First time out enfemme

Almost 1 year ago I made the decision to accept my feminine side and begin to explore it a more healthy way. I told my wife and she was supportive, but not very enthusiastic. In the 10 months or so since telling her I have gotten more comfortable with her seeing me dressed and she has become more accustomed to me being dressed around the house. This degree of acceptance allows m to truly be me for the first time in my life. it is truly wonderful.

While I dress at home regularly, sometimes for days in a row, I never go out in public enfemme. The urge to allow DeLora out in public has been growing, but in the region where I live the chance of running into someone I know is too great.

I frequently drive many hundreds of km for work. it was actually on one such drive a year ago that I realized that there was more to this dressing thing. For the last two years I have frequently made to 960 km drive fully enfemme, only changing to get fuel or stop for food. These long periods being dressed really allowed DeLora to come out and allowed me to experience being DeLora. I spent many hours thinking about what this means about me. I never came to any clear conclusions, its still a bit of a mystery to me. However, I did decide to embrace it for what it is. It is no longer something I feel shame about, it is no longer something I hide from my wife or have to lie about. That feels awesome!

This year, while driving to work in a dark floral top and black leggings with high heel sandals I decided not to change when stopping for food or fuel. It was not planned and was just spur of the moment.
The first stop was subway for lunch. I parked up in my usual spot behind the subway and opposite the loading dock of a warehouse. There were a bunch of guys sitting on the loading dock eating lunch. I got out of the car and walked the 50m or so to Subway. I could hear the guys chatting, but they paid me no attention. I entered the subway. two guests seated at a table looked up as people do in a small town when someone enters a restaurant. They paid no more attention. There was no line so I went straight to ordering my lunch. The young guy serving took my order just as usual, no funny looks, nothing. He just treated me as he would any other customer. After Subway I went to a discount clothing store. I parked and walked in. I browsed the woman's clothing section for a while and again, no one paid me any more attention than normal. Shopping for women's clothing enfemme is way more comfortable than in guy mode. It is obvious that I am shopping for myself and I am not hiding it. It feels great! In the next town I stopped at the Walmart for a few supplies for the job I was going on. as I walked the isles I saw one person take a second look at me before continuing on with their day. I picked up what I needed and stood in line to pay.  The line moved quickly. by this point I had pretty much forgotten I was enfemme. I paid and had a short chat with the guy at the cash register. again, nothing unusual. I continued on my drive until I had to stop for fuel. I parked up at the pump and fueled my car before going in to pay. There was a big line up to pay and because of COVID everyone was spaced 6 ft apart. I suddenly felt very exposed. I was stood in line in full view of about 10 other people. The line moved along and eventually I got to the desk and paid for my fuel. No one gave me a weird look, or said anything. The cashier treated me the same as any other customer. I continued on to work and only changed about 50km from my destination.

This was a very uneventful experience but very encouraging. I am so glad that I allowed DeLora out in the world and that the world was so accepting to DeLora.
I am now making plans for my return trip. I have a tentative makeup appointment booked in a town about 200km into my drive. I don't think I am ever going to get big into makeup, but I want to see how it looks when done well by someone who knows what they are doing.
I'll keep you posted!
