I'm very new to this, but I'm overwhelmed by all there is to learn.
I've had an on-again/off-again interest in wearing panties since childhood. But when I recently started farther down this journey, I sort of had the idea that,if I put on panties, a padded bra, a blouse or sweater, skirt, and high-heels, that I was cross dressing.
But I'm beginning to see all the other aspects to it.
- Wigs/hair style - I've thought about just growing mine out, but a) it's now short - typical male length - and would take forever to grow out b) I have a touch of male pattern baldness , and c) the gray color is not really attractive
- Makeup - Where to begin? I haven't even figured out if my skin tone is warm, cool, or neutral.
- Color co-ordination - as a male, I have half a dozen pairs of gray or black slacks. I pick one of them, pick any one of a dozen different dress shirts, put on my black loafers and I'm done. But the myriad of choices in women's color, patterns, styles, etc. makes my head spin
- Accessories - purses, jewelry, shoes. Do my shoes go with my outfit? Does my purse match my shoes? What jewelry to wear? Other than my wedding ring, I have very rarely worn jewelry all my life.
- Mannerisms - walking, sitting, gesturing, etc.
- Voice - that one is going to be a hard one for me.
But at the same time that it's overwhelming, having the choices is exciting.
