As people who have seen posts from me on here already know, I've made a real effort this year to be as open and confident with my dressing as I can, including wearing skirts even in male mode and trying on clothes in stores and have asked SA's what they think of how a skirt would go with a particular top, and once a couple weeks even asked after stepping out of a dressing room carrying two skirts, which one the girl thought worked better with the coat I had on.
But today I had maybe my boldest shopping experience yet. I had to go to Cleveland for some training at a different store location for my new job, and I was driving back down to Columbus and stopped off at an outlet mall, mostly to kill time so I wouldn't hit rush hour when I came home. I went into the Gap, but didn't see anything I wanted, so went out to walk around a bit more.
so I walk down and come across the Vanity Fair women's store and I was just thinking the other day how I should get some new pairs of panties, So I walk in, the place is pretty dead, there's just like two girls working and one of them leaves. The other one is just lounging around a bit, and I'm looking at a rack of some plain satin ones cause I'm not looking for anything too flashy, just stuff I can wear under my clothes on normal days, and I realize, hey I'm not really sure what size I am not because of my weight loss, I haven't bought any panties since then. I used to go between a L and XL at VS depending on the cut, but even when I was heavier the XLs were usually too big.
So I finally just say to the salesgirl "hey, do you have like a chart or guide to determine panty size if someone isn't sure?" cause they were all sized as like, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. and I've never really gotten how that corresponds to womens clothing sizes So she comes over and she's like "what's the pant size, do you know?" and I said "like 10-12, leaning towards 10"and she said "I think the 2x's might work" and I knew that was waaay too big So I just said that, "I think those would probably be way too big"
9:15 PMand she said "Well, how old is the person they're for?" and I thought about it and realized, hey she doesn't know me and I'll probably never see her again, plus I'm looking to spend my money here, so I just went "Well, they're for me."
And then she just kind of nodded and said "ok, well then this is going to sound creepy, but can you turn around so I can look at you from the back?" So I did that and then she said she thought I'd be a medium or large, which was a 6 or 7, and then she said "But if you want to be sure, the fitting rooms are right over there."
I was shocked. I couldn't believe she so casually just suggested I try them on, because I certainly never would have asked to do that, I sort of always felt like underwear was a no no in that regard, but since she was so comfortable with offering it up, I took advantage of it. I was glad I'd worn panties today instead of boxers because I could get a better idea of how they'd fit over them, and I ended up buying four pairs, which is more than I'd planned on but three of them together were $10.50 and the fourth I just liked the material and color, but also I was just so happy with the treatment I was given that I wanted to spend some money there.
