Hello There,
As I've mentioned in my How I Started Dressing blog post, the first woman's clothing I wore was my mother's. Since then I've always had a massive amount of nostalgia for my favorite items in her wardrobe that I would regularly wear. My early experiences dressing in my mother's clothing have even influenced some of my current shopping trends. So naturally to say my mom's wardrobe has had a big impact on my life is an understatement.
Of course as a young man I had to sneakily find opportunities to wear her clothing, when my parents were out of the house. Although I've since moved out of the house, and acquired my own wardrobe, I've always looked back on my favorite items of my mom's wardrobe with fondness. Well recently I had a rare opportunity, I was at my parent's home and they were away for a few days. So I thought it might be a good opportunity to wear my mom's clothing one last time so that I could take some pictures and share my favorite items with all of you. So I figure I'll go item by item and share them with you and how they influenced me!
Floral Panties: Like with most crossdressers one of the first things I tried on were panties, and my mom always had a great selection of microfiber panties that felt amazing to wear. This was definitely what sealed the deal for my love of panties and to this day I prefer silky panties because of the early days of wearing my mom's microfiber bikini panties. I decided to model her pair of floral microfiber bikini panties since them were one of my favorite when I was younger.
Pink Bra: As I mentioned in my How I Started Dressing blog post, my curiosity about bras were the original reason I started crossdressing. Although my mom had several bras I frequently wore, one of my absolute favorites was her pink bra, mostly because of the color but also because it had some padding in it which helped to create the illusion of cleavage. Although many of my favorite bras were missing from my mom's wardrobe during my visit I was happy to at least find my old reliable pink bra there.
White Bra: Funnily enough as I was digging through her wardrobe drawers I stumbled upon the exact white bra that inspired my surprise bra blog post. So I had to put it on for nostalgia's sake. Sure enough it looks exactly like the one I bought!
Favorite Maxi Dress: There was always one singular item in my mom's wardrobe that was my favorite item to wear, and it was her long blue maxi dress. It was made of an extremely soft silky material, decorated with rhinestones along the bust, and felt satisfyingly heavy to wear. During almost every dressing session I had in my mom's closet I would just have to try the dress on. To this day I am so upset because I haven't found a similar one to put in my wardrobe!
Purple Wrap Dress: The dress that proved my body would look good in women's clothing was my mother's purple wrap dress. The way the dress was cut to show off hips and the bust, and minimize the waist made my figure look super feminine. Plus I thought the long sleeves were kinda fun. This is another dress which I would love to add a similar one to my wardrobe!
Pink T-Shirt & Jeans: The next two items are in a set because they go so well together. I had always loved pink as a color but my mom never really had much pink in her wardrobe. That all changed however to my delight when she bought herself a pink V-neck T-shirt. I was thrilled and naturally tried it on the first chance I got, and I was totally in love! Pink was so fun and feminine, and I liked to pair it with a pair of my mom's jeans which featured pink rhinestones on the booty. It was a pink overload! Naturally I couldn't resist trying on the outfit again and to my delight the jeans still fit!
This outfit is actually one of the reasons that I love V-neck shirts so much! I have since gone on to add recreate this outfit with clothes in my own collection!
Purple Nighties: So obviously I'm a fan of full slips and satin things, but where did that love start? Well other than being inspired by other wonderful crossdressers, I was first exposed to silky fabrics from my mother's nighties. She had them tucked away in a the back of one of her drawers, so she obviously hadn't worn them in a long while. Even though she certainly didn't derive any joy from them anymore I certainly did. I loved how the silky satin like material felt on my skin and the purple colors were a fun bonus. Getting to wear them again all these years later was a fun treat, and I found them right wear I left them in the back of the drawer. It's interesting to think that the last person to wear these was probably me!
I had a fun little stroll down memory lane trying on all of my childhood favorites from my mom's wardrobe. It's so interesting to see how my early experiences defined my fashion choices now! Now that I'm older however and have plenty of clothes for myself, I really don't see any reason to find myself in my mom's closet again. I'm glad I now have these photos to fondly remember my early days and share them with you all, but it's time to move on and continue building a wardrobe of my own!
