If you're not going out, what do you do?

[Lena]

Okay, mostly, I don't go full dress hardly at all. I don't know what I would do? I like sitting on the couch or maybe doing chores. I don't know what else I would do? I can't work on my car without getting dirty. Can't mow the lawn.

So what di you do if you're not going out dressed? Do you sit around all dressed up with no place to go?

[Tiffany Jane]

Mainly clean, spend time on computer, or other things around house. Spent one day working on a puzzle just being myself. Really just about anything away from open windows...we don't have curtains or blinds on a couple street facing windows with neighbors.

[Amanda L.]

Hi Lena
Yeah that's pretty much it. Move around the house as gracefully as I can in heels, sit in my chair, venture outside and sit in my chair, go back inside change outfit and sit in my chair (I am a big fan of sitting so it would seem)
For the past couple of months now my friend Donna and I FaceTime each other and share a bottle (or more) of wine. We have some great chats with a lot of laughs and late nights. It is a great deal of fun and seems like getting out.
Luv
Amanda

Hi Lena,

If I am not going out dressed as Isha and decide to take a bit of Isha time at home it is normally without make-up . . . just wig and clothes. Normally I just spend it as I would if I were boy me . . .watching television with my wife, building computer cases and other hobbies I may enjoy.

Hugs

Isha

[Adriana Moretti]

If I'm not going out...I will usually dress down and comfy in leggings, or sweats,...no heels but my hi top wedge sneakers ...take my sweet time doing makeup and experimenting....sometimes I have (Artist) dates where you treat yourself to all your favorites ...food,wine,music, etc...maybe ACTUALLY do some blog work.and get chatty with friends on facebook too. I would love to video chat with gals ( non kinky style) I think that would be fun.

[Anna H]

I (usually) take some pictures, then switch to casual dress with capris
and flats and do some machine work on my lathe...being very careful not
to break my nails. (though I do ruin one regularly...:( )

There's tons of stuff to do here when I'm not chatting with my friends.
I think i'd like to go out sometimes, but i've always got a million things
to do...and happily so. Even when I am out, i can't wait to get back
home, so it's practically never a relaxing thing for me...lol

:)

[Rachael Leigh]

Yes I pretty much dress every day in something with no makeup or wig and go about my morning just dressed comfortably
I'm not going anywhere in full dress so if I make that effort to look my best I usually take pictures so I can improve on my look.

[Kris Avery]

I work from home so I guess I am always wearing a variety of items in one way shape or form (the last one is a pun).
If it's a picture day (which I have been doing the last 3 weeks) then there is more involved.

I don't need the complete package. Just a few items, and I have been trying to get into the casual female clothes lately without much success - based on pictures.

My best times are spent relaxing in the clothes I love - and still working/making money.

[Sarah Doepner]

There aren't really a lot of options. I can sit outside on my back deck and enjoy the air and listen to music or read. I've been known to do some writing, cooking or baking as well. There are some areas in the house with messes I really need to attend to, but usually don't. Most often, I look for new combinations of tops and skirts and sweaters and pants that will be "just the thing" the next time I do go out. The big thing is I enjoy whatever I'm doing, even if it's just sitting.

[Amy Fakley]

I used to work from home. That was a crossdresser's bonanza, let me tell ya! :-)
In the end, though, even with the dressing that gig was way too stressful.

These days I'm back in an office, so I dress less often, but when I do I sure don't wanna dress down!
I live in a very small town, and I'm not out to the general public. We're at least 100 miles from the next reasonably sized town, so going out is just too complicated.

So what am I doing in my house with all the doors locked and the blinds shut tighter than a skeeter's tweeter?

