Took Another Shopping Trip Again

I guess it's true when they say it's easier each time you do it. I first went to the lingerie/adult store and looked around. The same girl who checked me out last time was there. I looked around at all the store departments and finally decided to get this cute white babydoll. Right when I was making sure I didn't want something else some old guy who probably owns the store tried to help me out. He asked me if it was for my wife or girlfriend. Let's just say I didn't tell him the truth.

So I check out and decide to head down to the mall. It was early so there would be less people. So walk in the side where I always go and near it is Victoria's Secret. I was kinda worried because it's my town and someone might notice. Even if you get checked out without being seen, you still have to carry the bag all the way to your car, and everyone knows what VS bags look like even though this one was a different colored holiday theme I think.

So I take a look around me as I walk down to VS. Don't really see anyone I know. So I decided to say "what the hell" and barge on in. First people I see are the sales girl (who was pretty hot and had a nice skirt on) who was helping out a guy and girl. She was asking them if they needed a size fit, and she agreed and went off the dressing room.

So I take a walk around I'm dissapointed by the lack of cute babydolls and chemises around me. Though I did see a french maid teddy thing that was ultra cute, but it was too expensive. So since I didn't see anything I wanted within price range I decided to get some panties since I could use some more, but then again that's always my excuse. I ended up getting 2 bikinis and 3 thongs from the VS undies collection. Good thing they have little drawers to sort this stuff out by size.

I end up taking my panties in hand and look for one of the sales girl. The one who eventually checked me out kinda scared me because for a moment I thought I knew her, but as I got closer I could tell I didn't.

I check out and get the bag and hurry to my car. I luckily didn't see anyone I knew or at least I don't think so. So I get in the car and head home.

Sad thing is that they're still in my car I have to go get them when my mom leaves for work. The good side is that VS is giving out special cards that will give you 10 to 500 dollars off any purchase Dec 1 to Dec 24. So I'l be back on Dec 1 either online or retail and I'll have a heart attack if I got one of the 500 cards. Can't imagine how much lingerie that could buy me :D

Malls can be very intimidating at first but they do hold a lot of nice shops!

You will reach a point where it is easy to walk in and buy what you need without any fear at all.

Love ya,

Lingerie... I would spend all day shopping for it if I had the courage to enter a store like Victoria's secret...not to mention, the MONEY. My wardrobe is malnourished due to a lack of money.

Congratulations on being brave like that though! My therapist once told me that the things that can get you are things that happen that are UNEXPECTED. Like, a nice sales person asking you if you have found everything alright. Even positive things that are unexpected can be very startling.

In conclusion, good going girl!

it's scary but once you get in there, it's not so bad. Especailly since (at least mine) had a lot of the store blocked off by walls so I was able to pick panties out with practically nobody around. Too bad they had most of the sexy store near the front door.

I still can't wait to see that little Secret card's discount amount. It's worth at least ten dollars which makes me want to buy even more VS stuff since you get one with every purchase.

Hi Amy :)

Yes, lingerie is fun to buy. Gosh do I know. You know what is just so wonderful wearing with your panties? Dresses, skirts, blouses, shoes!!!

VS has just wonderful skirts and dresses too. Also their pants are awesome. Believe it or not, but a nice fitting pair of women's slacks really is a wonderful feeling.

HUGS

Up to a few months ago I could only dream of going into stores like that. I used to dream all the time, but I would always be too scared to go into it. Then eventually during one dream, I managed to go into a lingerie store, and as soon as I got in looking around and picked up something, my mom came in the door of the store.

Good thing that never happened in real life.

Now that I have gone into stores like that, I've never had those dreams anymore.

Well, I went ouit shopping to pick up some stuff like female razors, makeup, and stuff to make me look more girl like and did not feel scared or anything. But then of course I used the self checkout line which was a big help where there was no one checking me out and I did not feel self consincense.

But well talk to you all

      This will head for a court case and the notable fact that the people opposing puberty blockers is that they have not revealed their source and its competence.  It will be present the evidence and let your "experts" sit on the grill above the hot coals.

      Pretty typical for many nations.... corrupt police, and only great effort by the victim's family will eventually yield prosecution.  Conviction is uncertain, and sentencing even more so.

      Welcome to Trans Pulse, Bobbi.  It's nice to meet you.  I remember well all the emotions you mentioned upon starting on this journey, about 15 years ago now.  It's an exciting, albeit scary time, and there will be many questions and decisions along the way.  Any way we can help, all you need to do is ask.  We'll be here for you.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      Everyone is their own person and has their own way of operating in the world. Being “enough” isn’t for anyone to judge, outside of maybe our closest loved ones, and definitely not those that are trying to measure themselves high by cutting others down. They know I wouldn’t succeed for very long—or at all—keeping my life bifurcated as you, but I am happy you are content with where you’re at with yourself.

      My kids are grown now.  I realize I don't know the half of what they did.  But my parents didn't know the half of what I did either.  It's just how it works.   You kinda know, but please spare me the details.

      @MaeBe, Good luck and best wishes on the new start in the Great Northwest. I don’t know a parent that didn’t call out their kids for being drunk or high as rebellious teenagers. I just told my teens that they can’t kid a kidder, and I was a teenager early 1970s we could drink legally at 18 so I have tons of experience spotting drunk kids.    As for the poetry, I liked it.  We never have enough support bras or tee shirts in the rotation.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Oh my @KymmieL, I’m sorry you’re on the job hunt again. They didn’t seem to be a good fit for you anyway. You deserve to be treated fairly and not undermined by competing owners who don’t communicate well.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
