I put on my denim shorts with the flowery trim at the hem, my gingham blue
and white sleevless top over my panties and crop-top bra and went out for
the first time locally.
I wore my flats and plum color lipstick. No wig, no hose (it's hot AND humid
here today).
First, I went to a nearby Country and Western store and bought a new belt
with silver buckle and tip to wear mostly with my denim short skirts: dark
blue, light blue, white, and RED RED RED. The three sales ladies made quite
a fuss over me and I felt very welcome. They helped find the style and size
I wanted. I'll definitely go back there again. Money talks...
Second, I went to the nearby cosmetology school and had my eyebrows waxed
and shaped in a nice feminine style with as high an arch as we could achieve
with the little brow hair I have.
It was done in a big open room with 20 or so techs and several female
customers. None said much, but I got a lot of looks. Didn't phase me a bit.
I knew what I wanted and was confident about who I was and how I was dressed.
Heather, the girl who waxed and shaped my eye brows, said to call any time to
schedule appointments for other things like nails... Again, money talks.
Very positive experiences!!
I guess the fact that I was 70 yesterday and retired for 5 years made going
out easier. If I still had kids at home and was still working, it would
have been much more difficult. For those of you in a situation comparable to
mine but who haven't ventured out, try it, you'll like it. Just be sure to bring
money and be confident about who you are and what you want.
