Today I received a new pair of espadrille wedges. I couldn’t wait to try them on so I kicked off my male shoes and socks and put on some knee highs and my pretty new shoes with my drab clothes. They are closed toe suede and my sweet SO commented that if I were to go out in the neighborhood in the evening, my jeans cover enough that at a glance they almost look like house shoes. So I did! We have community mailboxes in our neighborhood, ours is about half a block from our house. So I went to check the mail, at night, in my pretty new shoes. It seems almost ridiculous to me to even be typing this because it’s such a small thing but I loved every second of it. When I got back, mail in hand my SO grinned and said “So you did it?”. Of course her encouragement made it even better.
One reason this is such a big deal to me is we have lived in this neighborhood for over 20 years. We raised our kids here, and we are friends with nearly everyone on the block. If someone sees me out they will expect to have a conversation. Also my boss lives right across the street. It’s wonderful to be so close to your neighbors…unless you don’t want to get caught wearing feminine attire outside. LOL
But I didn’t get caught, and it was wonderful, and I will do it again, and it just brings me one step closer to being Lola somewhere in public…outside the home neighborhood of course.
Anyway, if you read this far, thank you for sharing in my tiny little victory! Baby steps, literally.
💖Lola

Lola,
I’ve done exactly the same thing and I can tell you it isn’t a small thing at all. There’s a regular route I do near where I live and whilst I’ve often worn female attire under my male clothes, I’d never put on a pair of feminine shoes until recently (mainly because I could never find any that fit my massive feet).
Recently, I did find some black sandal-type shoes (with a t-bar) and tried my walk wearing some grey tights under my jeans. Whilst the jeans were normal length, there was still enough of a gap around the ankle and through the sandals to make someone look twice if they were properly gazing at my feet.
I did go past a few people, but no one seemed to notice, however it was an incredibly exhilarating experience.

Hi Lola,
Congratulation on going out in your new shoes! The next step is to put on a pair of black pantyhose with shorts or jeans and go out wearing those beautiful shoes so that everyone can see that you are wearing girl’s shoes. After all, women wear men’s shoes and other clothing all of the time. Do not be worried about who sees you wearing girl shoes. The feeling that you will feel will be so exhilarating and so liberating. It is a feeling of bliss like nothing you ever felt. All that you have to do is own it! Even major airlines are letting their pilots and flight attendants mix and match articles of clothing from male and female uniforms. You can even wear your girl shoes to work! What I am describing is exactly how women won their fashion freedom They just put on men articles of clothing and did not worry about it! If you follow my advice, after a while you will be wearing pumps to work without even thinking about it.
May the Pink Fog be with You Now and Forever.

you are so right about real women wearing men clothing is what society calls them and think nothing of it. so we can wear female clothing like a skirt or heels and nylons and dress and get away with it, even a pierced ear. there is nothing wrong with that why not get both ears pierced then have one stone for mom and 1 for dad, it’s just clothing nay ways but with a little more sex appeal looks, stain or silk, flowery design. so what go for it. my wife knows i dress up and really does not like my fem side too much but getting better at me dressed up for i get dressed up every morning like a real female would then go about my business at home when no one is here except wife. I wear dresses, skirts nylons, bra’s panties, with pad and perfume, earrings necklace boob enhancers. and feel great and look pretty i also put on eye shadow and for get i had it on

I am over the moon about how many of you took the time to leave an encouraging comment and remind me that no matter how small, every step is important. I fully expected encouragement but the sheer number of responses is so touching. Thanks and hugs to all!

Lola,
I agree that it is not silly at all. I understand how you feel, I am in a area that will not let me go out fully dressed. I also will do the daring run outside when dressed to take out the trash or run to the mailbox. The feeling of freedom and being out in the open is very much exciting. Take all the baby steps you can and that you need to. Best of luck to you.

Nothing silly about shoes. They are one of the funniest part of women’s clothes to me. So many options and styles. I would have countless pairs if my wife would let me. 10 is about the most I can get away with. Be proud that your wife supported and encouraged you. That’s the big win I’m seeing.

Hi Lola, I have a pair of 4 inch stiletto booties I just adore and in the evenings just after it gets dark, my wife will routinely say, hey put on your booties and a pair of your straight leg Kuts and lets go to the park for a walk. Its lighted but not very brightly and is in a very safe nice part of town but not very crowded in the evenings. For me it doesn’t get much better than this.

Thank you for sharing! And it’s not silly nor little of an accomplishment at all! Each step (literally in this case) is a step towards that amazing feeling of just being… free. Regardless of whether it has anything to do with crossdressing or not, feeling free and unburdened by societal opinion is where everybody really wants to be.

This is so, so true. As long as we are moving forward in life by accomplishing our little goals and scoring little triumphs we are growing as a person. I much prefer scoring a bunch of little victories rather then occasional big ones…I get to celebrate much more often.

Be proud of baby steps.
Each one accumulates and builds confidence.
Knowing your neighbors, or more importantly, their knowing you is constraining.
Some may not care, but how do you find out if personal disaster is a possible out come?I have a similar situation as I live in a small community/county.
I’m close to a larger community and do my baby steps there. I have seen folks who know me, but as far as I know none has id’d me.I have several encouraging GG’s I’ve told only recently.
They keep suggesting things I might do.
I’ve gone from “OMG! I can’t do THAT!” to “Hmm, how could I do that?”Just ’cause you can’t do everything doesn’t mean you can’t do anything.

The only thing “silly” about this is that we have to even give it a second thought. What could be more natural than to enjoy new shoes. Like one of the sisters said, this is the most normal thing going on in the neighborhood

Congratulations on taking a small step ( both figuratively and literally) in your neighborhood n your new heels. I know that is a big step, because I haven’t been there yet. Thank you for sharing, it’s not silly to share little victories.

Lola –
So happy for you to have had that experience. A small win for you and how nice of your wife to encourage you. I got a new pair of sandals once, my wife had me try them on and I wore them in the house. There was something she needed help with on the porch and when I went to step out the door she asked what “what are you doing the neighbors might see”.
I hope you get more opportunity to do that again.
XOXO

Thanks Brandie. I try to remember that as I move closer to presenting as Lola in public. The amazing thing is, sometimes the people who have the most to hide are the most judgmental. But mostly, I’m just not ready to have that conversation with any of them.

Doesn’t sound silly but very scary. How high are the heels on those wedges? I have a pair with a three inch heel that are so comfy that I wear them a lot when I’m working around the house. I can’t imagine though being brave enough to wear them out to the mailbox or to take out the trash.

These are a bit tamer heel, only 2″. My SO and I are ballroom dancers. My men’s latin shoes have a 1.5″ heel and I rumba and cha cha in those so 2″ is not much different. I’m pretty good with a 3″, but 4″ needs some more practice.

Hi Lola, My wife and I were both dancers once (she was in national competitions in her day). So if anyone would said something to you, just reply that you’re stretching your ankle with different heels for competition or novelties. I won’t say break a leg but will say congratulations and have fun. Marg
