I'm 62 years old now, and for my recent birthday, my wife surprised me with the best present ever... She said we were going to go out for a shopping day as two girls. Also, Ellie could get whatever she desired; clothes, shoes, handbags, anything...
May 2023 - A month before my birthday.
My wife knew I wanted a new wig for my birthday as my old one was getting old, and she had repaired it a couple of times.
She said that we would go to the salon - The Australian wig company - together and she would buy it for me. I stated I should go as Ellie, as I needed to see what it looked like. She was okay with that, although I didn't think it would happen.
On the Saturday before my Monday appointment, my wife was quite sick, and it turned out to be Covid. By Monday, it looked as if I would go on my own; she said no; she was coming and would wear a facemask. I phoned the salon to let them know, and they were fine with it.
After getting all made up and putting on my favourite red skirt-suit we headed off. Driving to the salon was fun. I've driven as Ellie a lot, but never with my wife in the car. It was great driving dressed as a girl and having girlish conversations about hair and makeup, etc.
At the salon, we were both treated as VIPs. they showed us to a private room for special attention. It was a thrilling day out for me - to be with my gorgeous wife and dressed as Ellie, talking to people who were so kind and considerate. I tried on several wigs but always came back to the first one I tried. It was very similar to my existing one, but a few inches longer. My wife decided that was the right one for me and purchased it.
When we got back to the car, she mentioned how she really enjoyed herself, suggesting that we stop off at a local shop to get something for dinner. I said, "But I'm dressed as Ellie!" Her response was, "So?" We dropped into the shops. Even though I was nervous that I might be over-dressed, no one paid us any attention. Just two girls doing some grocery shopping. I have frequently been shopping on my own, but it is much more fun sharing the experience with another.
A month later - My Birthday.
When the day finally arrived, I still wasn't sure if it would happen. Would my wife change her mind? I got up and made breakfast in bed for both of us. Then she said, "Well, the day has arrived. Are we going shopping?" I couldn't believe we were actually going to do it. I had an adverse reaction to covid, which caused my face to break out in a very red-bruised look with dry flaky patches. I wasn't supposed to wear makeup, but on this day, I was going to do my best makeup...
It took me a while to choose my dress. I wanted something really nice, but casual at the same time. I was going to wear heels but changed to sandals as my wife said I would regret wearing heels, and I thought she might be right.
Once we were both dressed and had our makeup on, it was time to head off in the car. It was wonderful to wind the window down and feel the wind in my hair, but the silkiness of my pantyhose was very distracting.
Arriving at the shops - There were people everywhere, and I expected my wife to call it off, but she was fantastic. We even linked arms as two girls would do. We went into her favourite clothes shop first and they welcomed us with a Good morning, ladies - which was nice. I tried on two dresses, though I didn't buy anything. The Sales ladies were fantastic and very polite. My wife bought some pants and a top. Actually, she bought more than me throughout the day, but it wasn't about buying things; it was about the experience.
The next stop was Portman's which is my favourite clothes shop. I used the changing room to try on a skirt. My wife brought me dresses and tops to try on. I came out of the changing room to show her each outfit, and we discussed what looked good and what didn't. The sales assistants were very helpful, too. I'm sure they never picked me for a guy. I've been in that store before, but never as Ellie, and I don't think they realised it.
As the day went on, we went for coffee, and I asked her how she was doing, and she said she was really enjoying herself; shopping with Ellie was more fun than with my male self. That was unexpected but very nice to hear.
After the coffee, we went to David Jones (See attached photo) which is an upmarket department store. There, I bought a matching lovely lace Bra/Panties and slip set. This was so much fun, and I was in heaven.
The excitement continued as my wife didn't want to go home just yet! She wanted to go to the Direct factory outlet (DFO) near Perth Airport. There are some great shops there, especially the lingerie and shoe shops. After shopping and feeling exhausted, we headed off home with lots of bags full of goodies. We celebrated the day with a bottle of wine.
Later, my wife kissed me and stated what a lovely time she had shopping with Ellie and would happily do it again.
What a great birthday it was! One of my best! It just goes to show that even when you get older, there are still things in life to look forward to. You never know what gifts life will present you with.
Thanks for reading...
Ellie
Congratulations! On both the birthday and the great gift. My wife accepting me this way would be a wonderful gift for me.
What a lovely story Ellie. You're wife is the G.O.A.T.(Greatest Of All Time). What a grand birthday outing.
I wish all the girls on here with spouse's could enjoy their dressed lives out together.
Oh, before I forget you look radiant in your posted photo!
I hope to hear more Ellie adventures.
Fran 🥰
@ellie52 that is a warming and exciting story for all of us who cannot give us the chance to do this.
The closest thing I've felt is going to shopping clothes to my wife, because I know that sooner or later I will wear that outfit in my "Odeth time". Hehe
@ellie52 Omg I love every word of that hun. That’s such a great time for you to share with your wife.
I would not have the nerve to go dressed up to all those places in female mode. And with your wife. What an understanding wife you have. My wife knows that I crossdress and her acceptance is that I can dress as a lady while she is sleeping and she sleeps late lucky me. There is no way in hell that she and I could go out as ladies and shop for ladies things. I do all my woman shopping on Amazon. You are very fortunate!!!
Thanks Alice. We all have boundaries we need to maintain to keep our loved ones happy. I understand I am very fortunate but we are all fortunate if we have life and health. Dressing is a small part of life and life can be beautiful for all of us.
So very true, "life and health" are key - and you ARE a fortunate person to realize it is so!
You are very right obviously on the life and health. I have had major health problems in the past, but have survived them. Now, my wife is going thru major stuff. Her mother passed away in July(made it to 92) and she has learned she has type 2 diabetes and cancer.She is being evaluated for surgery. I am 69 and not retired. Need to keep working to pay for everything plus I have to do everything for my wife as she is unable to do much. Very bad!!
