Yesterday I went shopping for Karen ,not as Karen (not ready to shop dressed yet ) and picked up a few things for my New Years celebration en femme. I bought a new bra a nice bracelet and necklace, earrings and pair of heels, I have no problem buying heels in drab. When I got home my son who has seen me as Karen was on his way out and let me know he would be back later with his girlfriend.( she doesn't know about Karen). I wanted to try the new bra and heels on but knew I didn't have the time needed to do it the way I would like -fully dressed with makeup and wig so I put on the bra with my forms pulled a t-shirt on stepped into the heels still wearing my jeans threw a wig on and clipped on the new earrings. It felt so odd ,I didn't get the usual feelings of joy I get when I'm all dolled up. All that was missing was makeup, stockings and a dress but it felt so disappointing .For me it's all or nothing there's no satisfaction in going partway.