Spending inordinate amounts of time trying to get my makeup right and take a decent picture for one thing, LOL.
But mostly I like to write music when I have Amy time. It ain't always great, but it's something to do besides the dishes, which I have done in heels and stockings and the whole 9 ... LOL (who here hasn't, I'm guessing? LOL)

[2B Natasha]

Hi Lena

I don't get dressed. That's what I do. Nothing. I don't think of my comfy clothes as anything other then my clothes so I don't think of it as dressing. Sure they are capris and cute sneakers. But I wear them outdid inside top side etc so it's just my normal dangly wear. That's all. I used to. But it got boring quick. Plus it's a lot of work for no apparent benefit.

Cheers

[kimdl93]

I do everything I might otherwise do. It's just living for me. I'm dressed whenever I can be, fully so. And that's true if I'm heading to Starbucks, the mall, working from home or just sitting on the patio relaxing.

[Lena]

Haha, I've been out in the garage all night working on a MGB. Dang, I missed a Daisy Duke opportunity.

[Isabella Ross]

Enjoy feeling pretty...sometimes by myself, sometimes with my wife. And building up for a first public outing, hopefully this year...

[GreyEyes]

For me an ideal day is spent at home en femme. While at home, I spend a lot of time on the computer, talking to my wife, doing chores and sometimes phone calling. I hate going out because that means boy clothes again and I just don't feel right in them. That's hard on my wife who doesn't get out much. My long term goal is go out with her as myself but I'm still working on how to achieve that living in a condo with no car.

[Nadya]

It depends on things like if my SO is around. If I'm dressed when she's around, I'll spend time with her either watching movies or playing video games. Other times I'll just mess around on the computer. Honestly, I'm getting bored being at home all the time. All the time I put into getting ready and I don't leave the house. I have been getting the urge to go out I just worry about the neighbors seeing me.

[Brittany CD]

Just hang around, maybe read or play video games or watch a show or movie

[biggirlsarah]

Hi Lena, I dress as much as possible and my wife is fully accepting, if I am dressed what do I do well I do whatever needs doing, be it the laundry, the cleaning the cooking, popping round the neighbours for a coffee and a chat, feeding the cats, generally whatever needs doing I am just doing it en-femme, just like a normal female would.

[sometimes_miss]

Clean, laundry, iron, lots of tidying up, read, watch TV/movies/youtube, work on my trains & computers, play with my birds, listen to my stereo & sing along with the songs I love, fix/repair broken things around the house, call people who are too far away to just visit spontaneously, play chess/cards/flight sims online. Mostly while dressed in simple top and skirt, school uniform style. It just sort of feels normal to be wearing that during the daytime. Sometimes spend the afternoon playing with make up and nail polish, reading seventeen or some young adult girl fiction.

[NicoleScott]

Just being en femme for a while is fun, and I spend a lot of it taking pics (it takes a lot to get a good one).
But half the fun is GETTING en femme. I love the transformation process, and take my time, enjoying every minute of the hour-and-a-half or so it takes.

[Vale]

Hi Lena,

My dressing is strictly in the home, with a tolerant wife. When I dress up I love to cook - either for my wife and me, or just for myself. Either way I'll prepare an elegant candlelight dinner with, excellent food, wine and music. Afterward I love to dance, by myself since my wife doesn't wish to participate. In summer, a midnight, starlight swim in our pool is wonderful. Over all, my girl side likes to be appreciated and treated well - even if it is only by myself.

Since dressing is a tool I use to relax and just be me, the stress of going out dressed and dealing with people is not very attractive to me.

Cheers,
Vale

[Stephanie47]

My back yard is very private and secure. If the weather is nice I will eat my breakfast or lunch and read my newspaper outside. I tend the flower gardens. Inside? Whatever a traditional June Cleaver woman would do or a stay at home man: vacuum, laundry, ironing, baking, meal preparation, clean the fridge, etc. Sometimes I wonder if my working wife has figured out when I spend the day en femme by the amount of domestic chores I've done? Part of emulating a woman is not act like a man and sit around and make comments about how the house looks. I just get off my pantied ass and do it. I don't even need a French maid's outfit to do it. :)

[Teresa]

Mowing the lawn would be fun for me and the neighbours ! I set the easel up and paint or just do household jobs and cook or sneak a bit of sunbathing in the garden ! Can't just sit around it's so much nicer doing the jobs dressed !

