So earlier in the year I responded to a question that asked about goals we wanted to achieve in 2017. I think its time we had a review.
One of mine was to try on a dress while out dressed. I'd previously shopped as Lucy for shoes and had tried on a dress (quickly for size) while in Bob mode but this was a bigger deal as it involved taking things off and risked upsetting wigs and showing off forms etc. I though i'd share how I got on.
A couple of weeks ago I had to travel away from home for a conference and thought I'd do so as Lucy. I had a five hour drive so thought I'd break midway for coffee and do some shopping. I stopped at a nice out of town location not far off a motorway and visited a couple of shops to buy some new eye make-up and have a look around before having a drink. It was then time to try on something new. I was wearing a lovely linen dress and some flat sandals with a little bolero cardigan so didn't feel it would be as bad as pulling off tight jeans but was still slightly nervous, the things we fuss about. Anyway I went to a UK store called Phase 8 which has a very nice selection of pretty dresses and looked around slowly considering what would work well on me. I decided on 3 dresses and picked them off the racks. A very helpful sales assistant asked me if I'd like them putting in the changing room and took them from me while I checked a few more things but then I went back to try them on. Well the sky didn't come crashing down and I was able to admire the clothes with the benefit of seeing the fit and colours against my skin tone. Interestingly I bought the one that was my second favorite prior to trying them on. As I paid the lovely assistant asked me if I was buying the dress for a special occasion, I think she though I was attending a wedding. (2018 maybe).
So have any of you ticked off goals already and have stories to share.
