This past weekend was tax-free shopping in the Carolinas; so I decided to use that as an excuse for another outing. I decided then to go to South Carolina (Greenville) as there is a mall there which has a Macy's which is the closest one to me. I was in Greenville only one other time a few weeks ago but still not too familiar with it. Thus last Saturday was a perfect opportunity to go again and explore.
I wore some Bermuda shorts (multi-colored) and a cute pink top paired with sandals for during the day. On the way down there I stopped at a produce stand to get some peaches and blueberries. The guy there who waited on me didn't seem to mind that I was en-femme. He even called me ma'am which was nice to hear.
I then went to Haywood mall and did most of my shopping there. First though I went to Macy's and got my wife a black Alfani dress (she asked me to get her one as she likes Macy's too). I asked the sales lady there to help me pick it out for my wife. She was very helpful. I then went to the ladies shoes department and asked the sales lady to help me pick out some shoes for my wife (size 9) to match that dress. Again she was very helpful like the first sales lady. Unfortunately though they didn't carry my shoe size.
Next I then browsed the jewelry section and found some things that I needed. I discovered to my delight down here that Macy's sells clip-on earrings (which were always hard to find up North). The young girl there was very helpful in helping me pick out some earrings and trying them on. I asked her opinion on some and ended up finding 4 pairs which I loved. She was very friendly and told me to come back anytime.
I also found a place near Macy's in the mall and had my necklace repaired. Again the people there were nice to me. In talking to them, later on they even told me a name of a dance club in Greenville that I could go to. I asked if Greenville were safe to go around and they said for the most part yes.I then went to NY & Co and found some cute tops and a couple of pencil skirts which I tried on. I even asked the sales lady there what she thought of each outfit I tried on in the dressing room (stepping out to model clothes for her). She said the skirts fit me perfectly and the colors of the tops matched my make-up.
I also drove to other stores nearby the mall just to browse. I found this one store where I found some cute sandals that my wife would like; so I got them for her.
At the end of a very productive day I then went to dinner at the Bonefish grill. Again a pleasant experience! The waiter there even called me ma'am.
After dinner (when it was dark) I decided to wait until another day to go to the one dance club. I decided instead to go to this Lesbian place I found online called Sugar Shack. I changed into my black and white skirt with another pink top I had picked out from NY & Co earlier and paired this look with peep-toe shoes. I then went to the club and talked to a couple of the Lesbians there (one was the owner). They seemed nice. I explained to them that I am still kind of new to the area and just looking around. They told me of some other activities there for their community. They told me their place also has a lot of mainstream crowd that sometimes go to it. This place was not crowded this particular night but she said most Saturdays it is. I will definitely come back again but also next time will look into the other dance club place (called Castle) I was told about at the mall.
At about 12:30 I then left back for home. All in all it was a great day!
