I went out completely in femme drab today

[Katrina]

Most days I go out (to work, etc), I'm wearing mostly women's stuff, but never women's shirts. I just can't seem to find any that are mannish enough to get away with in guy mode. Well, today I went for a jog and I can say that I didn't have a thread of men's clothing on at all! I was only in some long sweat pants (actually I think they are more like yoga pants), a tank top, and women's sneakers and socks. It was liberating, and it makes me want to find a shirt I can get away with.

Went shopping today as usual on my day off, and as usual, not a piece of drab on. All fem. I have 3 blouses that look like regular drab shirts ecept that they button the other way. That's one i'm wearing in my avatar. O.K., so it has some pink in it-shoot me! Gotta keep them guessing girlfriend! Oh yeah, got some lip stick at K-Mart and put it on in the parking lot. Gotta be comfy you know. love and xxxx, Lily

Way to go Katrina! I am so happy for you. In fact, I have to say that I'm really proud of you for wearing all femme items. I have been flirting with that same thought for the last few weeks. It must have felt great.

Good luck finding a shirt that you like. I may have to do the same. When more of us blur the lines of gender, then it won't seem like such a big deal.

Hugs.

keep having fun thats all i can say

i've been sleeping in women's pj's and i get the same feeling of relaxation

i have to wear suits all day tho!!! bleggh

[ChristineRenee]

Good for you Katrina. I'm proud of ya!:cheer:

[paulaN]

that's great Katrina. don't ya just love it. Michele what do you wear under those drab suits? Anything we should know about. He He...

[Katrina]

Awww, thanks for the encouragement everybody. :) Now I need to do more shopping...maybe tomorrow will be an enfemme shopping trip somewhere...

[Charleen]

Shopping? Did Someone Say Shopping?

[sissystephanie]

I regularly take my morning walk enfemme completely. Panties, bra, feminine tank top or Tee and a skort. Even my shoes and socks are feminine. My neighbors have seen me often, but never say anything. Today I did a Lily thing. I went to the Tanning Salon wearing a lace trimmed feminine top, a denim skirt, and open toe sandals (1 3/4 heels) showing off my bright pink toes. Oh yes, VS pink panties under all. Of course, the young ladies at the Salon are used to see me come in wearing one of my skorts so a skirt was not that different, except to me. Than I went to the P.O. to get my mail. 2 people in the P.O. took second looks, and as I started to get back in my car the driver of a car going by almost had an accident turning to look at me! Wish I could dress like that all the time!:love:


More girl than man

[Rachel Morley]

Great news Katrina! I think it's fabulous that you are blurring the lines of gender expression. Take it from me you can get away with a hell of a lot more than you think you can. I think that shirt is just a shopping trip away :happy:

P.S. Be a little bold and go for something that is a touch more femme than you think you can get away with.....I bet you $50 not a single person says a thing to you when you wear it in guy mode.

[Billijo49504]

When the young guy down the street asked me about what I was wearing, he wasn't worried about the skort I had on or the protrusion of my boobs. He was wondering about what was in the holster I had on under my long shirt....BJ

[Sarah Smile]

Isn't dressing "en fab" great? When I save up some money, I'm going to have to buy some girlie sneakers or something to complete the look, but it feels great to be pushing one's personal envelope in the right direction, even if it's a slow process.

[spandexgirl188]

All i wear now is womens clothing most of the time. From sweaters to pants especially underwear, I have no guy underwear. For instance today i wore a black shiny thong bodysuit with black shiny spandex, white slouch socks and womens 9.5 sneakers when i went jogging at 5:30am. Mind you i did hide my hair and face with a ball cap cuz make up gets yucky with sweat. It was still dark with no one outside so it was the perfect time to do that but, i still put on my breast forms and tucked all the way, cuz i was taking no chances. lol

*hugs*

Katrina,

Way to go girl! Tops really are the most difficult thing for me to find to pass as a guy shirt. Generally, for work, I haven't found anything suitable. Good Luck to you.

