My baby (age 16 and 6' tall) needed new jeans so we went shopping. I wore full butt/hip padding to present a proper silhouette.

We started with a buffet brunch, then to our local upscale shopping mall where she got 3 pairs of shoes (size 12W) at Lane Bryant, then we each picked up a pair at Payless. Next to a discount retail store where she picked up two fleece jackets and I got jeans, slacks and a strapless bra. Then to the nearby discount grocery. My knees were achy after 4 hours on my feet so I sent her inside Old Navy by herself to get her tall size jeans.

I've been living full-time as female for 5 weeks and am very comfy in public by myself. It was great to have another tall gal with me. We will likely do a transparent & daughter shopping trip at least every month.

For those who wonder, I hear "sir" a lot when out without bottom padding but am almost always treated as female when I wear it.