[RADER]

I do get dressed about once a week; And yes I say in the "Closet"
Besides doing House Work, I go down into me Cabinet Shop and
work on some project I am doing. I generally wear a Jean Skirt and
a top, with bra and forms. I do under dress most of the time, as I wear
panties 24/7 and womans jeans, bra, with a mans shirt, Polo style
with multi colors as to not see the bra underneath. It has seem to work
well as I have had no comets on me wearing a bra.

This about covers it for me, too ;)

[carhill2mn]

Since I "dress" completely every day, I do whatever daily chores are necessary.

[natcrys]

If I feel like dressing yet not going out.. then I usually spend it doing Tassia-related things: trying out new outfits and/or combinations, take indoor photos and finding ways to improve my photography/flash skills. Or I will experiment with make-up.

But usually, when I'm staying in.. I'm not dressing up. I will walk in my heels to get my practice, but that's about it. My jogging pants and t-shirt are just way too comfy when I'm inside doing my things. :p

[erickka]

I cook, clean, do laundry, anything else most GG's do as far as housework type chores are concerned. Otherwise I'm one of those who likes to get out of the house and do something, be it shopping or whatever.

[Claire Cook]

I usually spend a couple of hours each day as me, wearing comfy clothes (capris, shorts, sleeveless tops, housedress) with wig and forms but sans makeup. Do domestic things, garden, just being me. I do some professional writing, and I have always found that dressing helps remove writer's block.

And oh yes -- checking up on what the rest of you are saying! :battingeyelashes:

[Krisi]

I get on this forum.

I do what I would be doing anyway except going outdoors or doing dirty or dangerous things around the house. Things like climbing ladders or working with power saws.

[MsPriscilla]

just absorb my femininity, practice my makeup, get more used to living in heels, read, BE PRISCILLA, wash my lingerie, contact gurlfriends on the web.


Sadly, not as often as I would like

[Judith96a]

If I'm not going out? Pose for the camera and then - it depends where I am. If at home - compute, chat on the radio, watch tele. On one occasion when away from home I actually just got on with writing a paper (and sorta forgot that I was all dolled up until I got hungry!)

[Georgina]

Don't go out but dress every evening. I just carry on as normal enjoying leisure time.

[Brianna_H]

Like a lot of others, I don't go out much. We're kinda homebody nerdy types, my wife and I. Every day when I get home from work or on weekends, I get wear a skirt and a woman's top. Sometimes just the skirt and a t-shirt. I like eyeliner and mascara, and those are quick to do.

I run roleplaying games online almost every night, play music, watch movies or shows with my lady. Really all the same stuff I did before I started my TG journey, but with makeup and trans reading thrown into the mix.

[Samantha_Smile]

What do I do once I'm dressed?

-Get re-accustomed to walking in heels. This step is VERY important :D
-Do any laundry that I need to do for me and the Mrs. (Never dishes though - Long nails? HELLOOO?!)
-Make a coffee
-Take a few selfies of my efforts for posterity (and compliments LOL)
-Watch some YouTube videos from my couch.
-Upload the photos and catch up with my online CD activities
-Make an entry to my blog if it's been a while.
-Chat to other CDs online, catch up with friends

[Lucy Lou]

I just spend time being with myself dressed and watch youtube or a film. Catch up with people on forums and read some stuff about dressing and make up, just to be connected with it. And lastly, just enjoy being 'en femme'

Lucy Lou xx

[Raychel]

For me it is mostly just normal inside stuff, Laundry, Cleaning, Checking on the forum.
watching television, getting meals ready, ect, ect, ect.

[CarmenSkye]

Pretty much. I used to get dressed up and run around my apartment doing chores like laundry. I would also play video games. Once I got confident enough I would go on sites like omeagle and chatroulette to see if I could pass and would usually end up talking to strangers for a while.

