A couple weeks ago, I wore a dress out in public for the first time. A
dark casual dress paired with leggings, flats, a purse, and subtle
jewelry. Truly one of the better outfits I've assembled.
The
Sales Associate at one of my favorite stores was estatic to see me and
couldn't stop showering me with smiles, approving looks, and
appreciative comments. She often helps me find feminine pieces for
myself, but has only seen me in male mode and women's shoes during my
numerous shopping visits. We chatted for a while about numerous topics
and I gained insight into why she was also so supportive.
I've
worn women's pants, tops, and shoes out numerous times, but never had
the strength to wear a dress. I often opted for clothing that I could
easily hide behind in case I ran into someone I knew.
Finally, I decided not to hide. It truly was an outing! And the first of several outings wearing a dress out.
