I went out again.....sorta. I wore this dress with a nice beige boucle sweater (coz it's chilly outside!). I think they go real well together. It wasn't much, just a trip to the local goodwill. I purged myself of about ten dresses that really didn't fit me well. All of them were pretty enough, just not quite big enough. I didn't really wear them all that much, and most of the ones that actually fit me well I can't bear to part with.
So I got all dressed up, made myself pretty, and drove a bag of rather nice ladies clothing down to the Goodwill store. I pulled up to the back of the store where they take in the goodies. There were a couple of young men working back there. I didn't really say much, lest my voice be a dead give away, but I asked one of them to get the bag of clothing out of my back seat, and he murmered "Thank you, ma'am," opened my rear door, and got the bag o'dresses out of my back seat.
I got "ma'am" 'd!
I'm pretty sure they clocked me, or at least figured it out shortly after I left, but I think one of the keys to getting out and about is learning not to care about what you fear everyone is thinking about you.
So it's no real big deal, just a trip in the car at mid-day. Hey, it ain't flying, but it still counts! I had fun, and I was out in the world as a lady.
And I liked it.
