I bet I will get a lot more attention with that outfit than my standard denim skirts and wedge heel sandals, of whom very few people seem to notice.<br /><br />JohnHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-43456978180037094892010-07-01T17:17:04.941-04:002010-07-01T17:17:04.941-04:00When you come to the place in your life when you c...When you come to the place in your life when you can dress any way you want, any time you want, you will probably find you need to expand your casual wardrobe... Now that my partner has pretty much transitioned 99%, we find ourselves filling in the holes in her feminine casual wear.

Women need to be reminded that they have the gift of being overdressed at any location and still be accepted for their efforts and their beauty.Marianne Joaquinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-77983399865021099782010-07-01T01:09:51.399-04:002010-07-01T01:09:51.399-04:00From JohnH

And yes, I have taken to wearing sandals with 2 3/4 inch wedge heels. So it is possible for a person recognized as a MAN to wear skirts and heels. And once again, I much prefer to be addressed as SIR and not MA'AM.<br /><br />I think a lot of men have the transgendered mindset for the reason that men's fashions are so incredibly dull.<br /><br />To each his or her own. I simply like to press the fashion envelope while I retain the appearance of a man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-31027416420859992292010-06-30T21:24:17.568-04:002010-06-30T21:24:17.568-04:00Women dress up for special occasions.

However, a person dressing as man would not be able to overdress and fit in many situations. Men's formal fashions have devolved into the mandatory coat and tie attire. <br /><br />I have often thought that I would wear a formal dress instead of the coat and tie when going out to formal occasions by myself since I am <i> sick and tired </i> of that "bird" look. I firmly identify myself as a male and like to be addressed as "sir" instead of "ma'am" at all times.<br /><br />My father who is a retired Presbyterian minister wore clerical collars for formal occasions when he was young simply because he hated necktiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
