Recently I’ve been going out dressed again on a fairly regular basis - in the daytime - doing normal stuff. The main purpose is to build up my confidence and interacting skills again. Skills I had lost during my lengthy hiatus.
Since starting out, I have been reviewing my wardrobe versus those of the women I pass in the street. My first reaction was that generally I was over-dressed. Most women dress fairly casually – some smart casual but casual and those who are more formally dressed are generally office workers, bank employees or chemist shop girls. Only a relatively few women wear dresses or skirts but, of course, I knew this beforehand I’m not so naïve.
Nevertheless, my personal preference is to dress up. Always in a classy dress or skirt suit or skirt and top, never in pants and never in jeans – in fact I would find no joy in going out casually dressed. I think I pass reasonably well but I’m sure I don’t pass 100% of those who see me or interact with me – but my attitude is, and always has been, that I never want to look androgynous. Also I like to think if I fail to pass those who read me will at least be impressed by my style.
I think if I were living full time as a woman my attitude towards dressing up would be quite different and blending in would seem more comfortable but I get enough casual time in male mode. In fact in male mode I actually prefer to be fairly non-descript wearing navy continuously and avoiding male dress ups – a perfect candidate for “Queer Eye…”.
However I am struck by the notion that my dressing habits are very tranny. But then I am a tranny and, in the dressing sense
But how do you dress in daytime? Like Miss Girl Next Door or Mrs Average Housewife? Or do you dress like an up to date version of Joan Collins from Dynasty? Or if you haven’t ventured out yet how would you prefer to dress?

I am quiet but I am thinking. I am silent but don't mistake me for a stone.
