My SO has a regular commitment on Thursday evenings that gives me a 4-5 hour window to dress up and go shopping, but it's usually pretty harried trying to get changed and remove the makeup before she gets home or before I return home if I stay out a little later. This week, she had to housesit / babysit overnight on Wednesday so I decided to take advantage of a full night at home alone. I was able to work from home during the day and start a little prep work for my night out. The evening out was incredibly enjoyable not having to worry about rushing thru the switch back to male mode until morning.
After picking out my atire, ironing a top, doing makeup and nails, I went to pick up a few things at Target, but the store was very busy due to the beautiful weather, and I couldn't find the items I was looking for - a couple of pair of thong panties.
I headed from there to Barnes & Noble to browse thru some of the women's magazines; this is really enjoyable - reading thru the health & fitness magazines focused on how to stay fit & slim and youthful looking, a goal of mine so I can be as attractive a girl as possible at 60+. The experience was delightful ( I highly recommend it for an en femme outing) and it really caused the pink fog to thicken. After a short time, I noticed another woman sit down across from me with a book. It began to occur to me that she was checking me out, especially when she got up for no apparent reason to walk over and around the side of my chair. Part of me thought she might be checking out my clothes, makeup and/or perfume, the latter which was helping stoke my personal fog machine. Since I'm still attracted exclusively to women, the thought of her checking me out was really satisfying. After finishing my magazine, I headed to the ladies room to relieve myself and passed this woman again in another area of the store as I was departing.
Next stop was Kohl's, still shopping for those panties and a bracelet I had seen there previously. My confidence was up and I decided to be brave and face a cashier since I found the items I was looking for. She was young & kind, but she locked up the register and had to call for help. Can you say "awkward" trying to kill time without embarrassing myself with casual conversation. I'm comfortable with Yes Maam, Please, No and Thank you, but I start to choke / freeze up beyond that.
I survived, pleased with my purchases, and decided to check out the Ross - Dress for Less store nearby having never been in there. I started browsing for a top and nothing else in particular when I came across the cutest red dress that looked just my size marked down drastically to just $12. I was determined to try it on; this was to be my first time in a changing room en femme. A sales assistant gladly directed me to the changing rooms The two changing rooms were full with two young girls with their mom camped outside as they tried on multiple articles of clothing. Not realizing at first that both rooms were occupied, I stumbled into one with one of the girls because she hadn't locked the door and it had the vacant sign lit up. Fortunately, she was fully dressed, but that would have been awful if she had been disrobed... I could imagine her mom .... "some pervert walked in on my daughter in the changing room". I retreated, found some fashionable leggings and waited the girls out. I came back later and the mother directed me to the one now vacant room since I was nervous about making the same mistake twice. I was tickled with the red dress and snapped a picture in the mirror that I'm posting in my public photos once approved.
After that successful stop, I decided to go to the grocery store and extend this fantastic evening as much as possible. I headed to a large market and strolled throughout the store looking for a few items, and who did I run into but the woman from Barnes & Noble. She made a point to gaily greet me and remark "It seems we're running in the same circles this evening" even though we hadn't acknowledged each other previously. I saw her again near the self checkout and she smiled, waved, and said goodbye as she departed. Needless to say, I'm flumoxed she was attracted to me enough (not necessarily in the sexual way) to check me out and engage in banter with a total stranger & obvious CD. This never happens to me when in DRAB mode and is now the 2nd time something like this has occurred in the last month, so being in girl mode must put a twinkle in my eye, a smile on my face, and an approachability in my mannerisms that disarms others, at least when I'm not panicked with speaking or in an awkward place with lots of eyes around. Regardless of the reasons, this further added to the beauty of the evening. I went home, cleaned up, left my bra and breast forms in place, slipped into a silky nighty and drifted in and out of sleep/fog until I was too excited to stay in bed any longer anticipating the day to come. Given the positive experience, I'm super motivated to use my 4-5 hour window this evening to window shop at the mall in my new red dress!
Hello Emma; Thank you for sharing another one of your evening out stories. It seems you had an exhilarating time of ups and downs. Shopping for needed items is fun, but finding the surprise items is the most exciting. It's great that you pleasant encounters with SAs and the woman you saw at the bookstore and grocery. I definitely felt your sense of uneasiness about the changing room incident. Lucky it was seen as an unintentional event, you dodged a bullet there. I wouldn't have returned until that party was completely done. I look forward to seeing your red dress photo and hearing about the next evening.
I love shopping enfemme. I was in Macy's and a woman gave me such a nice smile. I always dress modestly and the salespeople are always so nice.
Hi Emma,
I too love shopping enfemme . Thanks for sharing your story. Rather eerie about the other woman you ran into.
