I didn't go out on that dress other than late at night since, but I got caught by family in a satin blouse, leather skirt and big satin bra outside. I got rI'd of everything after that so had to start collecting again

When you first start going out in a dress, it's a good idea to do it late at night. There are way fewer people on the street to deal with. After a while, you get used to those confused looks and long stares, and your confidence goes up.

Personally, I have started with short trips downstairs to the letter box late at night. After a year, I'm now pretty comfortable going out in a satin dress. I have even gone out a couple of times during the day. Though those trips are obviously much more intense.

Anyway, here is me in one of my favorite satin dresses. Soft, shiny and very smooth :D

Oh yeah, if you are trying to avoid family, that's another story...

For me, I don't have to avoid family. They know. But I'm sometimes a little concerned about people taking photos of me. There is this horrible website in Singapore, where people upload photos of whatever they find strange or amusing. The worst part is that most of these photos are taken without the knowledge of the people in them!

Today, I did something I've never done before: I wore a satin blouse to a crowded mall in broad daylight :D

A first highlight came when a lady told me that she likes my shirt.

Another highlight was when I went to H&M (I got my satin blouse from a different H&M store). I looked around and realized that the same blouse in a smaller size fits me too. So I bought that blouse as well. Essentially, I bought a satin blouse in store while wearing the same style :)

Of course, I had to take a selfie to remember this trip:

After the uneventful outing a couple of weeks ago, I upped the ante slightly today. I wore a pussy-bow satin top to the supermarket. The highlight (both literally and figuratively) of the day came when the sun shone directly into my car, giving the satin an irresistible shimmer. Of course I had to take a selfie at that moment :)

Another week, another adventure.

This time I wore my satin top to work! Not to my home office, but to a side office of my company close to my home. There were some stares and some bemused smiles, but it went mostly well all in all. All those annual mandatory harassment trainings do have an effect on people I guess :)

They are from a brand called "Black Label by Evan Picone". There are quite a few different variants floating around the second-hand markets. I personally feel that the sky blue one made in China has the best fabric.

Another major milestone: I wore my white satin blouse/shirt to my home office with many colleagues who work closely with me.

It went as well as I could have hoped. Some didn't even notice it. Some gave it a good look, but didn't say anything. A chatty colleague asked me if I was going to a special event after work with the fancy shirt :lol:

The way things are going, I'm going to add some satin tops to my everyday wardrobe :)
