Been putting off this post. Not sure what the title should be as there are many aspects to it.
We finally went off for a 4 day vacation, which ended up being 3 days as I injured my ankle. I had hoped for many first times, but most did not happen.
Good
I was able to walk the dog outside naturally dressed in a skirt and puffy top. Great fun.
Not able to do
--Go out shopping dressed. This was my error. It was a small community, re about 300 pop, and rural, so women were not dressed nicely but frumpy best dress was moderate jeans and bland top. Well my business casual with only skirts and a couple dresses would stick out like flashing blue light. Definitely a no go. Note to self- need to think about what women are most likely to wear.
--Drive dressed. Here again, I didn't think thru where we were traveling thru. Coastal towns of pops between 20 and 200 are not good events for first time out driving. Got to think more.
--Go in hot tub wearing bikini. My error again. It was nice and private, BUT it was just too cold to jump in. Winds were about 15mph with temps in the mid 50's. Not exactly comfortable for bikini wear. Yes the tub was between 100 and 105, but freezing on the way in and out just did not hum, so aborted. Learning event- check not just temps but also wind for any water activities.
--Dress several full days in a row. I was afraid of being rejected so didn't broach ahead of time. My error. On the second day, in the morning I just slapped on the same outfit as the night before. Well that lasted thru breakfast when I was asked to change back. Phooey. Ok, so I pouted and didn't dress for over 24 hrs. A waste, yes, but it is what it is. Finally a few days after back, I asked why asked to change back. I expected a comment about a problem with cross dressing. Well, there was an issue, but anything close to my fears. The issue boiled down not to dislikes of crossdressing, but dislikes of LAZY crossdressing. Really the same outfit so often, you have more you could have worn.
So I need to up my game. No longer just lazy out with studs, but change earrings with each outfit change. No longer just a blend lipstick, but also ones that shine and are bolder. And especially do not wear the same outfit two times in a row. Plan better and have multiple outfits. While at it, have at least two wigs. One fun and one that looks good. Oh, and take some time with makeup, just slapping on a tad of lipstick does not cut it.
It will be an interesting rest of the year. Has anyone here had to up their dressing game? If so, any recommendations?
Yes, a book long post for me who usually is very short and cryptic, but much to share with the group. Thank you for reading and looking forward to seeing your comments.
