The other night I was wearing just a simple tee shirt dress while making dinner for my wife and me. Nothing fancy but comfortable. Afterwards I had to go out to our barn to take care of some th it?s but it was cold so I put a winter jacket over it. In retrospect , a frumpy look. My wife looked at me and laughed and said ?you look like an old lady?. I supposed I did and responded ?that?s not what I was going for, but I guess that?s ultimately the goal?. Kind of funny, thought I?d share.
Cute story thanks for sharing.
You're fortunate to have a wife that you can be femme around even if it is a "frumpy" look. If one thinks about it women do not dress to the nines all the time. It rarely gets very cold in my area, so the heat is off at night. I turn the heat up to get rid of the chill in the morning. If my wife happens to get up early which is a rare occurrence, she'll roam around the house in PJ bottoms, graphic t-shirt and hooded sweat shirt. We're in our seventies and look like it.

Calling bigotry an "opinion" is like calling arsenic a "flavor".
Not a bad comment at all, just an honest observation which is more then ok

Comfy doesn't have to mean Old.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
At this stage in my life, I had better be satisfied with looking like an old lady, frumpy or otherwise.

I'm in my 60's...and just happy to be a "60's woman!
Life is too short to wear ugly panties!
Thanks for reminding me, Mermaiden! Why I either dress all the way or not at all.
After the kinky thrill of wearing just nylons, and/or girdles, and/or forms wore off, I didn't like the way I looked part way dressed!
That's when I quit just throwing women's things on. If I can't look like an attractive woman? I mite as well be a comfortably dressed man! And, he can look as sloppy as he likes without me caring!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
I am in my mid 70s and guess I look that way in male or female clothes.

Good that the two of you can have some fun with it, priceless. I often sleep in a tee shirt dress and sitting around in the evening watching TV with it on, very comfy.
While it is not uncommon for younger folks to make fun of older folks, the older we get, the more we value being "old". Many don't get the privilege of being old.
That said, when I dress as a "lady", I can't help looking like an "old lady". That's because I am old.

I love it! Yes, I like looking nice when I go out, but after it dawned on me that women don't feel beautiful all the time, pulling on a pair of sweats and a T-shirt and skipping the makeup sort of fills the need to achieve realism, too.

One of the (many) pleasant aspects I have discovered in my transition as an older woman is just being a EVERYDAY woman. Many days, especially on weekends, it is just jeans and a t-shirt or sweats. A little mascara and lipstick, and I am out the door!
