Small victories go a long way toward building your confidence.Ā IF anything, itās the small victories that allow you to have a little fun while maintaining some sanity.
Going out somewhere dressed in girlsā clothing is not something that I do frequently without any care in the world.Ā Iāve been out androgynously with my wife in secure locations or when out of town.Ā This usually means all girl clothing, but you might have to look hard to really tell.Ā These are moment of small confidenceā¦and theyāre fun too, for both me and my wife.
Itās a rare occasion when I step out in such girliness by myself in public spaces.Ā I know, I can be kind of a coward like that.Ā But hey, we live in a small town and small towns talk about odd sights.
On Saturday night, after a long day working in the yard, my wife, Jenny, decided she wanted a glass or two of wine while watching a movie at home together.Ā So I went out late to the local big chain pharmacy (i know, not the best wine available, but theyāre not all bad).Ā Anyway, I decided to be just a tad adventurous.Ā I already had on panties and bra and didnāt want to discard those options.Ā I slid on a pair of my womenās jeans and one of my wifeās tank tops.Ā I layered it with a scoop neck womenās shirt of my own and then slid on a pair of my keds without socks.Ā Just for the fun measure, I also slid on some of my wifeās leather bracelets.
Of course, I had to pass my wifeās inspection.Ā As Iāve noted before, she is more cautious than I am and I always honor her insight.Ā She gave me somewhat of a sideways glance and that funny little smile that drives me nuts.Ā But she approved partially, saying that I looked a little too girly.Ā Considering the time at night though, she sent me out without asking that i make any change to my appearance.
I was a little nervous, but not too bad.Ā The drugstore was just down the street and there were only a few shoppers in the place.Ā No one paid a lick of attention.Ā Or if they did, nothing mattered them. The clerk at the counter was a non-issue.Ā He was just doing his job.
I returned home and we enjoyed the movie and wine together after the kids went to bed.Ā Of course, I eventually changed into something a little more comfortable (if you know what i mean).
You donāt have to go all out to find your confidence, even if thatās what you really want.Ā Sometimes, you just need a little fun and adventure, no matter how minute it might be.Ā So, have fun and take your victories when you can.Ā If youāre like me, then you may not have the best opportunities to dress and go out.Ā Just find your moments and enjoy them, especially if you have someone to share in your experiences.
