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:

Well, tonight's the big "First Thursday" GNO (Girls' Night Out). I haven't been in about 4 years. I'm not even sure if this particular event is being held every month anymore. The worst thing about that is the distance. It's about 45 minutes away by highway. So I'll drive the 45 minutes, show up at the venue, and wait to see anyone I recognize walk in before I muster up the courage to go in myself. 

I stopped going to these years ago, because of how blatantly political I saw them becoming. Personally, I'm completely tolerant of other people's political leanings, and expect the same in return, but to assume that we, as CD / TV people, are monolithic in our ideology is, quite honestly, insulting. Not every crossdresser is a flaming, bleeding-heart liberal, just like not every member of the US Armed Forces is a bible-thumping conservative. It's unfair to assume either, and I'd be much happier leaving political ideology at the door.

So I'm going to return to this event, in the hopes that the ideological pigeon-holing has ceased, and that I can spend a few hours visiting with people who share my interest in feminine expression. If that's not the case, the heels, wig and makeup come off in a damned hurry, and I drive the 45 minutes back home.

The outfit I have in mind consists of a red sequin dress, a smokey pink makeup look, a lovely blonde wig, hot pink stockings under glossy nude pantyhose, black chunky heels and light jewelry.

I'll try to take some photos (if I like how I look) and post them here tomorrow. 

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... 

This Week's Outings, 7/12/26

Sunday, 7/12/26:

I don't remember what I wore, or where I went. Exciting start to this new series!

Monday, 7/13/26:

I didn't wear anything feminine outside (or inside) today. Sorry to be so boring!

Tuesday, 7/14/26:

Today is a day off from work. Since I had no outings, and didn't even wear anything girly yesterday, I decided to wear my favorite blue pantyhose, with black panties, a black mesh bra, and a pretty blue, black and white tie-dye-ish swing dress. I normally like to wear blue nylons on Monday, but, as I've already admitted, I didn't wear any nylons of any sort on Monday, so I wanted to honor the weekly wearing O' the blue today. 

I only had one outing today, but it was extensive. First, I had an Amazon return to take care of, so I threw a gray hoodie on (I've found that people gasp less when they see me this way, as opposed to realizing that I'm wearing a dress. The hem of the dress and the very glaringly nylon-covered legs protruding from it are somewhat less off-putting when you can convince yourself that it's shorts, or some such thing. Anyway, the hoodie keeps the peace, so I rock it), and drove to Kohl's to make the return.

Apparently, Kohl's doesn't accept Amazon returns at the Customer Service counter anymore. Nope, you have to walk through the entire store, to the back corner, and interact with a store employee standing in the middle of the toy aisle. Anyway, I walked through the entire Kohl's store, twice, and headed back to my car.

Next, to Walmart, which is conveniently next door to Kohl's. My baby needs dog food. In and out with the dog food is no problem. With the exception of a poor woman whose kids decided to start screaming as she approached the checkout, Walmart was uneventful.

The next stop in the Tuesday outing took me to the eyeglass place where I bought my new glasses last Friday. The nose pads that came with them were hurting my nose, so I tried to replace them with a pair of soft pads I'd ordered from Amazon years ago. I was able to change one, but couldn't get the screw out of the other, so I figured the glasses place would be able to finish what I couldn't.

After standing at their counter for about 15 minutes, being gawked at by some old woman who couldn't keep her jaw off the floor, I was informed that they didn't have a screw that would fit with my pads, so they put on their version of "soft" pads, and out the door I went.

Next up was the Dollar Tree, to pick up some makeup remover wipes. I caught a few looks walking around the store, but things like that don't bother me anymore. Also, walking around Dollar Tree is a trap. Everything is cheap, so temptation is everywhere. I got my makeup remover wipes, but I also got a toenail clipper, a little mop thing for cleaning the inside of my car's windshield, a mascara and a 2-tone cream eyeshadow stick. All I wanted was the makeup wipes. Sheesh.

BTW, I tried out the cream eyeshadow stick shortly after I got home, and it isn't worth the $1.25 I paid for it. Oh well, I'm out $1.25, and had a new experience.

After Dollar Tree, I ordered lunch from McDonald's, for curbside pickup, and went home to eat my Quarter Pounder and drink a lovely Diet Dr. Pepper. I'm sure the guy (short, black guy, probably in his late 50's, with painted fingernails) saw my blue legwear, and more power to him if he did. Also, he's awesome for wearing nail polish to work. I wish I could pull that off...good on ya, my guy.

