Since the summer I think I have had a permanent shift in my approach to my dressing. Prior to then I was very limited in my opportunities and wardrobe so was confined to mostly underdressing. In August, I had my first serious shopping trip for Mercedes in years and since then have been wearing my new clothes on a more regular basis. I was thinking I was just in the pink fog, but I think now, five months later, I have instead taken a step to allowing Mercedes more into my daily being.

Since the summer I have been wearing panties everyday. Thanks to the post about the number panties everyone owns, I had to up my game and since then have bought many more and most are comfortable for a full day, however I am sucker for thongs. And with this, my spouse has seen me in panties a lot more than she had previously. As well, I have been wearing bras, nightgowns and other fun things to bed nearly every night.

As I type this, I am currently wearing my black silk top, black mini-skirt and black opaque nylons. I also have some breast lifts in to fill out a small bustier, probably a 'b' cup. No make-up or wig. The family was all out for the day so I had an opportunity to be dressed for several hours. I knew my spouse would be on her way home and I decided to stay dressed. Over the last few months she has seen me dressed a couple of times so when she saw me today, there were no comments or looks. We talked about her day out like nothing was different. It was kind of nice. A few minutes later, I went to her and wanted to find out how she was feeling about my recent dressing.

I started by saying the obvious, that I was feeling like dressing more and I assume she had noticed. I also asked, more importantly, how she was feeling about it. Well, I was happy to hear that she was not bothered per se, more that her approach is still in the ignore, avoid, try not to think about it kind of attitude. However, she did say that she does not have a problem with me dressing in front of her. I also asked if she wanted me to provide a heads up prior to dressing when she might see me and she said she didn't need it. She did say that she would have more of an issue with make-up and wigs. I did say that I would like to be able to wear make-up more often, it just is not practical currently. So for this I will be sure to respect her boundaries. I thanked her for her understanding and she said, I did not need to thank her. That comment felt like recognition of that part of myself and Mercedes and in her own way there is acceptance. I then kissed her and thanked her again.

The conversation may have been a total of 3-4 minutes. That was all, and it made me feel so much relief that Mercedes could feel more at home in her own home.

As an aside, shortly after the talk, we had a normal conversation about the mail and the birds in the back yard. I was dressed, it was no big deal.

If you stayed to the end, thank you for reading,

Mercedes XOXOXO
