"You have a beautiful smile" said the other customer to me while I was out dressed today.

I took a longer lunch break from work today. I quickly got dressed in a tank top, skinny jeans, sandals, a button up blouse worn unbuttoned as a cardigan, and my newest go-to purse. I headed to a thrift store that has Monday deals. I've been there lots of times, the cashiers recognize me and are very sweet, but there's always a slight nervousness as I get out of the car and walk towards the entrance.

Inside, feeling comfortable, I started my perusing. I was in the shoes aisle and finally done examining every pair for my size or one size smaller. Then with a startle, I hear this woman make a cordial comment and I say "sorry, I'm in your way".

That's when she replied, "You have a beautiful smile". We got to talking and it turns out she she suffers from a terrible, painful condition. She told me that smiles help her through her day.

"You have a beautiful smile". " Your smile just makes my day." "Nobody can ever take your smile away." "If they try, tell them to come back tomorrow."

It was an uplifting conversation.

It had me thinking. Do I smile more when I'm dressed? I do feel more at ease, at peace, like it's just being me. Maybe that inner calm shows on the outside. Maybe being dressed lets me give something unique to those around me.

Today was a wonderful day.

Hi, Lea, thanks for your lovely post.

Yes, I definitely smile LOTS more when I'm dressed. I don't go out en femme...yet but I often find myself smiling even just sitting watching tv or chatting with my wife. 

I think there are a few reasons, it's nice to wear lovely clothes, I feel far more relaxed and I like being able to look in the mirror and see a (in my opinion) much better looking me!

Keep on smiling!

Lovely story Lea.

I think there’s been a theme since I’ve been on CDH where people are just happier and more talkative dressed compared to how they are in drab.

That’s certainly the case with me. 

In drab I’ve been getting more and more grumpy as the years pass by. For the UK based girls think a slightly younger version of Victor Meldrew! 

I like to think that Lucy’s smiley, cheerful personality is having some knock on effect to drab me. At least I hope it is

Good for you Lea, keep on smiling and enjoy. I have noticed that most women smile when greeted. They are just more friendly, and I feel I am the same when dressed en femme.

I am an intersex female, a trans woman, who came out to the world at my workplace two years ago. Many of the people I work with knew the old person I used to be, as I'd been working there since the building opened in June of 2017. After I transitioned, the comment I heard from so many people, was that they couldn't remember me smiling. They said I was just quiet, very polite, but no smiles.

Now they tell me I have a beautiful and very contagious smile that never stops, they say I literally glow! I'm also told that I'm always laughing, grinning and giggling all the time.

It is absolutely amazing what happens when you are living as the person you truly are, and always have been, but had to hide it.

And yes, as a woman, smiling at other women and having them smile back at me, just makes the day so much more wonderful!

Hugs girls,

Ms. Lauren M

I have noticed that the interactions with women while enfeme  feels different, I have been thinking that even if they realize you are a man, you are much less of a threat. Over the last several years (before I started crossdressing,) I became aware through my wife and female friends, how guarded they have to be because men are such a constant threat. I wonder if that is partly why I dress? Keep on smile, our world needs more beautiful smiles!

In drab I really don't smile much, it makes my face just the wrong shape and I look ... odd.  However, Fiona's a very smiley girl and with the hair to frame it, my face is absolutely lit up ... until I let my teeth show.  In make-up it's really clear how dark they are - very healthy, but they just don't look right.  I don't want to have to restrict myself if I'm feeling happy, so I've just set things in motion for a course of teeth whitening, which is something I would never have even considered purely in drab.

I am sure that most of us smile more when dressed. It is so nice to get a compliment like that Lea and to make someones day is an added bonus. As it is said, Smile and the whole world smiles with you.....

I look at my pics from over the years and in the overwhelming majority I believe I'm smiling.  I guess it has to have something to do with how happy I am when I my femme self.
