Yesterday, I got home from work a little early so I treated myself by going out and doing a little after work shopping.
I hadn't been out in a few weeks so I was due for another outing.
I dressed up, like a female still in her business casual or office work outfit, wearing an ivory colored v-neck top (3/4 sleeves), black designer skirt (mid calf length), Hanes Transparent Sheer pantyhose, and 3 inch opened toe off black sandals.
First place I stopped was at Shoe Carnival.
I walked in and an African-American SA greeted me and so I kindly greeted her back as I was walking into the women's shoe section. The place was a little busy, but nobody seemed to spot me as I was browsing around.
I checked their selection and tried on a few pairs, but nothing seemed to grab my interest so I left.
My next stop was at Target. A few weeks ago, I had shopped there in femme so I figured I do it again since had a nice experience the first time. I walked in and went straight into the women's section then started browsing the various selection of clothing. There were other females browsing, but again nobody seemed to spot me. At one moment, I thought I was because there was a young blonde college aged female (approximately early 20's) looking around and, as I was walking towards a life size mirror, I could see the reflection of her looking at me. I turned around, as if I was minding my own business, to check a clothing rack behind me and to see if she was still looking, but it turned out that she was on the cell phone talking to someone and, I guess, she was looking around for something for the person she was talking to.
She kept walking around the area where I was, but didn't pay attention to me so it was just a false alarm. I browsed around for a little while, then I remembered a GG friend mention to me that she had seen some bra inserts in the bra and lingere department. She recommended I check them out because they would definitely enhance the look of my chest so I went over to look for them. Again, there were other women browsing around, but nobody seemed to spot me. I looked until I finally found the bra inserts so I picked them up along with a nylon mess bag for washing my lingere.
There was nothing else I needed, so I walked up to a cashier to pay. When I came to the counter, the cashier was again courteous. She greeted me and I greeted her back while she began totalling up my things.
Once she gave me my total, I swiped my card, signed my name on the display, and then she handed me my reciept. She said to have a nice day and I said the same, then I left.
My last stop was to the Mall at Dillards.
I wanted to get a specific type Hanes pantyhose so I checked out the hosiey department and looked around at their selection. The area was rather quiet, except for a kid who kept messing with a misdirected motion sensor. It was located in a cashier booth and he kept waving his hand to make it beep constantly. The sound was getting so annoying that I was about ready to smack him with my purse.
However, I kept my cool and continued browsing until finally his mom called and he left.
I searched and I searched, but couldn't find the type I was looking for so then I went up stairs to browse the clothing department.
I browsed around and saw some really nice dresses and outfits, but they were a little pricey so I decided to wait until the next sale so I left.
Since, I had a little extra time before closing, I left Dillards and over to Victoria's Secret (My faaaavorite place) just a few stores down. There were other shoppers walking along the stores, but once again, nobody seemed to look at me funny.
Now, I have been to VS before, but only in male mode. This was the first time I had gone there in femme and I have to say it was a great experience. Again, the SAs where very courteous and friendly and they treated me with the same respect the last time I was there. What made it an even more enjoyable is that I did a lot more interaction which enabled me to practice my feminine voice, as well as my mannerisms and all.
As I was browsing the panty section, a SA came up and asked me if I needed any help. I told her that I was looking for a size XL for a particular colored panty and so she was nice enough to check the drawers underneath the display table. While she was searching, I also femininely squatted down, all the while, chit chatting with her as we searched. Once I found the size and color, I thanked her and then she said "No problem, just let me know if you need anything else". I had a handful of panties (5 for $25) so I asked if she could hold them for me, then she said that I can use one of their complementary shopping bags. She grabbed one and handed to me then I thanked her again and continued browsing.
One thing that caught my eye was their Pink brand of designer sleep and lounge wear. I like their styles so I found a nice white tee shirt with pink print and bright pink Pink sweat shorts. Then, I went over to the dressing room and asked another SA if I could try them on.
She was, again, courteous and even called me "Sweetie" as she showed me to an open room. She said that if need any help to let her know and I said I will.
I slipped off my skirt and my top and the put on the tee and the pink shorts. As soon as I checked myself in the mirror, I was hooked. I loved how it looked and so I was sold on it. This what they looked like.

After I changed back, I walked up to the cashier and gave her the panties, tee, and Pink pink sweat shorts.
Once again, the cashier was very courteous and asked if I found everything ok and I said "Yes". She then totalled up my things while I gave her my VS Angel card and a $10 off gift card. She noticed that the gift card was good during my birthday month and so she asked me what the date was. I told her and she pleasantly said "Well, happy birthday!". I said "thank you" and then she gave me my total. She asked for my ID and so I graciously took it out driver ID and presented it to her. She looked at it for a moment and said "OK" then handed me my receipt.
As the SA was bagging up everything, she noticed that the security tag on the tee was not one from their store and so she was not able to remove it. She then quickly determined that it was from another VS store, but for some reason it ended up at their store. She apologized and said that she would call that other store so that I can get another shirt from there, but I said not to bother and that I would just take a different shirt instead. So, I looked real quick and pulled another nice tee off the rack. Then, she proceeded to credit me for the other shirt. As she was doing that, she said that the shirt I picked was better since I didn't need too much pink which the other shirt had a lot of.
After she took care of crediting my Angel card, I signed my credit receipt, and then she handed me by bag.
She said to have a good night and I said the same then left.
Again, what a pleasureable shopping experience it was. Even though it was only for a few hours it seemed like an eternity.
To go out and get that kind of courtesy at a Victoria's Secret was a bonus and I can't wait to go back again.
Hope you all have had, or will have, a similar shopping experience.
Hugs!
