I’ve not so far bothered with clothing much. I generally don’t give a fuck what people think and dress in whatever is durable, low maintenance and comfy. That’s usually a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, a pair of well worn in sneakers, shoes(usually of the males rack because until few years back you just could not get low heeled female shoes) or tank boots. I usually buy one pair per year and wear them until they fall apart. My only non-winter jacket is a jean jacket I bought from a cheap sales place now seven years ago IIRC. It was not really comfortable so I didn’t wear it much untilI remodeled it a bit. I cut restrictive bits of it off so it would be a better fit. Been loving it ever since. All in all I usually look like the proverbial proto-geek, except that I’m female…

I went shopping in a clothes store yesterday, a WTF on its own, since I usually avoid places that have no power-tools or electronics. All of a sudden out of the blue I get this silly urge to actually casually look female. So I buy a casual DRESS. I own two dresses besides that one, one that I wear when I paint, that one has holes in it and when painting I use it as a hand wiping rag so its rather “colorful” and the other is for formal occasions only, made for school Christmas ball years ago. My first casual dress EVER since childhood. Well I have dress, that it then? And then I realize “HO CRAP! I have nothing to wear it with.” You cant wear a dress and sneakers… And dresses don’t come nice pockets for your things like cellphone and wallet… So I need female looking boots and a handbag! So today I go shopping again and return with boots and the bag. The boots didn’t take that long to find, there only was one pair that looked acceptable and actually came in the size that could fit me. All the rest only had smaller numbers… Fortunately I liked the boots so I bought them. The handbag section was a pain tho. Tons of bags, but very few had shoulder straps… Don’t women ever want to free their hands from holding the damned things? I tried holding many and in the end ended buying the only one that had a long adjustable shoulder strap and bearable color combination, black fabric with brown leather elements fitting more or less with my new brown boots. I also tried to find a suitable jacket but but failed. I am seriously overweight so it would be understandable if I failed to find suitable size, but there was only one jacket I liked as is and even that one had the most tastelessly cold painted buttons and zippers. I dislike gold paint. It will wear of in places and become horrible in no time in addition to being simply UGLY… That jacked did not come in sizes over 48 anyway and I need 52 … Another one did fit me but first it was gross yellowish pink and second suffered the same gold paint issue. YUK! No way in hell I’m going to wear something like THAT!

At home I tried the outfit on and it wasn’t too bad. Except for my legs. More hair than most women would find comfy. Hair removal? Not sure I’m going to go that far. I think I’ll put that on the sheet titled “Things I don’t do” along with makeup. Me trying to do makeup most likely would end in something that makes me look worse not better anyway.

I’m going to go to work in this get-up tomorrow. Lets see if my boss finds a good comment. We have this cute banter about me not being a real female since I’m an IT guy, witch to extent is true . Its going to be fun seeing his reaction to me showing up in a dress.