Wednesday 7/15/26:

Sadly, I wasn't in the mood to wear anything feminine, outside the house or otherwise. Someone has once again set fire to Canada, and my little corner of Wisconsin is engulfed in smoke. That sort of thing doesn't really inspire a person to dress up and flit about.

Sorry.

Thursday 7/16/26:

The wildfires continue to burn. I didn't venture out in any of my femme finery, mostly due to the fact that I worked 12 hours in this ridiculous heat and smoky haze, and just didn't have the time. However, upon returning home from work, I slipped into a panty, bra and white sheer nylons, and went outside to check my mail, which could be considered an outing, I suppose.

Tomorrow is another day, and the wildfires are still going to be burning, but I'll strongly consider wearing bra, panties and pantyhose under my "male" clothes at work. No promises, but if I don't, I'll likely slip into them at home and have some sort of outing. 

Friday 7/17/26:

Today I decided that enough is enough, and after 2 days of denying my sissy impulses, I went to work wearing bra, panty and nude pantyhose under my work clothes. What an incredible feeling that was!

Upon returning home, I exchanged my work pants and t-shirt for a sparkly silver Lula Roe Nichole dress, pulled a hoodie on over it and headed back out to the liquor store, to buy a bottle of my favorite whisky. 

So ends my public crossdressing for today, but fear not! I will venture forth in a dress again tomorrow, as sure as the sun will rise. 

Saturday 7/18/26:

We have, in the past couple years, been ordering our groceries online and picking them up at the store. The stores shop for the items and bag them up, then put them into the car, at no additional cost, so it's basically a no-brainer for the time and effort it saves us.

Anyway, I went to pick up our groceries wearing the same silver Lula Roe Nichole, sans hoodie, with Noosh seamless tights in the shade "storm" and black / pink Under Armour Ignite slides. I was only publicly exposed for about 30 seconds when I got out of my car to open the back door for the store employee, but I guess that still counts. 

A New Gimmick!

Every day, I challenge myself to appear in public, wearing pantyhose / tights / stockings and a dress or skirt, even if only for a few moments. It's a fun little game, and it has helped me be less nervous and shy.

It occurred to me today that I have no accountability mechanism in place for this daily challenge, so I decided that I'm going to blog about it.

It would be easy to just post a new blog entry every day, but I feel like that would become cumbersome for anyone reading the blog, so here's the plan:

Each week, I'll create a post, titled "This Week's Outings," with that Sunday's date. I'll do my very best to update it each day with what, when and where, just to remain accountable.

This will be the first week, and I'll probably start from today, since I don't quite remember what I wore on Sunday, or where I went in it.

So if that sort of thing interests you, please enjoy reading it. If not, you know what to skip now. The more you know... 

The Weekend

What? It's Wednesday? And weekends start on Saturday?

Pish posh.

At my job, we work a 2-2-3 swing. I just finished 2 days on, so now I get 2 days off. That's a weekend, no matter what day it starts on...

Anyway, since I get a weekend in the middle of the week, I've decided to do something with it. 

I have an eye exam scheduled for tomorrow. I will attend while wearing a pretty dress, glossy nude tights, a choker, and dangly earrings, along with my patent leather Mary Janes. If I'm feeling especially daring, I'll wear a choker, and apply a generous portion of mascara. If they're able to make my glasses the same day, I'll return in the same outfit to pick them up. Before that, I'll need to run to Wally World and pick up some food for my pup, in the same outfit, of course. If I find time, I'll stop by a thrift shop or 2, just to round out the day.

Friday, I have an appointment with my retina specialist, to receive another round of injections (directly in each eye), to which I'll wear my customary outfit -- a lovely dress with pink tights and my patent Mary Janes. I won't be able to wear any makeup to that appointment, but i can stop just short. Anyway, jewelry, nylons and dresses are perfectly acceptable on injection day, so I'll take full advantage of that. I'm also taking my aunt to breakfast before this appointment, as a show of gratitude to her for driving me to and from my appointment. I could drive myself there, but driving home would be a problem, as my eyesight is usually compromised to some degree after the injections. A couple times, I was completely blinded by the injections, for about half an hour. It was terrifying.

I've considered wearing heels to one or both appointments, but I think what I already have planned is plenty. There is no need to go over the top with the femme presentation.

Public Crossdressing Weekend (PCDW) is here! 

Who am I kidding? Every day off is a public crossdressing occasion! I'm addicted to the rush of it. I know people notice, and I'm certain they chuckle and talk behind my back, but I don't care. I love being out in the world as my authentic self.
