One of my rare outdoor shots. It is not often I have the courage to venture into the outside world dressed up as a woman but this photo captures one such moment. As I am very nervous about such outings and not having much confidence in my ability to pass as a woman I did not get very far on this afternoon.
It was very chilly so I had chosen boots and a woolen sweater but could still feel the cold winter air swirling around my legs as I could not resist wearing a skirt. I rather enjoyed the sensation if I'm honest. I adored being outside wearing makeup and a wig and loved the light touch of the longer hair blowing gently around my face in the cold winter breeze.
The light was failing by this point in the late afternoon so the picture was taken using camera flash which unfortunately is being reflected by the leather jacket I'm wearing. I was also going through a period of fake tan makeup, false eye lashes and glossy lipstick and painted nails. It was all rather delightful but I think I've now managed to move on from this somewhat 'overdone' look I was into that day.
