January Update

It's been an odd January so far. I feel a bit better than I did earlier on in the month and I guess things have evened out at work. I still feel snowed under though but I think it's par for the course.

I bought a nice top a couple of weeks ago but sadly it didn't fit that well. I have seen a dress though, maroon with white hearts on it, that I'm thinking of buying. I am a little worried that I seem to be purchasing stuff from the same shop. I was thinking today that maybe if I did go out dressed it would actually take some pressure off.i wouldn't be so worried about people 'figuring me out'. i would just be out there. Life is so short after all and it's not as though I have a family to worry about.

I do have some stuff built up that i want to write about, it's just finding the time to sit down and do it properly.

The Men Under The Influence

Just a quickie here. While searching for some photos to caption I came across some crossdressing pictures and via a couple of sites I came to this set of portraits.

Spanish photographer Jon Uriarte has taken a series of portraits of men dressed in the clothes of their girlfriends or wives in the couple's home. Looking through it, some of the guys look good and it's surprising how some of the outfits would not look out of place on a man walking down the street.

Here is the link to the set on Jon Uriarte's website The Men Under the Influence.

Overheard in London

I was out shopping in my lunch break yesterday afternoon and I was in one of the charity shops. Now, if I was to buy clothes from here then that really would be a feat as I would have to actually take it into work before taking it home but I digress. 

A man took a pair of trainers to the till and asked whether they were for a man or a woman. The assistant, a young man, said it didn't really matter as long as they fit and they were comfortable but also confirmed that they were for women. He advised the man to try them on anyway and he did. I don't know if he bought them or not. 

So not much there then but a small story that made me pleased. Coincidentally, I did once own a pair of girls trainers and wore them for a few years in my teens. I was unaware that they were for girls at the time and to be honest I'm not even 100% now it's just that a friend mentioned it to me. The only really girlie thing about them though was a few bit of lilac here and there. 

New Year's Resolutions

I'm really proud of my accomplishments last year. Not only did I buy new clothes but I even went into stores and bought them instead of going through the internet. I finally learnt my size and a little about my style plus I dressed in public once more. 

Hopefully this year I'll be attending a few more conventions but I need to be a bit more polished, not just putting things together at the last minute. Part of me is wondering whether I should go full girl at some point, do the proper wigs, make-up, falsies full works. There's also a part of me dying to just put on a skirt and walk done the street, see how it feels like for at least once in my life. Being British people would probably just look the other way and say nothing...or at least hopefully give me a sporting chance to run away before I get beaten up. 

I hope to also continue blogging and, much like last year, I would hope to post more but at least I managed to beat my record last year. I would also like to put some more original fiction on here including the piece I said I would last time but still haven't finished due to a brief interruption.  

Just had my first day back at work and it brought me down a bit. I'm really not sure how I feel about it anymore. My other great hope for 2016 is that I kick start my love life.
