Macy's was amazing.  I found Carolina's office and she invited me in.  She has an accent so I had trouble understanding her at first.  She took me out to the floor and ended up in the men's suits.  Clearly a misunderstanding.  So, there in the men's section I had to say that I was looking for a women's suit.  Nice start!  So, we went upstairs and looked at some separates, Calvin Klein and others.  We picked out a couple in various sizes.  She added a couple of knit shells for under the suit.  We went back to her office where there are a couple of private dressing rooms.  She set me up but I was left wondering if I should get dressed and come out or not.  She clarified that by saying that she wanted to see.  The first jacket and shell were too small, which I showed her.  I changed to the larger jacket and shell and came out.  She played with it a bit in the sleeve and the legs were way long.  I had figured on getting a petite pants but had forgotten to mention it to her.  It then became obvious that she was talking about alterations.  So, she ran out to get the seamstress.  She was an older lady and did not seem at all bothered that I was standing there in stockings and a women's suit.  She made me put on my shoes and pinned up the pants and jacket sleeves.  It all went so quickly, and I had not tried on a skirt or heels yet!  So, I summoned the courage and asked Carolina whether the suit came with a skirt.  And, yes it did!  She ran out to get it as I pondered the idea of a lady seeing me in a skirt.  The suit was androgynous but the skirt was not at all.  I put it on and put my shoes on...and came out of the dressing room.  I said it fit well but the shoes were wrong.  Now we were on a roll.  After a few tries, she finally found a pair of black leather pumps with a 2" heel.  I was in heaven when they fit! And I was standing there in a skirt and heels, in front of a woman.  Wow, I've started to really come out.  After she checked me out she gave me her card and said I could call for another appointment any time.  I guess that she is cool with the whole thing.  I have to go back in 10+ days to pick up the jacket and pants.  I hope that I get to try them on.  I may wear the suit out into the mall.  I'd love to do that with the skirt but I am not sure that I am ready for that yet.  In any case, I think that I am going to need a dress right off....
