What to wear?
I’ve been out in public for a few years now, but I still feel like a total newbie. As I keep going out, I still struggle to figure out what to wear for different occasions. How do you decide how fancy to dress?
Most women have got this down pat because they do it over and over again. For them, it is just a part of getting ready to go out. So, how does a CD learn to do this? Pretty much the same way women do.
Consult
Sometimes women will be in a quandary about what to wear. What do they do? They ask their friends what they are wearing. I’ve found this works for me as well. I sometimes check with my GG friend Alicia or my CD friends as to what they are going to wear. A couple of recent examples.
Holiday Dinner
Our group had a holiday party at a local casual chain restaurant. For me, it was a battle between dressing up super fancy or going with the usual jeans and a simple top that you see women usually wear at this kind of place. JJ, being the fashionista that she is, leans towards going all out for these occasions. But then again, when out in public, JJ prefers to blend in rather than stand out. I asked Alicia what to wear and guess how she responded? Jeans, a top and flats. That’s pretty much what I ended up going with, too!
Seeing a Play
A bit more complex situation was when some of us went to a local theater to see the play Some Like It Hot. I’ve been to this venue before, but only in guy mode. The venue is very much a “See and be seen” kind of place. As a good CD, I did observe what the women were wearing. Unfortunately (?) there was a huge range of styles. Some very casual. Some very dressy. What should JJ wear? As I noted above, I tend to dress to blend in. But what does that mean for this event? You guessed it, I checked with my GG and my CD friends before deciding. In the end, I went with a very holiday dressy outfit.
