Hi Girls,
I had planned to go shopping this past weekend at Victoria Secret to buy some pretties to start myself a new feminine wardrobe. I was so excited and felt so confident. All week I spent some time looking at Members Pictures, reading articles here on CDH and felt ready for anything. Then late Friday afternoon I got an opportunity to work over the weekend and the money was too good to refuse. " What the heck, I've waited this long, I can wait a few more days",I told myself. So I worked all day Saturday and till noon on Sunday, the whole time I could not get thoughts of silky lingerie, stockings, garter belt and soft kimona off my mind. On my way home Sunday I drove by a mall totally in another world in thought. By the time I realized the mall was there, I had passed it and had to turn around and quickly parked my work truck. I walked into the mall feeling great! I had a plan, knew what I wanted to buy and what store I was shopping at. I had not been in a mall in over 10 years, but I was feeling Great and was looking forward to my adventure. And there it was, Victoria's Secret. I entered the store and suddenly felt a rush of anxiety come over me. There were soo many shoppers, I hadn't thought of upcoming x-mas. I hadn't thought of Sunday noon. I walked around the store looking like a deer frozen by car head lights. A 20 something, very young looking attendant approached me and asked, "Can I help you"? I said, "No Thanks, just looking". I walked deeper into the store telling myself, "Get it together, it's only clothes"." Yes, but it's womens clothes and your a man ", I said to myself. I next found myself standing in a group of age 20 somthing young men who were there shopping with their GG SO's who wear in the fitting rooms trying on clothes. I heard them talking about last weeks game??, something I could care less about. I knew this was not gonna work as planned so I started heading out the door and thats when I bumped into a very pretty woman who may have been in her early 60's. She was lovely, long, curly blond hair, very sexy in a classy way. "Can I help you find something sir, you look a bit lost", she said. "Yes, I need to buy my girl freind a x-mas present", I told her. She was great, I'm sure if the store had not been so crowded I would have asked her for help for me, but it was, and I didn't. Oh Well, my girlfreind is getting over $400 in lingerie for x-mas and I saved $20 by opening a Victoria's Secret Credit Card. Maybe Next Time......
I think you have a solid ally in that senior shop assistant now, regardless of who you shop for! That’s a promising start. 😊
Hugs, Donna
Come on Bren.....woman up! LOL.

Time to grow a pair lol. It is amazing how many thoughts rush through your head when the moment happens. Then we think back to what we should have done. I can promise it only gets easier. Juts remember they want to sell you things no matter who it is for.
Anxiety and excitement happen...it's a flood of emotions. It does get easier I can promise you that! I would echo Donna Ross's remark, find an ally. Be careful though, once you find a helpful assistant that you have been honest with, you'll spend too much money!! 🙂
Shopping for gurl clothes is fun and exciting, especially when it comes to trying on shoes or boots! Love doing that!
hi bren. i'm with you there, I get the same anxiety shopping for femme clothes, that said, it still doesn't stop me. its silly really because no-one knows they are for you, for all anyone knows, you could be buying them for your wife, mum or daughter, even a friend. but its that niggling doubt in your mind lol. I think a dose of courage and assertiveness is needed from both of us!
take care bren, love fiona xxx
