✖ Dan's POV ✖
I don't feel comfortable in my own skin.
"All these suits.. They're all so ugly and boring." I whispered to myself as I walked up and down the aisles searching for something to wear as I had just landed a new job (that was maybe a bit too professional for my liking, but oh well). "These aren't what I want."
I sighed, tears already starting to prick at the back of my eyes. I knew what I wanted, but it wasn't the norm. I walked out into the main aisle, my eyes instantly reading a sign labeled "Women's".
I took a deep breath, my feet - having a mind of its own - leading the way.
My eyes began to widen, my mouth shaped in an 'o' form as I gazed upon rows and rows of different colors, fabrics, and patterns. Everything was so diverse. This was a whole new world to me and appealed to my senses way more than all the stripes and solid colors of the men's suits.
I couldn't help but reach out and touch all the different pant suit and skirt suits, rubbing the fabric carefully and gently through my fingers. What would I even look good in..?
I began to wander around, searching all over for something that would fit my flat, curveless shape. Of course - since this was women's clothing - nothing would really sit quite well on my torso, but I had to try.
Hours upon hours of searching was spent and I just couldn't decide on anything. I had picked out five different outfits, all different patters and colors, but couldn't decided on something good enough. Two of them were skirt suits, the other three pant suits, but I decided to narrow it down the skirt suits since the pants reminded me of the boring men's suits.
I hung the suits back up, holding my two choices with pride, and made my way to the shoe department.

I woke up before my alarm emitted its horrible screech. I was way too nervous and jittery for my time to go to waste, so I made my way to the bathroom and began to spruce myself up.
My clothes were already laid out from the night before as I spent most of my time admiring the soft fabric and design.
I had settled on a light beige, almost white, skirt suit. It had a fitted bodice and tight skirt that hugged my hips as I put it on. I even bought cute fishnet stockings to go under.
The shoes were another story, but were easy to pick out nonetheless. I chose some three inch pumps with a bow stitched to the strap.
I began to feel the cool material against my skin and instantly felt prepossessing and appealing. I always loved when I felt this way.
I had finished my hair and woken myself up a bit, but now it was time for the one thing I had never tried before - makeup. I wasn't entirely sure how to use it, but I watched so many tutorials online, I figured I could manage.
I started with the eyeliner, knowing it would be the hardest part.
Boy, was I right. I wanted to go with a cute winged eyeliner, but I couldn't quite get the wing to the exact size and length I wanted. I cleaned it off, starting over yet again.