[noname]

I know what you mean. I've been trying to find some shirts I can wear. I do have a couple I sometimes wear but not something I could say wear around people I know. I've found most womens shirts to be low cut and I think they would look odd on me. I'm wondering, why does the low cut shirt cami underneith not work, or does it?

[swiss_susan]

I know what you mean those yoga pants are so much more comfortable than regular sweats.

Anyway sounds like you had fun, good for you.

[DeeDee3]

Awww, thanks for the encouragement everybody. :) Now I need to do more shopping...maybe tomorrow will be an enfemme shopping trip somewhere...

When I go to work today I'll be wearing panties, pantyhose, bra, camisole,and girls jeans (Chick), and a man's T Shirt. They all wear them, and you can see them shopping for them all the time. It's cold, so I can't wear my sandels, but I'll have on girls work boots. Over it all will be a jacket so I'll feel great, and noone will be the wiser. DeeDee3

[RachelDenise]

Katrina, I have no doubt that you'll find something and it will work out just fine! Blur away.

[Kate Simmons]

New term? Didn't know what it was called. I guess I enjoy Fab a lot as "Eric".:happy: Ericka

[jjjjohanne]

Shirts do seem hard to find! Getting a non-girly color isn't too hard, but finding a style that is similar to a man's style that isn't too short is difficult. Almost every shirt in the store is either entirely girly, or it won't tuck in to my pants because it is only long enough to cover my belt.

I once found a rayon shirt that didn't look too masculine. It was a collared button up shirt. It did not have the extra darts in it to provide space for breasts, so it fit like men's wear. I have worn it with no reaction from anyone, including a couple barbers.

I bought another shirt that was of the Polo type. It did not have buttons and the collar had some shaping to resemble lace. It is really not obviously femme, but it is pushing the boundary of what one can get away with while avoiding anyone noticing... That shirt isn't long enough to tuck in and stay in.

For sneakers usually my little white keds or a mule style sneaker. I do like to wear loafer style mules and clogs in drab.

[Jenniferritchie]

I have to admitt when iread these kind of posts i do get a bit jelous as i am not anywhere brave enough to go out enfem, but that is not to say i leave the house every day with my fem security blanket of my complete under clothes, i never leave the house wiyhout wearing a bra or cammi top, panties and tights or holdup stockings. i am right at this time struggling how to figure out how i could get out the house as jennifer without being caught or my wife finding out, i am beginning to wonder whether i want to live on my own so that i can at least come home and dress to suit myself without thinking of the wife (who knows about Jennifer), but my two boys have no idea, so you can imagine how frustrating this gets. but good on you and i will some day join you.

what is a skort?

[Katrina]

A skort is a pair of shorts that look on the outside like a skirt.

My shoes were a pair of blue sneakers that have a bit of glitter in the stripes. I've worn them many many times jogging - in fact those are my designated jogging sneakers.

BTW, I love the term "en fab". Consider that one stolen!

[kneehighs]

katrina Congrats on your fully femme ensemble. Have you tried jcrew.com yet for shirts? Calvin Klein shirts usually work for me...Good luck on a delicious femme shirt :)

[AmberTG]

Billijo, sounds like you got all the bases covered, You must live by Detroit or something:D I need to get a concealed carry permit.
Katrina, try looking for women's button up flannel shirts, I have a very comfy one that I "borrowed" from my wife, actually she lets me wear it cause she doesn't anymore. Its a soft blue with a bit of pink in it, but than, I saw lots of pink in men's shirt fashion this summer so it's not at all unusual colorwize.

[Courtneygurl]

Blurring the lines is something I'm a fan of. I've only recently started getting brave enough to do it, and I have all you girls to thank. I like the whole concept of the newly-coined "en-fab" style. I prefer panties and women's pants to men's - they fit and feel so much nicer! I have some shoes now. In fact, I recently went on a trip with a lot of people from work, and no one even noticed my running shoes. Maybe because they were blue and white. But, they were women's shoes, and I at least knew it!

