Let me see.
Dress up as if I am going out in public
(Sub-point: I might hang around the apartment dressed up and in six inch heels, but those can change since I do not normally go out in six inch heels)
I never use anything belonging to my wife unless she says it is alright. Only things I can actually use of hers are shoes and makeup, but I have enough of my own.
Improve every time I dress up.
There is probably more, just cannot think of anymore at the moment.
:)
My golden rule is "STAY OUT OF THE PINK FOG!"
It's so easy to get wrapped up in "gear up" mode and get absolutely out of control in attitude and spending..
I so want to go to eBay and get TWO coach crossbody bags, black and brown.. sensible shoes, some fantastic silver and Jade jewelry, Bohol lace dresses and light pink lipstick..
But no.. stay easy my friend.. small town, you aren't really going outside..
1 I under dress
2 I costume it up when Violet is invited over to play.
I don't overdo it, I'll go broke.
1) I have my own stuff but she has used a waist cinched or two
2) Don't keep secrets, tell her so she wont think anything crazy
3) When you dress enjoy it for everything it is
I agree. Don't over do it especially with your makeup. Watch pro videos on how to apply all different types of makeup. Don't look like a hooker or guy in drag. Try your best to look so much like a real girl that nobody can tell you are a guy in girl's clothes. They can't tell I am anything close to a guy when I'm dressed up. Maybe try to improve a little bit more every time you dress up. Act like a girl when you are dressed and walk like a girl too and don't over do the walk. Make it look natural which is very easy to do when wearing riding or slouch boots. The heals aren't high and easy to walk in. Have fun and enjoy being a girl for a short while!

Super tips, Lana....Scarlett
Here are my top 10
1. If dressing to go out - dress to blend in
2. Sexy underwear maybe be nice to wear in, but its probably not the best for going out
3. Passing is NOT important looking and feeling good IS
4. Dress in your own decade - ie forget those micro mini's if your 50
5. If you are going to have one expensive item of female attire make it a wig AKA don't go out in a cheap wig
6. If you wear stick on nails make sure you have accounted for all 10 before you go home
7. If you paint your nails, no matter how carefully you remove the polish there WILL be spots the next day
8. If you are close to 6 feet tall don't wear 6" heels out
9. Buy yourself a black long cardigan, every girl needs one
10. Who cares what strangers think
Sound advice. I did it once, not driving, just went for a walk and while it turned out ok it could have gone horribly wrong.Quote:

3 Dress you age. If you're that bit older (mature) you can still dress to achieve a stylish look.
4 If you want to be a "successful" CD'er, observe what the GG's wear.
5 Make sure you fulful your CD'ing dreams. If you want to someday go out in public, find the reason to do it, not the reason not to. You don't want to be on your death bed thinking, "I wish I'd done...."
Now that I'm open to my wife, and my clothes are easily accessible, I no longer wear any of my wife's clothing. I always underdress, but am restricted to dressing if the grandkids aren't around (my daughter's rule). I listen to the comments my wife makes about my clothing and dress accordingly because she's been a woman a lot longer than me. I also do my own washing of my clothes, letting her wash my male clothes only. I won't ever be able to 'outdress' her, but I do dress up much more fancy than she does at home.
Diane,
The rule at the top of my list is give yourself enough time for nail polish, since my outings in January I have manged only once not to mess them up. I've ended up with strange marks on underwear when I've needed to go to the toilet and smudges on my steering wheel and seat belts when I've just had to go.
I don't use my wife's clothes anymore apart from things she given me, I prefer my own style now.
I don't underdress as much since going out, it's getting to the point of all or nothing.
When getting ready I'm bare chested in drab and after a close shave it's always makeup first, then underwear, the clothes I've picked which are usually washed and ironed a week before. Next jewellery and then a final brush through before the wig goes on , I then check everything out in the mirror and finally slip the shoes on.
Then it's time for the clean up and any evidence, my wife knows but it's only courtesy not to upset her.
When buying things make sure those sneaky little receipts don't creep out and hide from you but suddenly appear in front of the wife, how many have had that happen ??
Don't use a joint credit card if you are trying to hide your purchases , that one is now sorted I have my agreed allowance in a separate account .
Remember that you are you, and there is no one else who holds your unique attributes; you’re so irreplaceably valuable to the world...
Only one. Enjoy it.
Thanks everyone, I didn't think this thread was still running!!! Teresa, only ever used nail polish a half dozen times or less, never very successfully, might invest in some stick-on ones one day! and only pay cash for clothes and shoes I buy and VERY careful with receipts!
Let's see...
1. buy and wear my own clothes
2. try to dress to blend when going out(ie no high heels and tight dress during the daytime)
3. try to improve my dressing by observing GGs and emulating them as opposed to other CDs
Golden rule...be a lady and don't bring shame on the whole of crossdressing and TGs. I went to a girls night out in public in Raleigh. Left early because of theactions of some of the sisters. Em
