This Week's Outings 8/16/26

Sunday 7/16/26:

Yesterday, after my walk, my fiancee and I got into the car and drove to the nearest "big" city, about 90 miles south of where we live. We spent the day there and had a blast. The problem was, when I got out of the shower prior to the trip, I put on all "male" clothing, and that's what I wore for the rest of the day.

When I woke up this morning, I was deep in regret. I changed before I ever left the bedroom, into a bra, panty and gray sheer pantyhose. I pulled on a t-shirt and a pair of pink biker shorts, and went about my day, much happier.

The first outing was when I went to Arby's for lunch. Whenever I can, I place food orders online, and pick them up inside the restaurant, and that's what I did, still wearing the above-mentioned outfit.

Later, I ran to the grocery store and picked up my grocery order, in the same outfit.

After that, I went home, showered, got dressed in panty, bra and glossy black semi-opaque tights, with a very colorful LulaRoe Nichole dress (I own several), which I'm still wearing as I type this entry.

Not exciting, but I enjoyed it... 

Saturday 8/22/26:

I took most of the week off from my bras and nylons, just for a refreshing change of pace. Then Saturday rolled around. 

Upon getting home from work (on night shift), I was anxious to get back into the femme goodies, so I quickly stripped off my work clothes, right down to my birthday suit, and replaced it with a pink microfiber panty, a black mesh bra and white sheer pantyhose. On top of all of it, a pink LulaRoe Julia with a pattern of small white flowers on it, and a silver anklet on my right ankle. 

Ahhhh, that's better! 

I woke up an hour earlier than I normally would, to go pick up our weekly grocery order. I debated wearing heels for the outing, but thought better of that idea when I realized I also had to stop and fill up my car's gas tank. So I put on my black ballerinas, a hoodie (somehow I feel like it's less shocking if people don't see the entire dress), grabbed my keys and headed for the door.

The grocery pickup went as smoothly as it always does. I was only out of the car for a few seconds to open the back door -- if you don't open the back door, they assume you want the groceries in the rear cargo area, rather than the back seat). Groceries picked up, I drove to the gas station, picked a pump I rather liked, and hopped out of the car to pump my gas. Nothing happened while I was fueling, but I could feel eyes on me, judging me, for almost the entire time. After I had collected the receipt, I had one more stop to make.

I like to order from Hardee's (those in the western US would know it as Carl's Jr) every now and again, and since it was on my way home, I placed an online order. I don't know about other locations, but this particular Hardee's always has my order ready, waiting on the counter when I get there, even if I order it from their parking lot. Maybe they're psychic... Anyway, I walked into the lobby, past the 2 employees loitering thereabouts, grabbed my bag and cup from the counter, and walked right back out to my car. If any of the Hardee's personnel noticed the pink dress or the white nylons, they didn't let on.

And that's it. I drove home, ate my Frisco Burger, drank my Diet Dr. Pepper, then jumped in the shower to go to work.

Oh, and to work, under my work clothes, I wore a black cotton animal-print panty, red mesh bra (yummy!) and a brand new pair of Nude control-top pantyhose, fresh out of the freezer. Yes, I put my pantyhose in the freezer a day or 2 before I take them out of the package. I read somewhere that it strengthens the fibers or some such thing. Even if that's not true, how cool is it opening your freezer and finding a couple pair of nylons looking back at you? 

This Week's Outings 8/9/26

I realize I haven't been updating the weekly outings posts as much as I should, but that's because I haven't had the time or opportunity to actually engage in any outings, as my work / home life have been rather hectic. I could post each day saying I walked out on my porch wearing a dress, but that's boring. Even my neighbors would yawn at such fluff, so I don't post it here. 

Rest assured, when an outing happens, I'll document it here...

Wednesday 8/12/26:

After not having an outing since last week (I didn't go to the event last Thursday night, BTW), I was feeling down, so...

After getting out of the shower, I did my usual grooming (comb hair, shave, deodorant), and decided I wanted more, so I put on concealer, foundation, eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara. I also filled in my brows and highlighted my brow bone. 

When quite pleased with the makeup look, I slipped into a pink thong panty, a new pink front-closure bra with black hearts all over it, white sheer pantyhose, an anklet and a LulaRoe Nichole dress I can only describe as "colorful." I then drove to the local grocery store, which I intentionally walked through very slowly, smiling and greeting people as they passed. When done, I went home.

At bedtime, I took off my makeup and my bra, put on a brand new, frilly, pink sleep dress, and drifted off to sleep. 

What fun! 

