As you may remember, my wife has recently learned of my crossdressing and has totally accepted it because she loves me. I'm more than lucky to be married to her.
Last week, we were planning on shopping online to start building a wardrobe, but she thought it would be fun just to do it in person! We shopped at Talbots, Coldwater Creek, and TJ Maxx. In Talbots, we pretended to shop for my sister who is roughly my size and doesn't have time to shop (oh brother!) but whether the very nice SA knew the truth I don't know or care. She was a great help in our shopping.
At home, we had a big fashion show with me trying on item after item in various combinations. My wife has unbelievable good taste and won't hesitate to tell me if an item looks unflattering. Some pieces did and I'll return those in a day or two. But the majority of items are keepers, including two amazing dresses, a skirt, pair of dressy pants, a loose jacket, several really cute tops, a cable pattern turtleneck sweater, and two cap-sleeve tees.
She was really enthusiastic about several of the outfits I modeled, calling me "cute", "sweet", "darling", and "pretty". I said, "Really? Me?" She said I'd better believe it and to just say "thank you". I am so very blessed to have my wife who supports this vital side of myself. She said she actually enjoys shopping for Mandy. Tonight she reminded me that Mandy needs some pumps and mules to go with her new outfits. I'm pinching myself that this has all happened to me.
My wife has given me another unexpected gift: confidence to go into a store by myself and shop! Honestly, I will be doing this very thing later this week. By having my wife with me the first time, I now possess this confidence. I couldn't care less what the SA's think. I do feel that they will treat me professionally wherever I go.
I wish you all the same experience!
