2010Undercover Girl
Getting out of the house without being seen, or at least without outing myself is becoming a major problem in my life these days, as I start to go out regularly during the day.
Today, I was wearing a high-waisted short teal blue denim skirt with sexy white stockings, a blousy white top and black riveted belt. The look was completed with my lovely Calvin Klein high-heeled boots.
The short, but exposed walk to my car in that outfit was bound to catch someone’s eye – after all, that’s part of the outfit’s appeal, isn’t it? Obviously, I had to do something about it. Taking needless and foolish chances is something I really should avoid, and though I assume I have gotten away with it in the past – you can never be sure – nothing is to be gained by taking this particular risk. (BTW, if I have been caught in the past, please would someone just tell me so that I don’t have to bother with this pretense!!)
Anyhoo, I don’t want to have to dress at some other location, and neither do I want to make a big production out of my concealment efforts, so today, I simply put on a long coat and pulled a pair of red loose-fitting boy pants over top of my boots and right up over my skirt.My intrepid disguise is pictured.
I resent even having to do this much – and looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t even see the slightest trace of a guy – I thought I looked rather fetchingly feminine despite the disguise.
But, I guess the point is that you actually have to look – it doesn’t jump out at you the way a sexy skirt and heels might…
…good thing I took the precaution today, after all… as I walked out the door, there was a bunch of people gathered just next door. They paid no heed, but it could have been different…

I know it may be easier said than done Janie…
But you should just be you.
And you seem to be doing just that!
And I admire you for that : )

I am fortunate, dear Janie, that we garage our cars and are able to slide into them from a private interior door.
This does not take away the risk, or pitter-patter extra heart flutter for that 1st crucial quarter mile up the road. We know and mostly like our neighbors, we recognize each others vehicles, and we wave hello.
Someday, I will no doubt be seen. More bridges ahead, always…
I do like your approach. Very sensible.

Great idea and you still look great! Another fun part of being a girl. You can “throw” something on that is really carefully planned.
That inner you is what really pulls it off though!
My neighbors have seen me many times i’m sure because of the way they look at me with this questioning look when I’m a guy.
I’m fortunate enough to be at the “so what” part of my life.
Also, I used to think I could fool people and they would not know me as me. That idea was blasted last New Years Day. Maybe you read the post on my blog.
At any rate, some of my closest friends know of Cyrsti and chose not to see her and that’s fine too! They don’t treat me any different.
You’re the best!
