I recently discovered that Nordstrom Rack stores have large sized women's shoes. They are not cheap. They are rather good looking, in my opinion.

I was very happy on the day when my wife said, "I cannot believe I am doing this... but, can I borrow a pair of your pantyhose?"

I've never had any problem shopping in a Cato store. I bought one of my favorite skirts in a Cato.

I was driving downtown on main street. I saw a person in a red dress. Something didn't look quite regular and I looked harder. It was a man in a dress. I looked at the face which was tilted down toward his phone. He had men's hair, no makeup, and a shadow of a beard. He had no sign of breasts. He wa...

I have only had one unusual event with TSA (in my 4 or 5 flights in a skirt). The X-ray detected something near top of one of my legs. They asked me if I would prefer to have a man or a woman search me. I chose and the man felt each of my legs and found nothing. They thanked me for being understandi...

These comments are in response to some previous questions: I own a few pairs of heels. I have not worn them recently. I feel rather self conscious in them. I am self conscious about how I walk when I wear them. Also, I am rather tall. I think I walk less like a farmer when I have on heels and theref...

What?!? I cannot go do my grocery shopping in heels! That would be unusual!



Thank you for the compliments.

Wow, it is kind of cool to to hear you guys saying you have heard of me! I started that blog just to record my stories so that I can go back and read them myself. I am not a blogger. I just record my stories when I have something to write down. I have tried to resist the temptation to promote my blo...

I went grocery shopping in a skirt! I wore a black, knee-length business skirt with a red top. I had on off-black pantyhose and flats. Everyone treated me with respect (at least when I was present). I shopped on every aisle and bought my family's groceries. It was an excellent outing! I often saw th...

I wear maxi skirts in the summer when I have some leg hair to cover up. In winter, I shave my legs. Then I wear shorter skirts.

Early on, I too was scared to death to be seen. Then I started going out in a skirt and I think I wanted to be seen. I would go shopping for skirts, etc. in a skirt. But that was about it. I no longer needed any clothes, but I would go clothes shopping in a skirt because that was my only "usefu...

jjjjohanne, do you think that some of the negative response from your earlier trips were due to your visible nervousness? I have had a co-worker tell me that one reason she thought I get so few comments is that I just carry on with business as if it's nothing at all to wear a skirt. I will give two...

I have had my greatest successes by adding layers. Normally a cardigan. I try not to dress like a grandparent. Right now, layering is very popular and there are a lot of options. So I do find a few. But again, I find cardigans look nice and hopefully decrease the emphasis on my shoulders.

There are two main "looks" that I have noticed: * The quick down and back to the face glance is very common these days. I think people with piercings, tattoos, weird socks, breasts, blue hair, etc. get this look too. * The look and then the lingering "I don't trust you" look is s...

I want to know: What you have found to wear on top that looks good with skirts? I have worn a couple of my men's tops with my outfits. However, I feel like they do not look good with a skirt. Perhaps I need to alter them to be more fitted. I find it VERY hard to find women's tops that look good on m...