Thursday 8/13/26:

Aside from the fact that I wear panties, bra and pantyhose under my "male" clothes at work every day, I also wear minimal makeup. By "minimal," I mean a light coat of mascara (I already have pretty lashes - nobody notices if they're slightly prettier) and a shot of my Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil (shade "Milk") on the inner corners of my eyes, which gives a more "awake" look. Today at work was no exception, although I should have blended the white eye pencil a bit better.

Once home from work, I slipped out of my work-wear and into a pair of black Noosh seamless tights, a silver anklet and a white / gray LulaRoe Julia dress, paired with my favorite black patent pumps. Once in my home outfit, I walked out onto my front porch to retrieve a package. Pretty tame...

A bit later in the evening, I realized that one of the mouse traps I have set at the entrance to our crawlspace had an occupant, and had to take it out to the trash, still in my dress, nylons and heels.

Not exciting, not all that brave, but a public outing all the same. 

Tomorrow, I plan to wake up 45 minutes early, throw on this same dress (and bra), with my "guy" sneakers, and head out for a 30-minute walk. I've been putting on weight lately, and this is one aspect of how I'm going to slim back down. Wearing a dress while walking is the incentive. It satisfies my goal of venturing out in my femme finery at least once per day, and will hopefully result in my dresses and nylons fitting better before too long.

Friday 8/14/26:

As planned, I woke up early, slipped back into my bra and dress, put on my Nikes and a hoodie, and headed out into the neighborhood. I only walked for 20 minutes, but kept thinking about how glossy and noticeable my black Noosh Play Gloss tights were. I know that's strange, because I regularly go out into public places wearing similar outfits, and never care who notices or what they think. For some reason, being "out" in my own neighborhood hit different.

Of course, I'll do it again (and again and again), because I want to get back to my goal weight and because it's exhilarating to be out in public wearing a dress and nylons, even after all these years of doing it.

Saturday 8/15/26:

I hopped out of bed at 6am, ditched my sleepwear in exchange for bra and dress, jumped into my sneakers and hoodie, and walked out of the house for another 20-minute walk.

The difference this time is the time. Yesterday, I did this around 3am, when it was still dark. Today, there was plenty of light, and it was obvious I was wearing a dress (especially this dress - it stands out a bit). I encountered 2 pedestrians, one of whom gave me a long look, but it wasn't a problem, and rarely ever is.

This walk was bittersweet for me. If you've read this blog, you know that I'm a nylon enthusiast, to put it lightly. Well, the last time I wore my Everswe nude pantyhose, they developed a run, so I had to toss them. Yesterday, I pulled out a new pair and wore them to work, then to sleep. Apparently, I didn't pull them up correctly, because I woke up to notice them coming apart at the crotch seam. I knew they felt a little saggy in the crotch yesterday, but I attributed that to them being new and needing to stretch. So, to my beloved Everswe nude pantyhose, you will be remembered fondly, but I'll have to pitch you in just a few minutes.

As soon as I got home from my walk, I was ordering 6 more pair of these wonderful nylons. At just over $3 a pair, the quality is astounding, and they feel nice and silky. I don't want to run out...

Silly Blunder

In the last week or so, in my ongoing efforts to boldly appear in the world as my authentic self, I've picked up a new habit.

I won't bore you with a big lead-up and a lame reveal. I'll just proceed with the lame reveal...

I've been wearing a small amount of makeup each day at work. Nothing extreme. Nothing even noticeable. Usually, just a very light layer of mascara and a touch of white on the inner corners of my eyes. As I said, nothing noticeable, but I know it's there. 

It makes me feel edgy and brave to wear makeup nobody will notice. I know, I'm weird.

On my days off, I'm a bit bolder, often wearing eye shadow, eyeliner, foundation, concealer, etc. I haven't worn a "full face" of makeup yet, but I hope to remedy that very soon.

Usually, I'll quickly brush on some mascara and draw some white on my inner corners with my Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil when I'm fresh out of the shower, to give the mascara time to dry before I put my glasses on. 

Anyway, I was in such a hurry to get ready for work today that I completely spaced and didn't apply any makeup.

When I realized that I wasn't wearing any makeup, about 8 hours into my 12-hour shift, I was rather disappointed. I promised myself that I would go hog wild with makeup when I got home (which I didn't), and that I would never forget to wear makeup to work again.

That's complete rubbish, by the way. I know I'll forget again in the future, but not soon, and hopefully not often. 

This Week's Outings, 8/2/26

Sunday 8/2/26:

Today I stepped out a little bolder than usual. 

First, while my lovely fiancee was asleep, I showered, slipped into a cute panty and sports bra, pulled on a lovely pair of black sheer-to-waist pantyhose, added a cute anklet and a pretty LulaRoe Julia dress. Then I slipped on my favorite pair of ballet flats and headed out the door.