What lovely birthday story Ellie, many of us would give anything to spend a day dressed with our wives. Lucky girl!
You look just stunning!
Ellie, what a wonderful article. Spending days out with your wife must have been a dream come true. I’m especially delighted that she enjoyed the experience and wants to do it again! Wishing you many equally happy birthdays and many, many more enjoyable days out with your wife!
Hi Kim - We have done it again since. We went to Rocky horror stage show with our friends last weekend and I spent the whole day as Ellie. It was a great day out.
@ellie52 Your story is so wonderful. I personally think you look like a natural and could easily blend in in public without any problem at all. You’re quite lovely as a matter of fact.
we recently had a rocky horror picture show live performance at a local theater here and I wanted so badly to go dressed up. Unfortunately, the same thing happened that happened with your wife. I ended up getting Covid and so did my son. We were all going to go together. maybe next time though. I’ve been out dressed up, but never full on. No make up or breast forms.
I always love seeing your pictures Ellie You’re fabulous ☺️

@juststevie Thank you so much Stephanie - that was a lovely message. I really appreciate what you wrote. Thank you so much
I recently went to a Rocky horror show at the crown Casino in Perth with my wife and another couple. I went dressed as Ellie and it was amazing. So much fun.
I have attached a photo of my dress for the Rocky horror show.
Thanks again - Ellie
That’s really lovely, Ellie. Hopefully that production will come back here and I’ll get to go to it. That would be really cool. I’m so glad you had a nice time.
Hey Ellie,
Happy belated birthday! How are you, girl? Pretty happy from what I see, here.
My wife & I used to have Girls Days Out, but she won't do it anymore. I think she saw that I enjoyed it too much & didn't want to encourage it. She's gone with me to try on & buy wigs. We've gone together for makeovers, manicures & pedicures, clothes & shoes shopping, lunch & dinner, movies & clubbing. You're right! It really is so much fun to share the experience. She was encouraging & seemed to enjoy it. She has also told me that it's much more enjoyable to go shopping with me because we can talk to each other like two women, trying on different things & getting each other's opinions. When shopping with "him", she feels like she's just dragging me along. I guess all I'll have, now, are memories of those GDOs.
Enjoy!
Dawn
Thanks Dawn. I sincerly hope your wife starts believing in Dawn again. As you say it can be great fun shopping with your partner. Ill keep wishing it for you and hopefully one day Itll come true.
That was one heck of a Birthday for you and one that will lead to another dimension in your relationship as it went so well. Your lovely wife realised advantages of being partnered to Ellie and moved into new boundaries. Lovely tale. Thank you.
Hi Angela, It was a very tiring but very enjoyable day. I never realised how hard it is shopping as a woman. Especially trying clothes on. I really needed that glass of wine when we got home.
Now that was a special birthday! Your wife sounds like the best present you could ever receive.
She certainly is Fiona. Weve been married 36 years now and Ive never regretted a single day of it. She is my life...
Ellie, I can’t begin to express how happy I am for you. I am so glad that you shared your special day with us. You and your wife have such a special bond it is an inspiration to us all. Most of us can only dream of such a relationship. I wish you two the best and many more happy birthdays.
Hugs
AnnaBeth
Thanks AnnaBeth. I really enjoyed sharing my adventure with you all. It was such a great day and a suprise to me that it actually went ahead. I was pretty sure it was going to get cancelled at the last minute but it did go ahead and Ill treasure the memories of it and the happiness I saw in my wifes face whilst we were shopping.
With a SO like that you KNOW you can conquer the world. You had a day 75% of us only dream could happen. Treasure her and love her EVERY day. Is the picture the new wig?
Thanks Lorraine - she is an angel isnt she .
No it wasnt my new wig, I hadnt managed to get it styled properly until recently. Real hair wigs have to be styled so I went to the salon earlier this month and It looks fabulous now.
I'm so jealous, your SO is a treasure to help you have such a wonderful day. Happy birthday..
Great article, Ellie, I could only dream of having a day like you had. As I’ve said before you have the best wife in the world, and I know you cherish her. I’m so happy you had such a wonderful birthday. I wonder what your wife may have planned for you next year, and better yet, what in the world can you plan for her to make your birthday as lovely for her as she has for you.
What can I plan for her...Thats a good point Jenn. Im really going to have to think hard on that one - Im sure itll have to include some pink diamonds Lol
Dear Ellie, Thanks for your wonderful article. That sure is a dream come true. Unfortunately, I have only had that pleasure to go out with my wife en femme only once so far. For you it sounds very much like it may happen again any time soon. Love, Franzi
Only once so far? That's surprising to read. I wonder what could move her to go out again,soon, with Franziska?Your photos are astoundingly femme. Captions / stories are to envy.
Dear @conniech, Thanks for your compliments and your encouragement to work towards another (or occasional) outings together with my wife. There are three reasons, I assume: in Frankfurt, my wife knows many people and we would likely run into somebody (which we are not ready to deal with, yet), travelling elsewhere is complex, but I had suggested before to make use of a planned weekend trip for a single day outing, she is afraid for me, every time I go out, due to an increasing number of cases of violence against trans people. Love, Franzi
Three right reasons for one outing with your wife. So sad the worsened violence , hatred and understandable fears. I do hope for you and your wife safety,health and lasting love! Connie
Ellie, Thank you for sharing your wonderful birthday story. I am happy for you and for your wife as well. And happy belated birthday with many more to come!
Ellie, such a beautiful tale told by a beautiful lady. So happy for you and your lifestyle with your truly wonderful wife, I'm jealous! .And, your home is lovely. You're truly blessed!
