To stay c/d ?

Years ago, when I was living overseas and my opportunities for dressing were much more limited than my situation today, it would be depressing to have to put away my femme things. Today, however, I can dress up and go out just about any day I want to. Each month now, I will usually spend two full days a month enfemme plus one or two other evenings out. With my current situation, it really doesn't bother me at all to go back to guy mode as I know I can choose whenever I want to appear as Phoebe. Also now I never dress just to hang around the house. If I go to the trouble to transform to Phoebe, I am going to be out and about in the world.

I have come to the point in my life where the clothes are not that important to me. I am Melanie no matter what I am wearing. I am able to be my male self when it is necessary. I do find that when I am traveling for weeks and have no male clothes with me that having to put on the makeup and feminine clothing sometimes is a pain. I find that I am now dressing down in more casual clothes as I see 90% of all women in the public. Recently I was at a concert where I noted that 9 out of 10 women were wearing pants. Being in a dress I stood out since most noticed that I was dressed different than the other women.

Hi Angie, she of the interesting questions. :happy:

I'm finding it's rare that I ever go ENTIRELY back to male mode now. I do operate in my daily life as male, but internally I'm still who I am despite what I am wearing, and it's not who I thought I was or used to be. Part of it, sure, but my femme self has been given a key to the apartment. :heehee:

So I like to keep little 'reminders' - kind of like 'triggers', whenever I can. The only exception is if I feel I absolutely can't afford to have it discovered or if the femme bits get in the way of work, etc.

Otherwise, besides undercover, I'm keeping a nail painted, or lips glossed, or a bit of eyeshadow, pretty scent, jewellry...little reminders that I'm not just a guy. Because I'm not. :happy:

Right now I'm starting a new job, in the training process. All Male those hours.

Virtually all my other time is suddenly free these last months.
The amount of time I spend dressed is rapidly increasing to include whole weekends.
And I'm just getting started... I'm a little overwhelmed wondering where this will lead.

I share a house, with a landlady, and only dress, when she is at a doctor, or dentist appt. She is a homebody, never leaves, unless it is necessary, so, I must hurry, when she is gone, and dress, take photos quickly. Yesterday, she got home early, and, I had to undress, at the speeed of light. I did forget, and left some ladies sunglasses out in the living room, and she found them. I told her I had bought them for her a few years ago, lost them, and found them, that day, which was true. I did not say I wore them. I wish I could stay dressed, for hours, but, almost never get the chance, unless I go to a motel. I am more comfortable, bored, in drab, in ecstasty dressed up!

I am very reluctant to change out of my feminine clothes. I feel so good when I am all dressed and am sad when the time comes to remove them and put on drab. I do sometimes leave my underwear on under my male clothes to ease the situation.

Ty you all for your posts :hugs: think alot of it boils down to the "time" you have to dress also, seems theres alot of restrictions as to when /where you can dress :o
ty again :love:

I have a lot of time to dress and do so daily. But yet, I hate getting back to full male mode. I try to stay outta it for days if I can. That don't work to well most times.