The trip wasn't very long, but I went to the local grocery store, then to my favorite Kwik-E-Mart for a lovely energy drink, and finally to Walgreens to exchange my empty propane tank for a full one (I had to stop back home first, as I forgot the empty propane canister the first time out). All that done, I headed home.

Later, our landlord finally got our garage door fixed, so I went out to the street (still wearing the same ensemble) and moved both of our cars into the garage, then took our trash cans out to the curb.

All in all, quite visible today, and I have even more planned for tomorrow...

Monday 8/3/26:

I had planned to have several outings today, and practice my makeup techniques, but things rarely go according to plan...

After showering, I put on my underthings, glossy sky blue tights, anklet, and a pretty blue, yellow and pink pastel mini-dress. Honestly, this dress is shorter than I like, and definitely shorter than a person my age should wear, but I love it, so I'm wearing it.

I had a grocery order to pick up, so I slipped into a pair of patent Mary Janes, jumped in the car and drove to the store. The pickup was very routine, and afterward I drove home.

I have to provide a little backstory for the next part...

Last September, the ceiling in our bathroom collapsed. due to a leak in the upper apartment (we live in a house that was converted into an upper / lower rental). Our slumlord (no, not a typo), in true slumlord fashion, hired one of his prison buddies (I wish I were making this up) to fix the leak and repair our bathroom. Remember, the ceiling collapsed last September, almost a year ago. The slumlord's prison buddy left a ladder, and some tools sitting in our bathroom, which I moved to the garage, with the sheet of drywall he also left. So, back to today's outing...

Before I unloaded the car, I decided I'd had my fill of prison buddy's property in my garage, so I slid the drywall outside and leaned it against the garage wall (still in my dress, nylons, etc), then proceeded to unload the car and put the groceries away.

To finish off the day's outdoor activities, I walked out to the curb, dragged my trash cans back to their customary spot next to our screen porch, then walked back into the house. 

Thursday 8/6/26:

Tonight was going to be the "First Thursday" GNO (Girls' Night Out), but I decided not to go, due to my own horrid makeup skills and the fact that my favorite wig has been sitting for 4 years, and is honestly beyond saving. So I'll buy a new wig, work on my makeup techniques, and try to make it to next month's GNO.

In the hustle and bustle of getting ready, before I decided not to go, I was out and about a couple times...

First, I went to Walgreens, in search of pink eye shadow, which proved fruitless. I should have gone to (c)Ross Dress For Less or TJ Maxx, or even ordered a decent palette online weeks ago. 

After Walgreens, I went to a nearby credit union and withdrew some cash for the evening.

All the while, wearing a basic black dress and glossy sheer nude pantyhose layered over hot pink stockings, with my black patent Mary Janes. I was also wearing a nearly full face of makeup, not that anyone would notice...

Later,  after I had showered and made the decision to stay in, I ran to the grocery store to stock up on a few items, wearing a black, blue and white tie-dye-ish dress, glossy nude tights and the same patent Mary Janes.

Not quite the outing I had planned for today, but not bad, either. 

This Week's Outings, 7/26/26

My failure to update last week has led me to a decision.

I'll update these "what I wore outside this week" posts, on the days I actually ventured out into the world. Otherwise, it feels like a chore and I get bored with it pretty quickly. 

Monday 7/27/26:

Today was a very bad day. A tornado tore through my area, and missed my house by less than a mile. 

In the storm, I ran out do get my trash can out of the street, wearing a pair of pink biker shorts over blue sheer tights. My fiancee was home at the time, and saw me do the whole thing.

I should be happy, but this storm caused a lot of damage and ruined a lot of lives. It's going to take a long time to rebuild. 

Wednesday 7/29/26:

I had grand designs to go out into the world today, in my femme attire, but since I worked 8 12-hour shifts in a row (which ended Tuesday morning), I've been feeling rather lazy. I stayed home the entire day, with one very small exception...

Because of Monday's storm, and the resultant loss of electricity, I was forced to disconnect my garage door opener in order to get my car out of the garage and go to work. My fiancee decided to try to reconnect it when the power was restored, but things went sideways, and the garage door was stuck closed for 2 days, with my fiancee's car trapped inside. Our landlord was able to get the door opening and closing, but a part is required to get the opener working again. That being the case, my lovely has elected to park her car on the road until the garage opener is working again. 

We have "odd even" parking in our city, which means that you're allowed to park your car on the street overnight, as long as it's parked on the correct side of the street. If the date (before midnight) is even, you park on the side of the street with the even-numbered houses, and vice versa if the date is odd.

