Compliments while shopping

Most shopping outings in mixed male mode, wearing women's flats, are uneventful. Today's wasn't.

It started out with a visit to one of my favorite thrift stores, owned by a wonderful lady who treats me with the same customer service and friendliness as all her other female clients. We started off with a long chat about life topics, and off I went to try on some items off the $1 rack. Needing a second opinion, I modeled a cute jacket with a pair of wedges, thinking they were decently coordinated. The compliments she gave me sealed my purchase, along with a few other finds. As I was leaving with my purchases, I decided to wear my new jacket and wedges out of the store since they really complimented the rest of my male outfit.

There's another new, small thrift store I spotted the other day, so I decided to visit it. The minute I walked in, I seemed to be showered with attention from the women working and shopping there. One woman asked, "Do you wear high heels?" while observing my wedges. Excitedly, she called a friend over to check my footwear out and remarked how impressed she was that I wear heels since she can't without feeling immense foot and back pain. Numerous times she repeated the compliment, and her friend was very approving of my wedges.

I spotted a pair of red pumps, and their curiosity peaked even more. Trying the hot pumps on, both women complimented me on them and encouraged me to get them. The cashier noted the red pumps I carried towards her and excitedly claimed how cute they looked, asking if I was going to get them. She even had me try them on just to see how well they went with my jeans and jacket, and again complimented me on how well they looked on me with my height.

I purchased my find, and walked out wearing my new red heels, ending a pleasantly eventful shopping outing full of compliments.
