Hi. I would like to tell you a bit about my style of dressing up. I am kind of guessing some of you could be CD'ing similarly.

Firstly, I wanna say that I never CD at home, but outdoors, USUALLY, I am in 'limited dressing up' mode. For instance, I never wear a dress or a skirt or stilettos. The only makeup I go for is some lipstick every now and then. But, I almost always go for short shorts. Depending on the place and my courage level, sometimes very short ones :) I like showing off my legs, which are my best asset :) Also, I really have gotten used to the comfort of wearing short shorts. When I wear pants, I usually feel quite uncomfortable. Now, some might say wearing shorts is not CD'ing. But, as you know, things have changed since the 80's. Since then, men almost always go for long shorts, usually at least knee level. Gosh, I really don't like to wear such shorts.

Anyway, between April and November, I almost always go for short shorts, with no stockings or socks. I love wearing flipflops. I almost always wear those (and every now and then sports shoes with ankle socks). Also, an ankle bracelet on each ankle and a toering on each middle toe are like a must for me in that period :) As for the top, I just wear a regular t-shirt.

Between December and March, since it gets cold, I still wear short shorts but with stockings :) In that period, since I cannot wear flipflops with stockings, I go for sports shoes or quite feminine boots. I have my favorite one. A pair of knee-level black boots with low and comfy heels. I just cannot walk with any heel higher than 3-4 cm. I guess that is my most womanlike attire. And, for the top, a t-shirt and a jacket. I mean, short shorts, stockings and knee-level boots. It had taken me quite an effort to have the courage to wear that combo :)

Oh, and I used to have my fingernails painted (never managed to do it well on my own, hehe) 10 different colors, but I haven't gone for that for quite many years now.

Does any of you, at least sometimes, dress up like that outdoors ?

I have gone out and walked around in public wearing panties under my male shorts many times. Contrary to my original fear of going out wearin panties under my pants, I have discovered that no one has X-ray vision and they can?t tell that I am wearing panties.

I'm with you on the short shorts! I miss the 70's and early 80's when shorts were called shorts for a reason. "Shorts" that go to your knees just don't do the trick, both comfort and cooling, and I always hated the look of "shorts" that go past the knees (I call them knickers, they're just waiting to be tucked into long socks ala Tom Sawyer). Personally, I always refused to wear them over my knees no matter what. I'd buy jean shorts and then cut a few inches off just to make them usable.
I'm quite happy to see the style getting a little shorter now, but it's still a far cry from what I miss.

Oh, a single anklet and a single toering are my staple in any mode. :)

I also hated it when men?s shorts and especially swim suits went from being short shorts to what I consider ridiculously long swim wear. I mean if you are going to get a sun tan it makes it even worse.

Although in recent years I went out fully dressed up, for a long time I just enjoyed doing the same as you. I would wear short shorts and pantyhose in cooler weather. Although you may feel like the world is looking at you, hardly anyone took notice, so a few times I asked female attendants at convenient stores if they noticed I had pantyhose on. They always said no but I did get some complements on having nice legs. So yea, if you have nice looking legs , it?s fun to show them off and I have done the same many times before I started going out fully dressed up.
