Assalamu Aleykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaathuh dearly respected sister Erica, Alhamdulillah, Praise be to the Lord, that you have made the decision to become a Muslim.
Sister, all I suggest you wear are loose clothes (and I would suggest EXTREMELY loose pants, if you are going to wear any, because I don't want to even imagine the kind of dirt looks that males might give you), and also, it'd be good too if you didn't have any make up on your face, and it'd be also good if you could get a sister to wrap a head scarf around your head, so that any male that looks at you won't get any impure thoughts in his mind (a male's feelings are WILD, trust me :wink
.
And also sister, another thing is that you can NOT shake hands or hug any male, in Islam, a Muslim women can ONLY hug or shake hands with a female, so if you take your Shahadah, and any man comes to "hug" you (very stupid guys WOULD do this) or shake your hand, then step back and say to him that you don't want to (and if any non Muslim man does the same to you, tell him that you cannot shake hands with the opposite gender for religious reasons), and IF the guy still persists (just in case), look at him in a disgusted way and move away from him.
Wallahi sister Erica, it is the BEAUTIFULLEST thing when you become a Muslim, a Beleiver (a Muslim means the one who's religion is Islam, or who claims that his religion is Islam; and a Mumin (moot-meen) means a Beleiver in The Lord and his Revelations), it just makes you break into tears when you finally find the truth, and THAT is the beautifullest thing about Islam, that those who embrace it FULLY, always get to the point that they might break into tears because of how happy they are that they HAVE found the TRUTH.
An example:

I hope that you will LOVE being a Muminah siser Erica, Wallahi, it's the most BEAUTIFULLEST thing to be a Muminah, a Beleiving Muslim Women, because you will be a QUEEN, sister Erica.
I must leave now to do Isha (prayer), but I'll see you soon sister Erica. Farewell sister, and...........
