I had an interesting outing.
I managed to pick out the red suede skirt this morning so after work I changed from slacks to the skirt with a white long sleeved shirt and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos.
I headed for a Sam’s I don’t often use. The greeter seemed surprised when I walked in but recovered quickly. For the most part nobody paid any attention to me. Maybe it was the cart but very few people realized there was a guy walking around in a red skirt and boots, and if they just caught a glance, they would have registered female and let it pass.
At the checkout I got into a line with a young female register clerk. The folks (man and wife) in front of me didn’t say anything but I think the guy went back and took a cell phone picture. I was sure the clerk had seen what I was wearing so after she had rung up all the items I moved to where she could see me fully and said, “you know, a lot of folks don’t even notice.”
She gave me a puzzled look and then looked down and the look changed to surprise and she said, “and the reason is?”
“I just like to wear them.”
I got a nice smile and a thumbs up.
In the parking lot, I was putting my stuff in my car when the guy that was in front of me in the checkout line pulled up and said, “Can I ask you a personal question?”
“Sure.”
“Do you always dress like that?”
No, not all the time, but as often as I can.”
We bid each other a good afternoon.
On the way home I stopped at a gas station. This was a pay at the pump station so I got out and operated the pump. Again, no one batted an eye.
I figure it must have been the red skirt. Next 4th of July, I’ll wear it and the white shirt with my blue thigh boots.
