Member-only story
Many years ago I frequented a wholesale coat store which seemingly carried an endless inventory of women’s coats including many in my size. Which was rare.
I used to make the store a regular stop on my circuit of favorite places to haunt looking for a coat I could not afford. Even at the store’s sale prices, finding one would still be a struggle. One day I was there was an extra special day when I saw and then slipped into a powder blue wool lined three quarter length coat. Once I tried it on, it was lust at first sight. It seemed to fit in perfectly with my honey blond shoulder length wig I was so fond of.
The problem I had was one of the usual ones many of us encounter as novice cross dressers or transgender women have. And, where is the money coming from for our new fashion discoveries and would the new fashion really be worth it in the long run. At that time, I was still struggling to hide any extra money I could from my wife who was a trained book-keeper and kept track of our finances. If I was going to my usual thrift store, it was easy to hide my limited expenditures from her and not be afraid of making a huge fashion mistake. If I did, I could simply take the item back and let someone else make the same error without losing much money in the process.
