Well, I'm not trying to pass for a woman (no wig, make-up etc) so I thought it was pretty normal. I agree that if I were out in fully Emily mode then using the feminine pronouns would be more...

Well, in the end today it was pretty overcast so I settled for winter florals instead. Wore this cute midi skirt and on impulse threw on these awesome ghilly heels - I've previously only worn them on...
This morning I woke up to an unexpectedly clear day, and a quick check of the weather forecast showed it would be sunny all day with highs of 8 degrees (that seems high right now after the awful...
Can we see the dresses? You have us all in suspense here...!
I'm really attached to my first dress, but oddly have never worn it out anywhere!
It's an evening gown so it needs a special occasion. But... every time a special occasion rolls around, I just...
I've had one full-on outing as Emily which was a blast. Unofficial aim is to do one a month now - I'm getting February sorted early with a bar crawl tomorrow!
I also wore skirts to work every day...
I think this really depends, but mostly I think I'd have to say "no".
Certainly not from the right picture - we tested it at uni when I wasn't out to many people and had just done my first...
Heh, I really like the "Hell and High Water thing - it's clever! When I first settled on "Emily" and had to set up an email account I didn't have a surname, so instead went for "emilyisonfire"...

It was this dress! I must have been about... 16, 17? I walked into town, into BHS and over to the dresses. I was so incredibly nervous! I didn't go far into the shop before I saw it - I...
Great post! I think, for me, it's been a gradual change in my perception of myself that's enabled me to dress how I like.
The first few times I was out in public I was extremely timid - I would...
I'm in software, so dress code is actually pretty relaxed for me. I used to always wear a t-shirt and jeans, but the balance has definitely shifted significantly in the last month or so..!
So this is kind of goofy, but I spent New Years amongst friends and wore a cute berry skirt from Next that I totally love. We went out for a walk through a nature reserve and then got down to the...
I've started doing exactly what you're talking about - it's still a bit early days but I'll let you know what I find. So far, being out and about in ankle boots hasn't caused much of a stir. The...
It's ok, I don't mind answering. Actually no, it isn't. I have some bras but I only wear them to support my forms when I'm going for 100% female presentation. I don't underdress at all - day to day I...
Whew, long post. Here goes... :eek:
I've always been a pretty open person, and in April last year I took a risk and turned up to one of our work parties as Emily. The company I work for is fairly...
So I've had a lot of significant breakthroughs in the past few weeks which I plan to share with you all at some point. It just requires me to find the time to sit and write it all down!
In the...
1. Since I moved into my own place about a month ago I probably dress 2-3 times a week, either in the evenings or on a lazy saturday/sunday when I'm not going anywhere. I haven't gone out at all...
Was really glad to read this on your blog - glad it went so well for you! :D
A little over a week ago I had an amazing time out for the second time ever as Emily. It was a day of firsts, with my SO not only seeing me fully en femme for the first time but also coming with me...
I found I got more nervous the night before I was going out than on the day itself. I found it very reassuring to know that I was going with a good friend and that we could always get back in the car...
Haha, this made me laugh! It was a really cute dress though... :(
Thanks for the kind words everyone! And thanks to those advising caution/taking it slow too... never hurts to have someone to...
Amazing story, sounds like so much fun! You look great in that picture, can't wait to hear about the next time!
The last few days have been really amazing for me, and have marked some real milestones in my SO's acceptance. It started when I found out via twitter about a sale on boohoo, and having decided to...
I'm around 6ft so taller than the average GG, and it's a shame because I really love heels but don't want to draw attention to myself when I'm out and about!
I have a GG friend who's around my...
I have to agree with Rachel with her views on your blog - you just gained a new follower in me!
Are there any particular looks you've always wanted to try but never got around to going for? For...
