Most shopping outings in mixed male mode, wearing women's flats, are uneventful. Today's wasn't.
It started out with a visit to one of my favorite thrift stores, owned by a wonderful lady who treats me with the same customer service and friendliness as all her other female clients. We started off with a long chat about life topics, and off I went to try on some items off the $1 rack. Needing a second opinion, I modeled a cute jacket with a pair of wedges, thinking they were decently coordinated. The compliments she gave me sealed my purchase, along with a few other finds. As I was leaving with my purchases, I decided to wear my new jacket and wedges out of the store since they really complimented the rest of my male outfit.
There's another new, small thrift store I spotted the other day, so I decided to visit it. The minute I walked in, I seemed to be showered with attention from the women working and shopping there. One woman asked, "Do you wear high heels?" while observing my wedges. Excitedly, she called a friend over to check my footwear out and remarked how impressed she was that I wear heels since she can't without feeling immense foot and back pain. Numerous times she repeated the compliment, and her friend was very approving of my wedges.
I spotted a pair of red pumps, and their curiosity peaked even more. Trying the hot pumps on, both women complimented me on them and encouraged me to get them. The cashier noted the red pumps I carried towards her and excitedly claimed how cute they looked, asking if I was going to get them. She even had me try them on just to see how well they went with my jeans and jacket, and again complimented me on how well they looked on me with my height.
I purchased my find, and walked out wearing my new red heels, ending a pleasantly eventful shopping outing full of compliments.
That's so nice. I'm glad you had those great experiences.
That is a great story, Lea! May you experience many more like it. It warms my heart that more and more people are accepting of our lives. Girl Power.

Compliments and attention like that makes our week
Wow thanks for sharing that very inspiring.
Experiences like that is always so positive! Both to hear about and experience, and it often makes my day!
The first times I was shopping for womens clothing I was nervous as f**k! But after I experienced that most saleswoman or men just finds it exciting when you ask them for help, shopping has become one of my favorite things to do 😁
Its a great story and I have experienced similar.
The first time I was complimented my heart sank as I thought she had seen though me and was being sarcastic or something.
The lady behind me at the grocery store till loved my outfit.
Her gushing compliments brought many looks my way from others nearby.
It was an amazing experience and I have had three or four similar complimentary experiences since then.
Compliments especially from other women greatly boost one's confidence out in public.
Alternatively I also attract glares from irate wives as they catch their spouses leering my way.

I am going to write the story of my evening last night in another thread...but, last night I popped into the local stop n rob on the way home...all made up and bare legs in high heels, and the lady behind the counter looked in my eyes and lit up with this radiant smile....I was somewhat obviously not what I seemed and she just connected to my inner wench and outer woman...
Made my whole day.
What a nice shopping experience to share with us ... It gives inspiration to all of us..thanks again ladies
I'm used to shopping en femme in everything from grocery stores and supermarkets to high end fashion boutiques and never exerienced any problems. I also have been shopping female clothing in male mode and the shop attendants usually are very courteous and helpful whether i want to try on a dress or a pair of high heels.
I often have modelled the clothes for an oponion and once I was even asked to model a brand new line of dresses for the sales assistant so she could see how they looked on!
Lea; Thank you for sharing your great story. Shopping experiences like this is what we live and hope for.
