A weekend of firsts. The best weekend ever.
Wow, I have just had an amazing 24 hours.
Went to a trans social / support evening, I have attended twice before with my amazing wife.
It has been a 24 hours of firsts for me.
I drove there dressed, full make up and wig, wearing tight blue jeans with a grey roll neck pullover, cow girl style ankle boots. It was a 2 hour drive and even stopped along the way in a lay by to add screen wash to the car. I felt amazing driving whilst fully en femme, no nerves at all.
We set off early and arrived in the town 3 hours early so decided to go visit the shops, another first for me, we parked in a multi story car park on the 3rd floor, nerves kicked in as soon as I exited the car, I put on a long padded coat as it was very cold and headed towards the lifts / staircase. My wife reassuring me telling me I looked great and not to worry.
Once at the lift, I panicked and decided to take the stairs instead. It was a town I had never visited before so I was not sure of my surroundings.
At the foot of the stairs was a narrow street which lead directly to the high street, we walked past lots of people and I was so self conscious, constantly monitoring all the faces walking towards me to see their reactions. There was not any, not a second look or even a grimace. As we walked further my confidence grew, we walked what seemed like an age before my wife suggested we went into a store called river island, there was a sale on and it was a bit of a relief to be off the high street and into a womens store, once inside we checked out all the sale rails looking up occasionally at ladies walking by, again, no second looks or awkward feelings.
I did not find anything in the store so we exited back into the high street. More confident and with a bit of a spring in my step we browsed more shops before heading to Marks and Spencers where I found a nice peach pullover and a lovely denim skirt. My wife went to the tills to pay as I wasn?t quite ready for that yet.
We strolled around a few more shops before heading back to the car.
Once back at the car a huge wave of emotions ran through me. I did it, I felt on top of the world. I was buzzing inside.
We made our way to the hotel.
We arrived at the hotel 1 hour prior to check in so headed straight to the bar, another first for me, visiting the hotel bar fully dressed. I swapped the long padded jcoat for a woolen poncho. We met some other couples there that were attending that evening, I was the only one dressed. The staff made us feel welcome and no strange looks from other hotel guests.
By now my confidence was sky high, we ate lunch, shared a bottle of Prosecco then checked in and headed to our room.
A long soak, shave, fresh make up and a change of outfits ready for the evening meeting, I wore a grey above knee dress with black tights / pantyhose and grey stillettoed ankle boots. Jewelry to match. The event was a celebration of the groups birthday, so the meet was a birthday party theme, lots of wine consumed and met new friends. feet sore from dancing all night and having so much fun. We headed back to our room at 1am.
Next morning was another first for me as we headed down for breakfast again fully dressed, this time in trousers and the new peach woolen pullover I had bought the day before, we sat with some others from the group, had a few coffees a full breakfast and chatted about our respective drive homes.
I packed the car and again drove home fully dressed stopping at a Starbucks drive through enroute, served by a young guy who asked how my day was and was especially nice to me, I felt sooo good and very proud of myself. We continued the journey home and with a smile on my face that will take a long long time to remove.
Thanks for taking time to read about my adventure.
Hope you like it
