Skylar's Diary - Day 2

Today Riley dropped by again. So, she had a whole bag of clothes with her, and we had agreed that I would fit a few things. They were all girls' clothes, but Riley had promised that we would keep it simple. Dresses and skirts were not included. I'm not ready for that yet (if that ever would happen).

Today's plan was that I would just give it a try. Riley asked me to try things on all the time, and then I had to say what I thought of it. We had put the big mirror in my room. Riley was certainly well prepared. Almost everything she had with her fitted me, never too big or too small. Some things were really too girlish for me. Shorts that were so wide that they looked like skirts, tops with all kinds of frills, or tops with flowers or hearts. They didn't suit me. Eventually I chose a denim short and a pink blouse.

"Great choice, Skylar, it looks good on you."

"Do you think so? I still find it very strange. Aren't these shorts too slim?"

"No, that's how it should be. Roll up your sleeves a bit, that looks better. Do you think it's OK if I take a picture?" 

"Oh no, not at all, who knows what you'll do with it."

"Oh, but I don't mean with my camera, but with yours. So you always decide what happens to it."

"OK then."

"OK, then stand up and look at me. You know what? We're going to do it a bit girly already. Keep your arms stretched out next to your body, but slightly away from your body, that's it. And keep your hands parallel to the floor. That's right, that's so cute. And now a little smile. Awesome!"

"Why do you want to take that picture, Riley?"

"That's just for you. If you write in your diary, you can add that picture to it. That's a good thing to look back at later."

In a way, I thought it wasn't too bad. Riley was very supportive, and quite sweet to me. She made it very playful, so I joined in. Actually I liked it a lot, but it doesn't have to go any further than this for me.
