I set up an appointment with a personal shopper at Macy's for tomorrow. I said that I was interested in buying a pant suit for work. And maybe a blouse and shoes. I then received a phone call from the lady, Carolina. I had a bad connection, she had an accent, and I was in my office. Not a good time to get personal. I answered her basic questions but I did was not able to really chat. So I sent her an email with my sizes and preferences. I told her that I wear a size 18 blouse and a size 10 pant buy that because my inseam is only 29 1/2 inches that I often wear petite with flats. She did not reply and after waiting a few days I sent her another asking whether she had received the first. She replied that she had not so I resent the first. I am now anxiously waiting for her reply. I hope to ask her about what I should wear tomorrow as I am very anxious about that too. I have more or less decided on black pants, the maroon sleeveless sweater and the tweed jacket. Clearly women's clothes to someone paying attention.
I also spent some time with a Estee Lauder on-line assistant yesterday discussing makeup, as Dan. She was very professional and gave me some information regarding a look that is not obvious. I need to stop and see Marcie to get the sheer foundation that she recommended. I can't wait.
So, I am hoping that Carolina gets some pretty bouses for me to try on. Something really fem. I won't be able to wear them as a guy but it would be fun to see how they look. And it would mean that she understands fully who I am. Same thing with shoes. I asked for flats but I am hoping that she has a least some short heels. And a skirt. Trying on the suit would be one thing....it can be seen as a guy's suit. But a skirt is absolutely fem. No ambiguity there. It would be so over the edge. Many people have seen me shopping in an womens clothes but only pants. Trying on a skirt for her would be an intense experience; I do not know if I could ask if she does not offer though. We'll see.
