still I felt self-conscious on making my entrance. I strolled nervously through the aisles by the cosmetics. I was greeted by a wonderful sales clerk who made me feel so welcome. She asked me to sit and started trying foundations on me. She asked if I wanted to try eye shadows but by this time my inner chicken came out and I felt it was time to go. So I thanked her and bought some fragrances. I felt so exhilirated and scared at the same time. Am I going too far? I am totally hooked. There is no comparison to this thrill. Dressing alone at home seems so boring now.