Shirts are a problem, but if you have a nice t-shirt or a nice men's buttoned shirt, and that's the only guy clothes you're wearing, so what? It still blurs the lines nicely. I've had a problem in finding women's shirts that fit right in the shoulders. Then again, Japan doesn't offer many choices in larger sizes.

Good luck to all of you!

[Marlena Dahlstrom]

Glad you're enjoying yourself, Katrina!

[JenniferMint]

I've went out in drab wearing unisex t-shirt, women's pants, women's socks, women's sneakers.

When I read the phrase "femme drab", I thought you meant you were wearing men's clothing but presenting as a woman! I kind of want to try that sometime (so, wig + breast forms, then all men's clothing).

[Megan Hartwell]

I am always wearing panties, womens jeans(levis), womens socks, womens nikes or womens work boots and whatever drab shirt I feel like. When winter comes I sometimes wear a black or cream/ivory mock turtleneck bodysuit. I love winter:)

[sissystephanie]

what is a skort?

A pair of shorts usually covered front and back so that they look like a skirt. They are great to wear. I own 10 of them and wear them to go shopping, or just walking.

[Annie(ozcd)]

A skort is a very very short skirt LOL

[Annie(ozcd)]

I have seen some very very skort shirts. Not that I wear them myself though.

[paula_cd]

Katrina,

Your jogging outfit sounds fab!!!

Love Paula x

[Phyliss]

Gee, I thought I'd discovered something new, and here it seems that just everybody is doing it.
For the last three months I've been wearing jeans from Fashion Bug, (L.A. Blues size 14P stretch denim) and some nice "cross trekers" from Payless. Of course the mandatory stockings, panties and bra, plus a light coating of shear foundation, light colored or clear mascara, and a light pink lippy. All of which BTW has passed "the wife test"
Under my shirt, now that cooler weather has arrived I've been wearing some different "T" shirts from Lane Bryant. Like everybody has mentioned they have a bit too much of a V neck to them to be worn alone, and the cut of the shoulders is pretty much of a give away.
I also, have been looking for a "man tailored" shirt that I can "get away with", although I have been looking at what women wear while going about their daily life. I don't think that a normal male shirt would be too far out of place.
As we are prone to rationalize the wearing of panties by saying "it's only a piece of cloth" so also is a shirt. Still, it'd be nice to be able to wear a girly shirt that doesn't scream GIRL. BLEND IN is the rule.

[Rebecca Jeanne]

Way to go Katrina,

I've thought of the same outfit for walking and maybe to brave to a yoga class.

I think maybe Eddie Bauer or Lands End at Sears for a plain style shirt.

[ophillia]

Most days I go out (to work, etc), I'm wearing mostly women's stuff, but never women's shirts. I just can't seem to find any that are mannish enough to get away with in guy mode.

I was only in some long sweat pants (actually I think they are more like yoga pants), a tank top, and women's sneakers and socks. It was liberating, and it makes me want to find a shirt I can get away with.

When its warm enough in the morning I take my walk in panties, womens shorts, socks sneakers a bra and a tank top. Once in a while I just wear a sports bra with no tank top. Makes me feel great.

[JoAnnDallas]

When I came to Dallas, wife was still in WV until the house sold and I stayed at my sister's house. Many times I would go to the store wearing panties, bra (No pads), Pantyhose, a Ladies T-SHirt, Ladies pants, and Ladies shoes. I would many times wear near flesh color lipstick too. Then fall came and I borrowed one of my sister's flannel blouses and would wear that one instead of the T-Shirt. I was totally dressed enfem, but I still looked like I was wearing drab chothing. Funny thing was if you looked close you would have noticed that the pants did not have any back pockets.

[InKorea]

That's cool Katrina. You look pretty enough to get away with it. I sure couldn't pull that off. lol.

well done girl keep it going and just have fun

[Drucilla]

Nice thing about jeans and a shirt (aka blouse) is that you can usually get a better fit . I buy size 14 jeans and 1x tops.
The 1x tops have a sleeves that are long enough and shoulders that are wide enough. I find that Kohl's store brands of "polo"type shirts in both short and long sleeves pass for male shits if you pick neutral colors.
