The Basics

Stephanie Higgins · Post by **Stephanie Higgins** » Sat Dec 27, 2003 3:30 am

Hello I am not new to crossdressing but I dont have my own clothes I still use my mothers and I dont think that she likes the idea and personally I dont like the idea of dressing like my mother (not a MILF) and I was wondering if I could find the basics that I need like a few bra and panty set.

At this moment I should ask for much else but trust me the list is a mile long and little me with the courage of the cowardly lion will not go out in public quite maybe when I turn 18 I dont know but I need some of my own stuff until I get up the courage either to have a friend buy some stuf for (that requires telling them) or I go out and buy some myself (I think that they are in order by the date they will happen).

Please give me some hints where I can get some stuff online that doesnt require a credit card because I dont have one.

Or list some stuff that you are willing to part with for a ::shrugs and acts cut:: dear friend (namely me)

Thanks for all the help
Stephanie

P.S. I love the brackets if you cant tell

Stephanic, I am surprised your mother puts up with it unless she doesn't know. I know when I was 14 or so and my mother caught me dressing in her cloths she raised the roof to hell and back. The next payday she got me a set of my own stuff and was told don't wear my cloths. Carol Ann

My mom doesnt like me wering her clothes either but she thinks that it is a risk to buy stuff for me because my dad doesnt know yet and we dont need or the courage to tell him yet. Lately she has been leaving hints that if I dont get my own clothes that I wont get anything all this while she is slowly taking her stuff back.

Signed

Hi Stephanie,

E-bay might be good for you?

I think your mom taking back her clothes is a good thing. You'll be on your own soon, so perhaps she's starting to prepare you for this very odd phase of a CrossDresser's life.
(that's like totally a guess!)

Stephanie,

How about buying gift certificates at the store location and using them to purchase your on line items?

Just a thought....

Lefty

P.S.- look for stores that have free shipping over a certain purchase amount

That's what is so nice about having SO's on this forum. They can help us to be sneeky too! Good one Lefty I never would have thought of that either.

You're welcome Nancy....

It's not sneaky though it is just an easy way to pay on-line without using their credit cards....it's actually a good way for kids or people without credit cards.

My SO uses his own cards to purchase on-line stuff or walks into the stores and just gets whatever he wants.....he's very comfortable that way.

Just a thought, why not just give your mother some money and go shopping with her one day. You pick (or indicate somehow that you want to buy the item) and she pays.

Hi Lisa,

Another very good point!

For those who are in the closet though, the "Lefty Principle" is still probably the best idea I've ever heard.

Is there a reason why you can't go with your mom though Stephanie?

Or better yet ask your mom if she would like to borrow some of her things back? Just kidding. So buy her a gift card and ask her to take you with when she goes shopping to give you some tips on how to shop?

My mother is a bit of a pesimist and she thinks the worst of everything and to add to things she is overprotective. That is the main reason, but Im a baby steps person. I cant jump that far yet plus I think that my father would notice if we walked in with bags full of clothing that my mother wouldnt wear.
But maybe if my father goes out of town for awhile I can try it.

Thanks for the great ideas
Stephanie
