I was at about the same stage as you several months ago. All my friends were seeing a girl when they looked at me, but I sometimes woke up and couldn't not see a girl, then by the end of the day, all I'd see is a guy. It had gotten to be so back and forth that I wondered if they were just humoring me. I was full time at home, but 0% time outside the house.
I started having people gendering me female while in male mode randomly and that increased a lot since I started hormones about 4 months ago. I figured if people were already seeing me as a woman, maybe I needed to take the plunge to see it myself.
So one day I did it. I put on makeup and nail polish in addition to my girl clothes and walked out the door. It was night time, but the place I went was very well lit. It was nerve-wracking, but I survived. So the next day I did it again in broad daylight where I hit a restaurant, the mall, and a grocery store. Again, no issues. The next morning I woke up and got rid of all my guy clothes. Haven't returned to any since.
My voice is nowhere near good enough yet, but I'm getting there. I know voice isn't a requirement of transition, but it certainly helps and I wish I had figured it out by now. I hear a woman maybe 2% of the time I work on it. That does make me nervous and seem anti-social because I avoid conversations for fear of having to use my voice, but I don't have any choice now. After all this time being full-time I've gotten more comfortable with presenting mannerisms too so it doesn't matter how I present, I still look like a woman and that voice is still going to sound out of place.
