SISSY CHALLENGE 3, HOLD-UPS REPORT part 1

On paper this might seem like an easy task and for some of you I am sure it is, probably not a challenge at all. For me it was quite the opposite. First I would like to say that being married and keeping my sissy side a secret can be a real obstacle as well as organising to go out. I want to go out more so that when I want some sissy time it will seem more normal to my wife that I am just going out to see friends, music or whatever.

To complete  the task I would have to go shopping, I work in the town next to the town where I live and I know lots of people in both towns so even shopping can be fraught with danger. I decided that shopping at lunchtime would be easiest and I have visited Primark a few times and knew they had a great lingerie section. I skipped my lunch with my colleagues (told them I had a couple of errands to do) and headed into town, first stop was Primark and I went straight up the stairs and into the fabulous girly underwear section. There were a few ladies browsing the clothes and I walked up the knicker isle and down the tops isle but no tights, stockings or hold-ups to be seen. I ventured all the way into the ladies clothes (saw a few nice items) and into the kids section. Still no hold-ups!

Back down the stairs I went and then noticed that the ground floor had the hosiery section, silly me I missed it!  From a distance I could see the plastic model legs displaying the various stocking material, fish-net, glossy, high denier etc so I knew I had found my section. There were 2 whole racks of tights, stockings, pop socks, shaper and all manner of things, I browsed it all, my heart was beating fast, I felt hot and bothered but I wanted to be a good girl and complete my mission.

I checked the hold-ups section and no white at all, I flicked through all the hanging boxes to make sure, so what next? The natural ones looked just normal, they had fashion ones with 3 rings at the top but I thought the glossy lace topped ones were by far the sexiest. I read the back of the box to check the size, 6 foot tall, size 14, makes me XL, well there were no XL so I went L. I took my purchase up to the desk (I did not have a basket) and within a minute I was handing over my cash. Then I was asked by a nice young man if I want a bag? Now why did I not think of that before, I would need a bag so I accepted a small paper bag with Primark printed on it.

After that excitement I decided to go back up the stairs to the lingerie and take a couple of pictures to show my boyfriend (not sure I am allowed to call him that yet but for the sake of my report I will!) what it was like and where I had been.

Then I was back into the town centre with my gay little Primark bag swinging in my hand. After buying some fuses for the car (boring) I went back to work safe in the knowledge that part one was done and now just needed to wear them and show them.

SISSY SHOPPING SUCCESS

My heart was pounding just walking into the town centre knowing what I was going to do. I felt excited and scared all mixed together. As I entered Primark I clocked where the pleated skirts were, quite near the door which was a shame as anyone passing the doors might glance in and I now plenty of people in the town during a lunchtime.

First I went to the boys PJ section as I needed to buy some for my son, it really helped having a proper job to be doing while in the shop. Once I got them then I looked for Christmas socks, it was good cover for the lace topped socks I wanted to get. After a walk round the shoe/hosiery section I found the socks, bit small but only £1 worth a try, might look cute over black stockings and in my heels.

Then came the big test, back though lingerie (I had to as that where the escalator is!) mmmm lots of nice bra's! Down to the skirts, green/blue checks or the grey and red line checks. I went for the one with the red as would match my blazer. I had to sort through the rack to find a 16 which looked about right, not too big. A couple of young ladies had a bit of a giggle while I was checking the sizes but I felt ok with my shopping list in my hand.

Then I went back upstairs to the customer service to take back a bra for my wife. It was empty which was fine by me, the assistant came over and I showed her the receipt for the bra and told her I wanted to buy the PJ's, skirt and girly socks. While she sorted them I noticed the skirt was actually a size 12 on a size 16 hanger (oops school girl error) so I asked if I could change it, no problem she said and had a look on the returns rack and said she only had a 20. So off I went down the escalator again, into the ladieswear, hunt for the skirt, bottom shelf at the back. The 16 looked big so went for the 14, a few more stairs from the ladies, then back up to customer services and there was a queue! Two ladies and a young man, so I stood at the back nest to the man and his jeans with my short pleated skirt in hand. The man turned to me and said "I think she is waiting for your skirt" pointing to the desk. Sure enough, I went forward and she took the skirt folded it and popped it in the bag. I paid for them, signed the return and was out of there all red faced and flustered but what a buzz!

Back at work I sneaked out to the toilet and went into the cubicle, dropped my trousers and tried the skirt on, it fitted snugly, sits high on my hips which keeps it short and the lining is delightful. Cant wait to model it. I snapped a picky with my mobile and changed back. Yeah for my girly power!

WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING

Why is it that I have been ignoring my blog? I must try harder and keep it updated with my thoghts, ideas and experiences. I suppose my other outlets like pinterest and tumblr are so mch easier to update but not as personnal as on here. This is the real me, the feelings, the heart and soul.

I am so looking forward to December dress day, I will be buying a new skirt for the occasion. My plan is that I have to retunr a bra to Primark and buy some PJ's so while I am in there I will look at skirts. I am after a pleated short one in burgandy or grey, anything that is a bit schoolie. I will have a list with me to make it looks like I am on an errand. If it goes well then I might do  it more often.

Size is a problem, am I 14 or 16, I can never tell.
