Hiding in plain sight

My last post was about deprincessing when having to be one's 'official' self but, as it happens, I have been bolder in presenting in a less overtly masculine way today. 

I'm staying with a relative and had my third Covid jab at midday. But my grey jeans, shoes, top and hoodie are all from the womenswear racks (and my underwear is no-one's business but my own). My nails are mid-length and coated in clear varnish. Nothing's obviously feminine but I know it is and this feels right to me. I may be dressed a little young for my age, perhaps, but that's another matter. (Bah, who wants to be a grandma anyway?)

I had a bit of a reaction against the last dose of Covid vaccine I had in September so I'm taking it easy for the next day or two just in case it happens again, but as I happen to be in Milan, a fashion capital, I hope to get some time to look for bargains in the gorgeous shops.

A short post, I know, but time to myself is a bit limited when I'm not in my own home.

Stay safe out there.

  1. I hope you start to feel better soon, Sue. Hopefully it's just a mild reaction.

    1. Thanks. I didn't write very clearly. I intended to say that my second jab (in September) had caused a reaction, not this week's third one. I'll clarify the text. Sue x

  2. Hope you're doing OK now...and having a good time "however you present!"

    Hugs, Mandy

    1. Thank you, Mandy. I'm OK and, as with the comment to Lynn above, I wasn't very clear in what I wrote so I am rewriting that bit. Sue x
