I went on an outing today. I wore my newly altered black dress, off black hose, and black flats/heels. I went to a fast food restaurant wearing flats. It was a bit unnerving. I had to stand in line behind three customers. For a while, I do not think the employees or other people in line had noticed me. There was a man waiting for his food who took a look at me. I ordered my food. By the time I was ordering my food, I think the other customers should have had a chance to see what was going on around them. I filled my drink. A customer who had seen me and had his coworker look my way came over to the drink station while I was there. I said hello and he replied. I stood and waited for my food. The other waiting customers paid me no attention. While I was in line, a few other customers had entered the restaurant. I was called and I took my food from the woman at the counter. I took a deep breath and walked through the restaurant to a table near the far corner. That was where I felt comfortable enough to sit. I sat down and ate my food quickly because I was afraid of how many more people were going to enter the restaurant. I got up and walked to the trash and walked out to my car.

Next, I went to a clothing store that I have been in before. I wore my heels. I shopped around. I tried a few jackets with my new dress. I asked a clerk whom I had spoken with before if my dress was too short. It comes to my knees. I normally do not wear such short skirts or dresses. I feel like I was showing so much leg. I also felt like the heels were excessive. I asked the clerk. She and two other clerks who happened along while we were talking said that it was not too short. They said the heels were good with it. I think one expressed some hesitation. But they all complimented my outfit. I used to be told that I dressed like a grandmother, or a librarian. This was a nice alternate thing to be told! I shopped a little more. Other customers came and went. It was not much different than when I am dressed as a man and shopping in the ladies' section.

At one point, I wanted to go look at slips because I do not have a slip short enough to wear with this dress. There was a man near the lingerie section. I do not like to go to the lingerie section in women's clothes. I do not want to communicate that crossdressers are into panties, etc. I want the image to be more exterior, you know? Anyhow, I went on into the lingerie section. The man saw me and he walked into the nearby shoe section so he could get a better look. He was trying to fake that he was not trying to look at me. But he was in the women's shoe section and drifting toward lingerie. I felt a little awkward and rushed. I did not get a slip. I walked out of the lingerie section. I considered saying hello as I passed him. I figured that he might be a crossdresser seeing another of his kind in the wild... But, I did not say anything and I headed on toward the exit. My lunch break had gone too long and I needed to go back to work. I left the store and changed clothes in my car and went back to work. I sure wish I had a job where I could dress up like this!

what a wonderful adventure. it sounds like it was full of angst for you but overall i felt it turned out positive. i believe the concern you feel leading to "being rushed" will subside as your confidence grows.

more outings, eat slowly, walk casually and the lingerie department is yours to explore

well done and enjoy the next visit

I felt rushed because my lunch hour was almost an hour and three quarters when it was all over with. :)

If I need to shop in the lunch hour, it usually lasts for two.

Takes time to try things on and if you get a friendly SA to help, it takes a damn sight longer. :)
