A good day

[Helen_Highwater]

Yesterday (Sat) was what I call a LHAT (Long Home Alone Time) day. The SO goes out late morning and I have the house to myself though to about 5PM. So time to get fully dressed but sans makeup as putting on/talking off eats too much time.

I opted to pair a mainly black blouse that has touches of tan with a taup faux leather pencil skirt, heels to match. I wasn't sure if the combo would work but when I looked in the mirror all doubts were banished. My hip and bum padding filled out the skirt perfectly and I couldn't help thinking that this is an outfit that a GG would wear for a night out fine dining. Stylish suiting a person of my age.

This lifted my spirits. Knowing you've (well I think I did) got things right, puts a spring in your step. I know I wasn't going out but it gave me a feeling of confidence. The down side of course is that my situation doesn't allow me to regularly go out and test my dress sense in front of others.

Washed a few femme things, made lunch, re-arranged my blouse drawer then got a text saying a blouse I'd ordered from Next was awaiting collection from a local convenience store. Quick switch to drab to pick it up while I have the time. Home, quick re-dress and a chance to try the blouse on. Nice fit, nice material, keeper.

Few more tasks done to occupy my time then the the clock says time to go drab.

Now, most evenings I get to sit, as I am now, dressed enfemme for an hour or so in my old office upstairs while my SO sits watching TV downstairs, before I need to cover up to go downstairs myself. Saturday I picked out a black fully tailored knee length skirt and paired it with a black and off while leaf patterned blouse I bought when on Helen's holiday a few weeks ago. Still had the label in, quick try on, fits so another keeper. Being quite a thin material I wore a silky cami underneath as many a GG would do for modesty. Black hose and heels and another outfit for that fine dining experience. And the thing is, the blouse was only a few pounds but you wouldn't know it to look at it.

Two in one day. I must be getting the hang of this dressing malarky.

So what's you're mirror Goldilocks moment? That instant when you see yourself and you know you're on to a winner.

If I am lucky I will get a "good day" next week. My wife offered to watch our grandson at our daughter/son-in-laws place overnight. I retired before my wife decided to fully retire. She was working full days as a substitute teacher which gave me days of 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM for femme time, a la June Cleaver of Leave It To Beaver. It did not take long for me to don all the proper undergarments (bra, panty, full slip), hosiery and heels, pretty dress and don a wig. I usually did not bother with makeup as it was too time consuming to apply and remove. If I did, it was only lip color so I would see lip color on my coffee mug. I spent the day doing domestic chores: laundry and ironing, vacuuming, changing bed linens, baking and meal preparation. I had ample time for prepare breakfast and lunch. Weather permitting there was relaxation on one of the swing sets in our backyard.

My wife and I sleep apart for medical reasons and comfort, so I do get to sleep en femme. I am still attired in last night's attire: white bra, panty and full slip under a Shadowline ankle length nightgown in a pink floral print from its Petals collection. I retired at night about 12:30 AM and get to be en femme until about 9:30 AM, daily.
