Title: A Great Day for me ....
Post by: Tony2Toni on April 05, 2014, 06:22:51 AM
I used to think I was quite brave.. going out to the shops post office etc in my wig and girl stuff ..no problem ........
Well today the weather changed .. it's quite hot .. so I can't really wear my big coat, scarf ,gloves and hat ...    panic!! ..this has made me realise I've been hiding under all these things..........
Whats going to happen in the summer ??
Took me a long while to feel comfortable going out ( a bit at a time) now it's more revealing clothes.. I feel like I have to start all over again....

Update......

Well that was yesterday ..todayI feel sooo pleased with myself .. After 1 hour of trying on various jackets and hats.. getting to the door looking in the mirror then changing again ..
I finally bit the bullet and went to the post office 'without my hat'..... I was actually shaking whilst I was talking to the post mistress ..but you know what ..  she didn't look at me or talk to me any differently .. no one pointed, stared or laughed ...
It may not sound like a big deal to anyone else but it was a huge step for me .. that hat was such a security blanket and I don't need it any longer .....
Great Day ..........................

That is wonderful, well done.

Thin shirts and warm weather are on my mind a lot. I am definitely visible in the breast area and if there is a breeze my nips will get hard.  I will need to wear a  sports bra for sure.

It does sound like a big deal.  We have all had those moments where we made a huge step.  When I look back there were some things that seem like such insignificant steps now but at the time they were huge for me.  So I say congratulations to you!
