On April 15th I went to the JC Penney optical dept and had a complete eye exam and ordered three new pairs of glasses. I selected one male frame and two very cute femme frames. When the optical tech asked me who the femme frames were for, I told her they were for me. I told her that I was a crossdresser and I needed the feminine frames to complete my look. Oh, I forgot to mention, I was in drab when all this happened. The tech was very helpful with my selection of frames and was also curious about my lifestyle. I told her that I might be en femme when I came to pick up my new glasses.
Today (Apr 24th) I went to Penneys to pick them up. Being a beautiful warm spring day, I dressed in a pair of girl jeans, a red top over a black cami, and a pair of black suede wedgies. I entered the mall through another major department store, did some browsing in the cosmetics department, then continued on into the central mall until I came to Penney's. I had to walk to the back of the store to get to the optical dept, past SAs and other shoppers.
The optical tech recognized me when I told her who I was, and she flashed me a big smile when she saw how I was dressed. Again, she was very helpful, making sure the new frames fit comfortably and complimented me on how the femme glasses and sunglasses looked on me. I was elated I wore my new femme glasses out of the store and decided to go to a few other stores just to browse. I must have blended in quite well because nobody in any of the stores saw me as anything but a woman.
I had a bite to eat in the food court and had to walk half way through the mall to get back to my car. I think I might have been read by one woman who I made eye contact with, but other than that, I spent about two and a half hours at the mall without so much as a sideways glance from anybody. I want to tell myself that it was my new glasses that helped me pass. I drove home wearing the new femme sunglasses and happy that I got them because now my femme look is complete. It has really been a great day.
