I wanted to share something lighthearted about this past long weekend. Since coming out to my wife we have had a lot of special moments that have made our relationship stronger. And though there are some serious issues we have and continue to address, there are those silly and fun parts as well. This past Sunday, was a chance for Gwenn and I to have time to just be us. So we decided to make it a shopping day. As I am not yet ready to reveal Michelle to the world, I was in male mode but that did not stop us from hitting lots of clothing stores and searching for cute outfits together. After a beauty supply run, we went to a Thrift store that had so many clothes. I did not know where to start, they even had a pair of 3″ heels in size 12 (so close), in the long run nothing really caught our attention. Our next stop turned out to be much more fun. My wife decided that we should try Dress Barn, now I have been in Dress Barns before but never really was allowed myself to browse. I think I had a smile from ear to ear when we found a gorgeous dress that sparkled both of us thought how that this was worth coming in. Being the amazing lady that she is, Gwenn decided to try it on since we are about the same size, in the meantime I was looking at how to accessorize the dress. She came out of the fitting room for help to zipper and well let’s just say that what made the dress sparkle also made my wife sparkle as well. Glitter everywhere, the look on her face was priceless, she did not have to say a thing. I knew she was thinking, only for you… I could not help but chuckle which led to us having a wonderful laugh about it. We decided that we would skip purchasing the dress and after not finding anything else moved onto our next destination. We did find a lot of outfits that we thought would look good on each other, so it was like having a girl’s day out. I was able to find a really cute blue chenille on sale and is now part of my wardrobe. So if you ever get the chance to have that kind of time with your partner, remember to show how much you truly appreciate them. Hugs, Michelle
Michelle,
I’m happy for you! Being able to share as a couple could really bring a couple closer than ever.
I know it will not happen to me and I’m at peace with it. I had the chance to go shopping a few times with some female friends and it was awesome. So sharing it with the one you love…. wow!

Did that, yesterday, Michelle. But it was a “Girls’ Day Out”. For the first time, other than Halloween parties or CD events, I went out as Dawn. Nervous about the neighbors seeing me, but so what? We had our nails done, went to lunch & went shopping. It was great to be able to look at– and try on– clothes without someone thinking, “What’s up with that guy?” Other than the nail salon, I saw no indications that I was “clocked”. Other than my voice, which I hid with the old “I have a cold & lost my voice” routine, my wife says that the biggest thing that would have given me away is my height. But I’m only little under 6′ & I was wearing flat sandals. Wish it could have lasted longer. I felt so comfortable. I got to be the real me. Great day!
Hi Michelle, when my gf and I shop together we have an absolute blast. Giddy and even sometimes silly, they have been some of our most enjoyable times. We know and understand each others style choices even though they differ greatly. My personality is far more daring than her or her bf lol. I hope it also helps build bridges for any other girls that get the chance to try it.
That is a dream of mine currently – but I’m in for the long haul, and hoping it will happen!
Fully dressed, naturellement.
Enjoy the moments – so happy for you!
Love
Laura
The wife and I do shop together when the chance arises and we always have a blast..every time she finds me in the womens section of wut ever store we are at.

We seldom make planned dates, but end up doing so often.
I always love the fact that she’ll find things for me that she thinks might look cute.
On the flip? I’m honored when at home to be asked a style opinion on what she’s thinking about wearing.
Long story for another time, but she wore an outfit of my choice that she disliked to an event several years ago and got nothing but compliments on the look.
I’ve been her “fashion editor” ever since ~ lol!
What a Fun day. I’m so happy for ya. I had a similar experience with my so. Who I recently came out with.
We went to famous footwear and got her some comfy slip ons, and then went to Burlington coat factory. She’s the type that doesn’t like to get things cause she’s u sure of. But any who I picked out her shoes which were more for confortablity than anything. Then went to Burlington and picked out this handbag I mentioned it to her she said no cause I want shoulder bag. I said put it on and she listened and ended up loving it. Once we got into car she said thank you and then relised I had picked everything out and said it’s kinda weird now your a cd. We had a little playful serious moment where I asked/ reassured her If she thought I had pick them out to wear my self, and then reassured her That I hadn’t. And then she made a joke of like I most likely would be using the bag later anyway. So it was a fun spontaneous time for me.
