Very nice!
I bet my brown ladies jacket would be a perfect fit with these... 
Its Finnish made, got it for free from a guitarist friend, it was too big for him but perfect fit for me. Oh and I got brown army boots which go well with it, reproduction of US army 1940's paratrooper boots.
Looking good there DiDi, certainly worth getting out there leather jacket and boots an all. You look fantastic. Clothing sizes are always a bit hit the same size from different manufacturers can be very different. I always go into the shop and try them on (well post covid I did) and find that most shop assistants are really helpful and don't mind a bloke trying on clothes in a womens shop!! Nowadays I stuck with ordering online, as such I only order from brands that I know the sizes that will fit.
Think you should get more clothes ordered up when you can, you look good.
I haven't got much of a choice as there's very few decent shops around. And I'm quite shy about cloth shopping. Online buying is hit or miss, specially for me as I'm such a newbie with the clothes. I will get more as time goes by, I just can't afford to buy what ever I wish so its kinda slow.
Today I'm feeling kinda moody. Total opposite of yesterday. I really have some demons to fight with my confidence which has never been rock solid anyway. I got the problem that when ever something nice happens, I soon see the grass being greener and others having the same things better than I do. Or feel about this whole issue like its a gargantuan mountain to climb and I'm all out of rope, or that I'm a small fish thrown into rapids and need to swim up even when I'm not strong enough for it. This isn't the first time I get these feelings specially when I'm on low dose or having a break from pm, its weird but there clearly is a link with my moods.
Last about two months have been amazing though, I have never got so many people compliment my looks so much and come talk with me and be generally so nice. Perhaps I look too much into what other people think or say, but at least it has been very encouraging.
Old demons die hard.
Thats a problem if you don't have many good shops nearby, I live in a small village so used to go into the city (about half an hour on the train), which has all the shops, so that was good.
I must admit I used to be totally unsure abut going into a womens shop, it has taken me years of pushing myself to have the confidence to go in and look around, if I see something I like I will buy it with no problem at all. If I'm unsure of the size/fit and want to try it on, this is where i still struggle to some degree, it depends upon which shop it is, but I usually go and find a friendly looking assistant and ask them if it is OK to try on the clothes. Thankfully, most are very helpful, and lead me to the changing rooms and generally make sure I'm OK, however I am only confident in certain shops to do this as in some I am over conscious about what they are thinking about me!
This is where I have fallen down in the past, just like you, over thinking what others think about you. It's a weakness that I recognised years ago and actively set about to get over it. It is hard, but very doable, so please be confident with lots of positive thoughts and really try to develop that attitude I'm happy with who I am and I don't care what others think.
For me it was baby steps, just keep pushing myself little by little.
For sure compliments are fantastic and in your case are well deserved, you look brill so go with it with confidence.
No weird looks, no comments, nothing of sort. As I expected, he's open minded and nice guy so. Seems that I'm free to be girly around him.
