I booked today off from work because I expected to be travelling out of town for my grandsons hockey tournament, those plans fell through so I decided to make this a Karen day. This morning I planned on going out dressed in broad daylight. I've been out for a drive dressed before but always leaving just before full dark. I had trouble doing my makeup because I was so nervous. I did my makeup not sure what's appropriate for the daytime. I went with a light eye shadow ,eye liner and mascara instead of false lashes, and red matte lipstick. I checked out front before leaving and as I was going to my car the neighbor lady across the street pulled into her driveway. She's seen me getting into my car dressed before as a brunette ,today if she looked she would have seen a blonde getting into my car. I drove to a neighboring city and cruised the main street, lots of people on the sidewalks no one taking notice. I drove to a small plaza just outside of the city parked with no one near me got out and as I was standing by the car a young lady pulled in 2 spaces from me I pulled my phone from my purse and acted like I was on a call and she just walked past me on her errand. I walked in my sensible shoes (no heels on this outing)to the end of the row and stood there watching cars and people pass going about their business totally ignored. I know I can't pass but I think I looked great today. Got back in the car and drove to the mall where I live. Again I parked far away from the entrance and walked to the end of my row and even went up to the doors but didn't go in. I saw lots of women and a few men in the parking lot and none looked my way twice if at all. Don't know what the great fear was but it's now gone. Looking forward to my next midday journey. I plan to actually enter a mall dressed though I don't think it will be my local one, I'll drive to a nearby city. I'm told the more you do something the easier it gets. One giant leap for Karen.
