Today was my last day of work! After almost four decades.
I went around the building and said goodbye to everyone!
I wore a red golf polo with white polka dots. A pink printed skirt falling just below the knee.
Cheveron sheer thigh highs. Translucent pink nail polish. A pink and white golf jacket. A multi-color bezel crystal bracelet.
One GG complimented me on the outfit. I typically had one long conversation per department, with others listening in.

Your outfit sounds beautiful, Marion. Happy retirement.
What a wonderful way to celebrate. Congratulations!
If only our families and friends could be as supportive as our bras!
Marion, congrats on retirement! I only lasted 55 days from the day I retired to finding something new to do, please keep us updated on your adventures!
Congratulations on your retirement and outfit! You look too young to retire. Take care, Brenda
I forgot to mention the black leather ankle booties and the distinctive sound they make on linoleum floors! I wear them all the time!
Yes, I look younger than many of the folks I talked to, with the notable exception of a young editor who is one year into her first job.
We had a ten minute discussion about how difficult it is to balance work and other activities.
I already have a huge garden to take care of that has turned into a nesting area for lots of birds!
I found that with a few exceptions, most of the Connecticut state parks had very few birds.
Now I just have to look out into the yard to see a wide variety of birds.
Next week should be great with the temperatures forecast to be in the 70s, perhaps into the 80s.
I spent the last two summers learning to play golf. I got fitted for new clubs last summer.
I'm tiny so I'm a bit lacking in distance, but I enjoy figuring out and making difficult golf shots.
I think all my life and work experience that allows me to enjoy playing golf.
A few months ago we hired a big girl who doesn't pass but she doesn't care about that since she is finally in a Happy Place.
I did a slow transition at work starting in 2018. She took a selfie of us standing side by side.

Congratulations Marion! I hope retirement is everything you hope it to be and more!
Connecticut!!! I didn't know! How it miss it so...
I'm planning on doing something similar when I retire. My workplace is, on paper, accepting. Reality? Well, we have hundreds of employees and not a single one has ever come to work presenting. I've never been able to talk to anyone about it at work (for obvious reasons) but my feeling from what I get is that it's not really an accepting environment. I'm going to say something along the lines of "I've worked closely with all of you for more than 10 years, and I'm here now because I did good enough work to stay here. Yet, if I had crossdressed you probably would have fired me. Too late now!"
Congratulations Marion! I hope you have a wonderful retirement and I can tell you that after you are retired for a few weeks you will be so busy with so many things. My wife got me into exercising and it is wonderful on so many levels.
I am sure you will do well, I am very happy for you!

Happy retirement.
You know you can hit off the women's tees, right?
If your not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.
Congratulations, both on your retirement and for going out in style!
Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.

Welcome to retirement, Marion.
May it be a long and fruitful and happy one!
I'm impressed by your interest in birds.
Best wishes in the next chapter of your life
Marion,
I can testify that the saying that once you retire you wonder how you ever found time to go to work is true.
If nothing else, finances permitting ,it's a big country you live in and a bigger world. Since retirement my SO and I have discovered many wonderful towns and villages, countryside to explore even in little ol' UK.
Congratulations, Marion. It is a milestone to achieve that level and I wish you all the best. That said, retirement is still a bit of an adjustment to a new lifestyle. I suggest you ease yourself into it; don't build a wall behind you but stay connected with those who you developed relationships with, even if you decide to move to another place on the planet and start a new life.
But most of all have fun and enjoy the freedom to be yourself in a more complete way. Dear, you earned it!!!
Congratulations, Marion. It sounds like you have the "staying active" part covered, but having all this new, unstructured time is a game changer, so stay aware of it. I found myself back in a part time job within six weeks of retiring. It was a fun job so I kept it for a few years.
Now that I'm fully retired I keep a "to do" list of 5 things every day. If I get to them, I get to them. If I don't, I don't. But it gives the day a little structure, and I'm never bored.
And Thanks, Marion, for representing our sisterhood in the work place in an obviously positive way.
Above all, Stay out of the rough. Enjoy!
I am a vessel of the goddess. Let me express my calling to a feminine life through nurturing love and relatedness.
Yes congratulations on making it to retirement. That has to be a huge change, and sounds like you are ready for it.

Congratulations, Marion! I hope you enjoy the next amazing phase of your life to the max!
Hugs! Shawna
Life is too short to wear ugly panties!
Hon, update your age in your profile. Only 4 decades? Slacker.
Don't go golfing. Even though I had the correct wacking stick, I've never seen one come up out of that hole.
Total waste of time. Speaking of time, you will forget what day it is. You might still get up early but, that's just to enjoy the mornings you missed.
Hopefully, if your work defined you, you'll cherish the memory and enjoy the new life it brought to you.
I've waited so long for this time. Makeup is so frustrating. Shaking hands and I look so old. This was a mistake.
My new maid's outfit is cute. Sure fits tight.
And then I step into the bedroom and in the mirror, I see a beautiful woman looking back at me.
Smile, Honey! You look fabulous!
Wonderful news! Sounds like you won't be board. There is peace and pleasure in the garden to enjoy.
Enjoy your retirement. Working at the same job for forty years almost seems like a length of employment that is a thing of the past.
Congratulations on our retirement Marion. Enjoy!
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
Marion,
Congratulations on retirement. I've been told by retirees that every day becomes a Saturday. I cannot speak from experience yet, have at least one more decade to go.
I am just a guy who enjoys wearing women's clothing and there is nothing wrong with that.
Your outfit sounds really cute ...........would really like to see a picture. Good for you on your retirement, best of luck in all your endevers and have fun playing golf........................Debra
Hi Marion,
Congrats on your retirement. You outfit sounds pretty.

Because life is too short not to.
It's ironic ... I finally found a group of guys I fit in with. Funny how they all enjoy being one of the girls.
Wife: Why do you fold your panties? Me: I don't like my panties in a wad!
Congratulations on your retirement. Your best days lie ahead. I'm glad to hear you planned for retirement by starting to learn the game of golf in advance. As you know, there is more to it than just hitting a little white ball. And, as Nancy mentioned, be sure to hit from the women's tees. That's what all the girls do.
It's never too late to enjoy a happy childhood.
Live each day as though it's your last 'cause one day you'll be right.
I'm finding the more feminine side of me...and I ❤️ this adventure.