I explained all that to tell you this: My fiancee parked her car on the wrong side of the street. So, before 2am (when odd-even enforcement starts), I ran out, wearing the LulaRoe Julia dress and white sheer nylons I had been wearing all night, and moved her car from the even side to the odd side. 

Wow! What a long-winded way to say I walked out to the street and back. LOL! 

Friday 7/31/26:

I woke up an hour early and ran to the local Walgreens, to pick up a prescription and to find a decent mascara, as I'd lost the Dollar Tree mascara I bought last week. I suppose it's for the best. A person shouldn't wear $1.25 mascara, or any $1.25 makeup, anyway.

So I walked out to my car, still parked on the street, wearing a blue and gray LulaRoe Julia dress, nude pantyhose layered over hot pink holdup stockings, and a hoodie, then drove to Walgreens, where I picked up my prescription without a problem (as usual) and spent more time than necessary looking at mascara. When I found one I quite liked, I walked to the checkout, paid for it and went back home, where I walked back into the house, tried on the new mascara (loved it), then jumped in the shower to get ready for work. 

This Week's Outings, 7/19/26

Sunday 7/19/26:

I woke up today wearing the same Noosh seamless tights (in the shade "storm") from yesterday, and a leopard-print nightie. I threw on a pair of black patent 4" heels and sat on the front porch for about 10 minutes while my dog did her outside business.

Not every day can be a crossdressing adventure, but I can try to be visible a little bit every day.

Tomorrow, Monday, 7/20/26, is a work day. I may or may not wear panty, bra and nylons under my work clothes (leaning toward "may"), but I plan to make some sort of public appearance before getting ready for work. I'll keep you posted! 

Monday 7/20/26:

Before heading off to work, I slipped into a lovely black mesh bra and my customary Monday hosiery (blue, for Blue Monday), then pulled on my work clothes over it all and went to work. I wasn't able to have any kind of public outing, due to my fiancee being home and awake. But off to work I went, in my panties, bra and blue pantyhose!

Tuesday 7//21/26:

Upon arriving home from work, I ditched my drab work clothes and slipped into a spectacular blue floral LulaRoe Cici (dress), then went outside and dragged my trash cans in from the curb. Public outing, check! I was pleased to see that my Shein order was delivered yesterday, and I'll be very happy to try on the romper I know is inside that package, to sleep in today (with pantyhose under it, of course).

Wednesday 7/22/26:

I don't have much to report today. I got home from work, stripped off my boring work clothes, down to my panties, bra and white sheer nylons, pulled on a pair of pink capris and a t-shirt, then let my pup out and sat on the porch while she took care of her business. So I guess that counts as an outing. I'll make it up tomorrow, scout's honor...

Conclusion:

Wow! I guess daily updates only work if you do them...daily.

Sorry I haven't been updating.

The rest of the week was pretty standard stuff -- sitting / standing on the porch in a dress and nylons, waiting for the pup to finish sniffing and whatnot.

I'll try to do better next week! 

Awesome Find

Did you know about rompers? If you did, and didn't tell me, shame on you!

I order from Shein quite often.  For the most part, their selection of women's attire is affordable, decently made and fits well (if you order 1 size up). The only exception is their hosiery, which is gorgeous, silky and feels great, but falls down, regardless of the size I buy. Being an insatiable nylon nerd, it breaks my heart, but life must go on...

Lately, I've been buying sleepwear from Shein, and I'm quite happy with the nighties and sleep shirts. Aside from the tags, which are huge and impossible to rip off, they're very comfy and look great. I slept in one today, a pink leopard print baby doll. So comfy!

Anyway, long story long, I saw a romper I thought was cute, so I bought it. It arrived with a shipment yesterday, and I didn't wear it to bed, because it's a one-piece garment with no opening in the crotch, and I get up to use the bathroom at least once every night, so....who wants to take a romper completely off just to pee, then put it back on?

When I woke up, I was anxious to try on the new romper, and I did. Holy cow, I'm in love! This thing is extremely comfortable, fits me perfectly, and the legs are just long enough to cover the control top of my pantyhose (yes, I'm a pantyhose freak and I wear them 24/7). 

In case you want to check out the romper, or possibly buy one for yourself, click this link. I don't get any kind of commission, so no pressure. I'm off to shop for more of these!

The romper I bought (and I'm wearing now) is pink with gray leopard spots. I couldn't find a photo of it because this color and size is sold out. But it looks just like this one, in pink.

Also, I'm not the person in the photo wearing the romper. My God, to have those curves...
