Title: Finally Dressed!
Post by: Maid Marion on July 20, 2018, 09:01:41 PM
I told my wife about my appreciation of TG fiction when we were dating but when we were married it was pretty much DADT.   I did buy and wear VS PJs for sleeping, as they fit wonderfully on me.  It was just clothes in my early years, as I had no appreciation for style and fashion. But, I learned how to dress better for work as she was worried about my job as I got older. It was really hard, as male clothes are a poor fit. Men's XS is a cruel joke. She suggested wearing women's dress shirts. Through Ebay I got a nice collection of J Crew shirts, back in the day when they were quality shirts.  Then I watched the Devil wears Prada!  Wow!  I've now watched many scenes countless times!  She passed a few years ago.  Just recently my barber retired and my cat passed away.  Why not buy a bra from Target? A 32AA bra fits perfectly.  Then I shaved my legs just before the Amazon Prime Sale.  Whoa!  I was trapped in the PINK FOG!  I bought a pair of black kitten pumps, a little black dress, and hose from Target.  It's too warm for the hose, but everything else fits perfectly! And I'm dressed as I write this!

Thanks for the welcome!

I love shopping, cooking, and gardening!

I got a great Panasonic shaver and a Citizen Eco watch in the Amazon Prime sale.  Both with hefty discounts.  ;D

I admire strong females characters, like Rey in Star Wars.  Maid Marion is one of the earliest strong females, as the love interest of Robin Hood.

I've learned that women project power through appearance.  Some Chinese general figured out the best battles are the ones that are never fought.  If I'm dressed well when shopping the SAs are so much more respectful, and they often do things they really don't have to, like just assuming things in my favor.  But, good dressing is an art that requires intelligence.  Appearance is the total package of how you look.  Not just the clothes, but your health, weight, and figure.
