I don't do girl. I do femme man. Yesterday i had a therapy session and have been going dressed on the femme side of androgyny to my sessions for a while now. I use the opportunity to do a bit of exposure therapy by stopping by a coffee shop close to the therapist's office and going inside dressed in something femme. Yesterday, i went in in a fairly stealth mode with my femme top covered by an oversized sweatshirt. But, for that trip I decided to just own the pearls I was wearing and pulled them from under the sweatshirt collar. I was also wearing some overdone eyeshadow and mascara (I didn't realize how overdone the eyeshadow was until after the fact). Oh well...
I was wearing women's black skinny jeans with black knee highs and an ankle bracelet. Definitely not over the top, but definitely not typical male. I get to the counter and a twenty-something male barista took my order. As I was paying he told me "I love the pearls. You're really rocking them." It made my day.
