I've been CDing most of my life much of it fitted in opportune moments, no thought of putting outfits together and usually coming to a sexual ending and the ensuing shame and guilt !
Much of this changed when I came out to my wife in my forties, ( I submitted a thread a while ago asking why so many come out in their forties .) I felt much freer and started to buy my own underwear, but was still happy to share my wife's clothes, which is part of my CDing needs , heels were more of a problem and I began to enjoy makeup.
The coming out was fairly short lived, the freedom I thought I had evaporated into a DADT situation, so it's taken till now and the realisation that CDing is for life that I've made things happen ! Shaving legs and buying heels made me realise I could look OK, I feel I want to play catch up with all the lost years ! So should I just accept my age and act it or do I resent my age and say what the hell and go for it while I can ?
Members who have consistently dressed may not have this problem and will probably tell me to act my age ! Is there really no fool like an old fool ?
