$5 Fashion Shoot – Dress Two

The entire afternoon stuck me as simply natural. Way back when, putting on anything female felt different. Way, way back when, it was titillating. Then it became something different, but not “normal”, not meaning abnormal, just not the usual to me. Now it is like breathing.

It would take me paragraphs to explain how my things are stored, where they are, the access to other pieces that are not mine (my wife’s), so this may not make any sense. But once I selected my lingerie that would work with six different dresses and did my makeup in a neutral fashion, it was almost without thought that I put on each dress. My mind immediately went to the right shoes, the right purse and my accessories and where they were located in our home. Then without thought, I would grab the tripod and move to different areas of the house to create different looks, angles. You will certainly see these dresses being worn in the wild, but the looks will be completely different. The accessories different. This day, walking and wearing shoes for an extended period of time wasn’t necessary. Real women in real situations do have to consider that in selecting shoes for an outfit. The ease with which my mind now switches between my regular life to my female life has been a revelation!

Here is the second dress. I previously mentioned having poison ivy this day. You can see some of it on my shoulder, along with my lipoma, the lump on my shoulder. Not great, but it’s me. Also of note on this day, I weighed in for the first time in years under 160 lbs. I have now begun daily (or frequent) running to train for my goal. This day it was near 90 degrees, and I played 2 1/2 hours of pickleball, then ran four miles. While you do see some wine, it was only two glasses over six hours and after our vacation, it will be eliminated principally from my life (not completely but cut WAY back). Once the poison ivy heals, it will be bikini time!

The dresses are being rolled out here in the order I wore them. This was a $5 JCPenney clearance purchase.
