This friend who worked in films also offered to let me keep my stuff at her place. It took time but by the end of shopping experience, I had forgotten about the discomfort I had in the beginning. So, the friend who was with me jumped in and made things easier. For first fifteen minutes of discomfort and awkwardness, she could tell I wasn’t so keen and looked distracted. However, this time - the saleswoman knew. We pretended as if my college friend is buying it for herself. While buying clothes with my college friend I wasn’t so conscious as we didn’t let anyone know that the clothes were for me. We went to a local beauty shop, and she guided me with the things I might need. Surprisingly, she asked me if I wanted to buy new makeup set because I have already shopped for clothes a month before. I’m sure she was pretty exhausted by the end of the day, but she didn’t complain.Īround same time in November 2016, I matched with this girl on Tinder. A female friend from college came with me for an entire day, and we shopped for an entire day. I also ended up buying close to five wigs of different hair lengths. So, it was mix batch of traditional Indian outfits and western. I researched - figured out different styles.
Not one outfit, not two - but around 6-7 outfits. Three years after that, I decided to give it a try again. I had purged all the girly stuff in 2013. Somewhere around October 2016, I bought new stuff all over again. Close to four years I didn’t write anything.
Sharing this blog with someone reminded me that it’s been long time since I haven’t written anything.
