Can u dress too much?

[docrobbysherry]

I find myself a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Trying to finish 2 stories I've already shot while organising three complicated new story shoots!:eek:

I'm falling behind on my business responsibilities and I'm trying to reorganize all the crap I have at 3 different locations.:doh:

Then, of course I have a weekend outing to prepare for ever week or two. If I could just forget completely about Sherry and dressing I could get SO MUCH DONE!:bonk:

Any other CD's relate?

[Helen_Highwater]

Sherry,
My life doesn't seem as complicated as yours however I do find that if dressed while at home, although I know I have drab things I need to get on with, changing back can get delayed longer than perhaps it should. I then find myself trying to squeeze my drab jobs into less time than they ideally need.

As it stands it's manageable but I do need sometimes to be firm with myself and focus on getting on with my drab life.

Being 24/7 my answer would be no. Doc, hoping it never comes to you giving up Sherry.

[Raychel]

I will admit that my dressing does sometimes takeover.
There are certainly things that should be done that get pushed aside because I would
rather use the time for dressing. But life is short. Does it really matter in the big picture
if those things get done today or tomorrow. As long as you are enjoying the best life
you can. Isn't that what really matters. If you would rather dress than get out and
paint the fence. So what, Enjoy your time.

If things are really important they will take precedence.

Just my thoughts.

[April Rose]

If I gave up the internet I would get more done than if I gave up wearing dresses.:heehee:

When our daughter was attending school out of state my wife would visit her for seven to ten days. It was femme time 24/7. Having been limited to femme time on a daily basis of six hours while she worked I just found myself fully attired all the time. I did all the in-home chores but neglected any outside chores or tasks that needed to be done.

[Cheryl T]

Doc ... simple solution.
Let Sherry do the work.

As to dressing too much. Not me, I don't see that ever happening.

[Traci H]

Not having much time to dress, I can?t over do it at this point. Once in awhile I might be dressed fem and it keeps me from doing a task. As it is, I do so much around here that that makes little difference. Now if my wife became accepting, that would be another issue. I would have to balance the dressing and I might find it difficult.

Presently I spend more time thinking about dressing than actually doing it. Planning, dreaming, etc keeps me going.

[abby054]

Yes, I can relate. I recently took a new job that requires more time. I too am falling behind on my business responsibilities. Last Wednesday, I dressed for the first time in several months.

[Petra1]

I can get so much more done if I didn't dress. But then, there are always the YouTube rabbit holes.

[CynthiaD]

No, you can never dress too much. I seldom wear makeup other than lipstick, so dressing in female clothing takes no more time than dressing in male clothing. Especially when wearing a pull-over dress. That takes less time, if you don’t count the time needed to choose the perfect outfit for the day.

[BLACK STOCKINGS]

I get dressed almost every day after work. I need it to remove the stress of the day.

[JohnH]

Can "u" dress too much?
No. I wear dresses all the time. The last time I wore pants (trousers) was 2024 late September to my mother's funeral.

I've read many posts here about dressers who put on a maid's outfit, Cheryl, and it motivates them to clean the house.:thumbsup:
That only makes me want to get my camera and do a maid shoot. And, Sherry'd never intentionally get her pretty clothes dirty!:eek:



I would put u in more of a trans than CD, like me, catagory, John. I expend so much time and energy each time I dress I have a very hard time dressing more than once a week!:doh:

[JohnH]

docrobbysherry, please take a look at my signature block.
For me to dress en femme everyday, I simply put on a dress.

[Sabine7]

Once already dressed I have always problem to leave the female mode. I would stay for ever if I only could. Feeling too good.

[JohnH]

Sabine, I *NEVER* leave female mode.

You can never dress too much Sherry, I often found myself slacking on my work responsibilities when out of town on business trips spending so much time dressing after a while I incorporated crossdressing with my work spending hours doing computer work in my hotel room dressed as a lady traveling on business I also saved most of my phone work for the 200 mile drive back home while dressed hands free of course. Like others have said try to include dressing with work whenever possible.

[Debbie Denier]

I don?t think I dress enough. Never have enough time or opportunities. So dressing too much is a problem I have yet to experience.

[Genifer Teal]

You can dress every day. Don't know what you can do beyond that. Lol

[docrobbysherry]

Gen, as I mentioned above to John, I consider folks who dress daily to be trans. CD's don't normally dress every day.:)

[Genifer Teal]

I realize, thus the lol. Though there is the physical limit. I suppose you could count day vs sleep time and double up the opportunities.

Sorry, I re read your initial post. I see your point that dressing takes away time from other tasks.

[Princess Chantal]

Yes I certainly could and have done to the point where I was just going thru the motions. There is a perfect balance that I strive to maintain in order to try to keep every crossdressing session special.

Gen, as I mentioned above to John, I consider folks who dress daily to be trans. CD's don't normally dress every day.:)

How about those who wear panties and a bra under guy their clothes every day? Thoughts anyone?

[DanielleDubois]

I think the answer to this question is dependant on the extent to which crossdressing is part of your life. For those who are expressing their “true self” then probably there is not too much time spent crossdressing. On the other end of the spectrum I am like Princess Chantal where my Danielle days are a special time and occupy a very small proportion of my overall life.

About every two weeks seems to satisfy my need for some Danielle time although even then there are times like this week where I had planned a Danielle day but got up in the morning and simply wasn’t in the mood to get all the Danielle stuff out of the closet and spend 90 minutes putting on makeup and getting ready.

Back in April I had the opportunity to have 3 full days where I could be Danielle 24/7. I was highly anticipating the experience and the first day was great going to bed as Danielle and waking up as Danielle. I also had planned some more elaborate photo sessions which I normally wouldn’t have time for. The second day I only dressed up for several hours and by the third day it had become tedious to do the transformation process and did some DIY projects instead.

So , I realize I could be in the minority but for me there can be too much dressing time.

[docrobbysherry]

I think whatever blows your hair back is cool, ilisa!:thumbsup:

And, if only I was satisfied dressing that way I could dress every day and still not fall behind on any of my duties I'm negecting now!:devil:

[Sabine7]

I used to work from home as a woman, 4-6 hours per day, 5 days in week. I love to be a woman feeling so natural and comfortable. I have always problem to switch back into the male mode. I have never to much being on the female side. I would stay there for ever if only possible.

[Genifer Teal]

As we progress we reach different levels. It's like the difference between dressing as a woman for halloween or dressing as a female character. The woman part is more of a given, and the specific character is actually the costume. That's what it's like.When the dressing part isn't the activity, the activity is the activity and the dressing is how you experience it. It took a while for me to progress from. Dressing up to go out to just dressing up to be dressed if that makes sense like dressing to go shopping. I'm dressing to go on errands that kind of thing. It was its own new level of comfort to get used to.

[docrobbysherry]

Altho, that's a different topic, Gen, it DOES go along with what I said about the differences between some CD's and some trans.:battingeyelashes:

As Sherry I'm ALWAYS dressing as a "female character"! Because unlike many of u, I have no female inside of me that needs to be represented and satisfied!:heehee:

I don't dress to vanilla venues because it's just an embarrassing hassle! And, Sherry totally agrees!:tongueout
