An update to my story.
As the weeks have gone the desire has grown to go dressed in public. I've wanted to walk out of the shops wearing clothes I've just bought but wasn't quite ready. Yesterday I did it!
In a major shopping centre I went into one particular shop and the lovely SA had me try on just about everything in the store. I fell in love with a skirt and top combo. I was already wearing a bra and carrying some lovely shoes with me, so I put them on while I paraded in the outfits in the big mirror outside the change rooms. I told the SA that I really wanted to walk out of the shop dressed up. She said "why not, just do it".
After about 5 minutes of nervous shaking it was time to bite the bullet. I purchased the items. She took the tags and made the sale and I walked out into the shopping centre faking confidence while inwardly terrified.

Here was this obvious man head sticking out of a skirt and top with prominent breasts. I wanted to rush back to the car but forced myself to keep window shopping. There were a few odd looks but no drama. I littls while later I walked past a shop that had wigs. Went in and tried a few on and bought the one that suited me best. Now I could walk around with a little more confidence. Still a man on close inspection but not so obvious now.

From here I thought "why not go the whole way?" and found a nail salon. Got some press on nails applied and painted a lovely red shade. Now we were cooking! Into a beauty shop then for some matching lippy. Hmmm, how am I going to apply this? That led to my first visit into that forbidden world of the female toilets. Standing there at the mirror applying the lippy with ladies washing up beside me. What an experience.

I then spent the next couple of hours in full female mode and didn't care who took a second look. So liberating and exhilarating.

The pink fog hit badly though. Spent hundreds of dollars to get the look, but the good thing is that I now have all I need so shouldn't need to shop much any more.

So glad to have met this side of myself.
