I did it! I went out for the first time yesterday. I drove an hour through the rain into Boston for a get-together and clothing sale. I almost chickened out in the parking lot, and would have been disappointed with myself if I had.

I dressed to blend. Jeans, cowlneck sweater, riding boots, wool coat. I was so nervous just walking through the parking lot and building, but everyone made me feel welcome. Thank you to Scarlett and Natasha and Tabitha for hosting. It was wonderful to finally meet other 'dressers like myself. Thank you to Sarah for making me feel comfortable, and the rest of the ladies too, (sorry I don't remember names very well).

You all made me feel so full of confidence that I stopped by a mall (a few towns away from home) and took a stroll through. Saturday afternoon during the the busy Christmas season and no one took any real notice of me!

(I'm going to try to put a few pics up in the picture forum soon)