[CherylFlint]

Those in-between times when I feel like dressing but don't go out I, once again, try-on EVERYTHING that I own in EVERY possible combinations that I can think of.
Girl watching is very informative. I am always amazed at how they pull-off the stripes and checkereds and colors and styles and put it all together and make it work for them.
Looking at how they dress in fashion magazines isn't quite how they REALLY do it. To see how they really do it you just have to study them at the mall.
I'll never do it the way they do it so I just dress the way they do wherever I go. A mini at the grocery store doesn't cut it.
So getting dressed-up with no place to go is a good excuse to just make a royal mess of the closet and have myself a fashion show.
With a camera on the phone I take pictures of myself in the different combinations and I get to critique them with a critical eye a couple of days later.
So a night in may not be so bad after all.
I mowed the lawn one time "dressed" in jeans.

[Yoshisaur]

I'm the same most of you gals I just hang about maybe get on my computer or play some video games and if no one else is at home I can just do my daily tasks around the house

[charlenesomeone]

Like most girls here get on the computer. Clean house, watch tv.

[MariaA]

Sit around, take photos, watch makeup tips, and enjoy the process. I sometimes think I should go take a drive, then my fear kicks in and I'm happy just sitting in the house. lol. Oh and take the trash to the end of the driveway but it is really late at night and I usually panic and run back to the house in my heels, I have gotten pretty good at running in heels though.:heehee:

[carahawkwind]

If my wife is home I either watch TV with her or play computer games, we might also have intimate couples times if she's feeling it that day. If she's not around, I'll usually take some pictures if I like how I look, then I'm usually online a lot usually looking at things related to dressing, like shopping sites or lurking on discussion sites and admittedly that often leads to looking at porn and having individual intimate time.

[Linda E. Woodworth]

HI Lena,

Short answer is I get all dressed up with no place to go.

I try to play secretary and work in my home office doing something I've saved for just this occasion.

The other favorite activity is being a homemaker. I'll do the laundry, iron or bake some type of goodies to destroy other peoples diets.

By mutual agreement, I don't go out of the house dressed except in very specific circumstances and they don't happen too often.

[Mistybtm]

Usually visit TG/cross dresser web site also play a lot of video games. and do some on-line shopping.

[Beverley Sims]

I have suitable clothes for all occasions.
When working in the ceiling, building renovations and under the car I have some quite cute coveralls and work clothes.

I often remove my wig as it does get in the way.
On a comical note, my boobs often have hand prints on them and tops have to be washed more frequently.
No, I do not want to work without my boobs even if it is more convenient. :)

[MissTee]

Read, watch a movie, experiment with a recipe, make a bracelet, clean, etc. Lots to do.

[jaerina96]

Well... I go femme right after work whether I'm going out or not and change back if I have to. If I'm staying home, I do the same thing I'd always do. Play with the cats, work on hobbies, reading... I'm not going to break out a dress and heels for that, most of the time I go for "comfy casual." I'll only bother with makeup at home alone if I get too upset at the mirror, the feel of my hair, forms and clothes tends to be enough to keep my anxiety under control and make me feel femme when I'm by myself. I do tend to stick with my female voice any time I'm dressed, which admittedly is mostly conversations with the kitties but it feels wrong not to.

[NicoleScott]

You've heard (or maybe not) the expression "work is its own reward"? Crossdressing is like that.

[Maria Blackwood]

Casual clothes and lingerie in the evenings. It relaxes me, and I really mean that. I change out of my daily drab and into something silky, satiny or feminine casual and all the stress from the day just goes away. It's gone. Sleeping in lingerie brought an end to years of sleep disorders as well.

It's like my mind rotates 90 degrees. Math geeks will note that makes my mind imaginary. :D

[arial]

Going out for me is not an option, so I find there are a number of indoor things to do which keep me occupied. Household chores and similar activites mostly. Don't watch much TV but as I am a member of a couple other forums, I do spend some time on the computer as well
