Today, I put on a blouse, ladies shorts, nude hose, and fake keds because I wanted to go Christmas shopping. First I needed to stop by the Apt Complex office. I was quite nervous about this. I hadn't been there dressed this way in a long time. The girl I used to talk to there has been gone and I didn't feel like going to the office this way with the other people since her. Well, this time, I was going to do it. So I walk over there. I felt pretty confident on my journey. At the door, I was hesitant. I walk in. Instead of the new girl, there was a guy. He immediately looked at my feet or lower legs. I handed him my rent and said I was there for a package. He took me to the package pile and I started rifling through it. He walked away. Then he walked to a place where he could potentially see me. I didn't know if he really needed to go there, or if he wanted a look. Then behind me I heard something. The apartment manager was in their kitchenette. I went about my business. Then I took my package, walked to the guy and introduced myself and the manager (a woman) reintroduced herself to me. She was new as well. I spoke with her briefly and he was free to take any looks that he wanted to take. No one seemed to treat me oddly. They know my name and where I live, so I am potentially more out than I used to be!
Then I went shopping. I went to a shoe store, for me, and then a clothing store. Then I walked down the strip mall to a restaurant. On my way to the restaurant, two women were outside of a jewelry store. The younger took a look at me and then looked straight to my feet/ankles. I thought, I am not subtle at all! Maybe I chose the wrong outfit! I walked by them. I looked toward their store as I passed so I could see their reflections in the glass. The girl was looking at me. She said, "Why don't you come inside?" So I did. She never paid any further attention to my lower half. I left there and went to the restaurant. The waitress took an immediate look at my feet/ankles and then treated me normal afterward. No further looks. I walked to the rest room and passed two hispanic customers. They both looked straight to my legs. I was sure I was wearing too obvious of hose. (Leggs Active Support Nude.)
After I left the restaurant, I went to Target. I shopped there for over an hour. I didn't notice anyone pay any specific attention to me. It was great to be free and out dressed how I wanted to be dressed!
Then, I went back to the jewelry store. I looked around some more with the girl helping me. Eventually, I asked her, "I noticed you looking at my outfit when you first saw me. Do I look tacky?" She said that she was just surprised to see me in shorts (65 degree weather today). I asked, did my shoes look funny? and she that she saw my legs and just thought I didn't have much of a tan. I thought, "does she mean she thought I didn't have a tan, so I wore hose?" Well, it turns out, I spoke with her a little more and discovered that she never noticed the hose. She never said that she noticed I had shaved legs. I think she saw something that didn't look exactly right, but never studied it to figure it out... We are more invisible than we think, ladies and gentlemen!!
All in all, I had a WONDERFUL shopping experience. Oh, and I bought my wife some earrings.
