first time crossdressed in a store

Congratulations on your first outing, Patty. Each succeeding outing will be easier, as you discover that everyone is to wrapped up in themselves to really look at you. Next time, make a purchase; you will find that easy to do, also.

Hugs,
Bettylou

Yay!! Go Patty 😀💕

Well done Patty

Its such a buzz when you overcome that mental barrier, just go for, and realise life just carries on around you.

Funny how some of the most mundane things can become exciting when you're dressed. I have gone shopping enough that I don't feel quite the exhilaration I once did. funny though things I haven't done like going to the theater or going out to eat en fem still seem very exciting to me.

Yes congrats Patty for breaking the ice. It does get easier and all those little things we do become so exciting in our alter ego.It is just something we girls have to do to expand our world and feel fulfilled. your outfit also sounds perfect for what you were doing too. Sure you will dwell on this experience for some time now. Hugs

HI Bettylou ,

How are you sweety.

I did make a purchase at Target,a anniversary card for my wife.

However at target they kind of direct you to registers and the next one up was a self checkout.

Darn I was looking forward to the interaction experience.

Thanks girls for your interest.

Hugs

Hi Patty,

All the anticipation, and then the letdown; such a shame. Well, there will be other times.

Now that Bettylou is doing the grocery shopping, I'm starting to interact; and it does feel good. Still don't have a good voice, but I'm working on it.

Hugs,
Bettylou

WooHoo!!!  Way to go Patty.  How was the rush you got as you first pulled that mall door open and stepped inside?

Next trip ( see, we are already planning for you.) pick a mall that has a Torrid or Maurice's and go try a few things on and have a ball.  The women at Torrid are trained to work with us 'special' girls as we are a huge part of their clientele.  Maurice's is also, but not as friendly as Torrid, but still good for us to shop.

Congratulations Patty!

WTG!

Hi Patty,

Congratulations on your first outing.  The malls are still closed here so I’m jealous.  Bet your outing built up your confidence.  Have fun your next trip  out.

Congratulations! You Go Girl! Let us know about the next time you go out.

Congratulations on the outing! Right now it is so much easier to go out because wearing a mask is acceptable and in some places required. I went out to Walmart the other day as Carla with my mask on and no one looked at me like I didn't belong in the women's section. So go out and enjoy yourself, I know I did!

That's awesome Patty!

What an adventure!

Sounds great. Congratulations. I'm glad it went well for you and you had a good experience. Although I had been dressing a lot and had been out often in a couple of years, it had always been just going out for a drive and getting out in selected spots, doing selected and brief outings and walking to and from parties, I had never been out fully as Patty in uncontrolled locations.

After my girlfriend met Patty, She thought it would be fun for us to go out as girlfriends. I was OK with driving around a bit and maybe getting out here and there, but she wanted to go to a mall and get some summer dresses. I was reluctant. I would be in a closed in public place. She told me it would be fun we could get things for both of us. It was tempting but scary.

We walked to the car and drove to the mall. I was nervous but excited. When we got to the mall and parked the car, fear came over me and I didn't want to get out. I nearly drove off but we stayed a while and talked. I finally opened the door and got out. I love that moment. Then it came time to take the walk. That's when it's get back int eh car or shut the door and begin walking. There was a lot of people around. I was hesitant but shut the car door and began walking toward the mall.

There was eyes on us. Two young, sexy and leggy girls out on a sunny Saturday. I was more and more nervous as we got closer to the mall. When we went in inside my anxiety got even higher. After a while I began to relax. We went in a store and began looking at things. I began to relax and enjoy the experience. I was in a short, flowery dress, platform wedges, pantyhose, wig and bra with breastforms. I wanted to try on a few things but the issue of which dressing room came up. I just nonchalantly as I could go into the women's dressing room. I tried on a some things and stepped in and out to show my girlfriend. I began to feel less nervous and more excited. I didn't want to stop.

We went to pretty much every store and tried on and bought a lot of things. In retrospect, it was a wonderful and thrilling experience. We went out often as girlfriends after that. I used to ask her if she wanted me to go out as my male self or Patty. She told me what ever I wanted was fine. I began to go out as Patty more and more often until most of the time I went out as Patty. We just seemed to have more fun when I did.
