Thanks for all your replies, even Moncton Girl's, though I think you didn't get my point.
I have never fully dressed, even at home. I am not sure what, if anything, I will get out of it. I intend to try it, with my GF's help, just to see if it does antything for me, and because I'm curious as to how good I can do.
As far as the going out "half dressed" I find I like wearing a skirt and stockings at home, I want to experiment with how it feels out and about. I have taken a walk like this, and it feels more comfortable than pants or shorts. If I can do so without it turning into confrontations, then why not? I also want to be more colorful, I want to wear stuff that is a bit more spectacular than I'm used to. But I still want to be myself, not a female.
This is close to the look I have in my head.

The "problem" such as it is, with this forum, is that some of us don't understand that crossdressing is a very wide umbrella term. There are a thousand different reasons we do this thing. Yours isn't the only one. it isn't even the only one you'll have.
