We all have a crossdresser wardrobe even though some are more extensive than others, beginners with a few items while old hands a closet full of goodies. I am in the full closet category for several reasons first I have been at it for a long time and second I have a real problem getting rid of stuff. You know its getting bad when you have pry the clothes apart with a boat oar so you can hang more stuff. Classic looks are what I prefer for my crossdresser wardrobe because they never go out of style and can be worn for decades. I shop daily but don’t buy that often just sort of cruising the internet looking for the perfect score. When I find something that works for me I but it immediately assuming the price is right. This week I found an awesome brown suede jacket that is perfect but $300.00 so I will circle like a shark and pick it up for $75.00 later in the year or next spring like the teal one below.
CROSSDRESSER WARDROBE DECISIONS
What got me thinking about my crossdresser wardrobe was a comment that I saw online from a lady that is getting ready to start packing for TG Rocktober which starts October 9th in Las Vegas. Anticipating questions as to why she was starting so soon she explained it was because she knew she would change her mind 5 or 6 times. I can really relate to that and I think most of will also I usually have crunch day when I have to stop screwing around and commit to what I am going to wear. Then I have to move on to shoes which is a whole other adventure followed by purses and finally jewelry. I typically lay everything out a day early for inspection by my wife whose taste in all things feminine is of great value to me. We have been doing it for so many years I usually get it right the first time.
A big part of my crossdresser wardrobe selections are based on what image I want to project to the public which is classy not trashy. That is what I am comfortable with not a judgement of others but rather “Different strokes for different strokes” as the saying from the 60’s goes. I dress for my own pleasure so rarely regret wearing something unless it was a poorly thought out experiment.
I don’t pass but I believe my crossdresser wardrobe style choices make me more acceptable out in public. Putting aside the fact that I am male dressed as female hopefully women appreciate my sense of style and maybe even consider it classy. Most people don’t approach you with compliments which leaves me wondering sometimes but when they do it is very rewarding. I hope that they are saying what others are thinking.

about not passing–1-if you do not receive any negative comments how can you be sure that in a few (some) (a number) of instances people just see you as a man?
2 Also-why are you adverse to softening your male voice when you come in contact with others? 3 Are you trying to assure that everyone reads you and for what purpose? Isn’t it safer to not be read?
I write this out of curiosity as you make a lovely female presentation
1. I can’t but not caring helps.
2. I am not adverse and have done it on occasion but only in rare circumstances when it made sense. Like when a business competitor is unexpectedly standing behind you and I need to escape and evade.
3. I am trying to insure that everyone that I come in contact with knows exactly what is going on so they can choose to engage or ignore me. That way any conversation that follows is honest and genuine. If I was to use my best Minnie Mouse voice then slip up and use my normal voice I am guilty of deception which is a negative. That does not send a good message to people and I always try to avoid any kind of negative environment. I intentionally go to classy places where things will probably neutral or positive. NEVER GOING TO SEE IN A BAR WITH 50 MOTORCYCLES OUT FRONT!
Finally, if I managed to not be read and some guy just was totally infatuated with me on the verge of all out lust then somehow discovered the truth about me, what comes next? Maybe the bartender whispers in his ear that he is talking to a dude in a dress which embarrasses him and is a negative. In my view most anyone in the establishment would honestly interpret my conduct as deceptive (NEGATIVE) and his innocent attraction to me (POSITIVE) which makes him a victim. That would put me in a negative position having to defend my motives instead of being up front in the first place. My voice is perfect man repellant and works every time without fail. Those that don’t care are looking to hookup so I tell them I am celebrating my 85th birthday that night and they go away.
