What Brand Would You Purchase If You Knew You Had No Budget?

Christian Louboutin is amazing. One of my top choices, if they came in my size (yeah right, I've checked). Other than that, anything that I like regardless of brand. I am partial to Converse skate shoes for every day wear (seems to be the only shoes I can find that are wide enough).

Glad to see I'm not the first guy posting in this thread. What can I say? Fashion is pretty irresistible to this gay guy.

I'd just like to be able to regularly afford Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Top Man, H&M and Gap. And vintage clothes. LOTS of vintage clothing.

Also, I am completely with praisedbeherhooves on the steampunk thing. Anything steampunk is like my ambrosia.

I can't wait til I buy these things for myself first of all, but I love designer labels, soooooo expensive though, very much out of my price range, but I also love the colour pink so anything pink, and I also like cute and comfortable like stuff from american eagle or aeropostale or hollister, I love hoodies like this one

See my avatar? I've been drooling over these Valentino Lace D'Orsay pumps for quite some time. They come in my size. Just not in my budget.

When I'm in boy mode I'm partial to Stacy Adams dress shoes. I love finding them on sale online.

I really couldn't name off brands to you. I look for what is cute and if it is in my budget. I shop anywhere really from Wal-Mart, Old Navy, JC Penny, Victoria Secret, Macy's or Nordstrom's. If they have womens clothes then I am looking. It all depends on what I like and if I can afford it at the time.

Ooh, that's hard. I would love to have an unlimited shopping spree at Hot Topic - they have the best shirts for my favorite bands! Oh! And Think Geek and Jinx have the best nerdy shirts by far. I already own a few, but only because it's a tradition in my house that my brothers and I all get a Jinx T-shirt for Christmas from my dad, but, unfortunately, he's still buying me only girls' shirts. Girl mode doesn't complain about that, but guy mode would like a nerdy shirt for once besides the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and The Lion King on Broadway shirts I have.

Until I win the lottery, Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Sears, JC Penney, and Target will do fine since they have some pretty good clothes despite the low price.

I don't really care about brands. I would buy the same clothes I buy now. Clothing brands aren't really important for me and I think it's silly to spend a small fortune on clothing items.

Given the financial ability to buy any brand I would buy my clothes from Talbot's, given my maturity (60 years young] and full figure size I just adore the classic styles they continue to produce .

When I can't afford it, I usually purchase the "Clearance" brand. I think they are produced by a company called "Rack", but don't quote me on that.

Also, I would buy a plane ticket to go to tokyo and buy stuff from the Harajuku & Shibuya districts! (There are really eccentric fashion boutiques there!!!)

:)

Just sayin': It's surprisingly hard to find those mysterious boutiques in Harajuku and Shibuya. Seriously? VERY hard. Much easier to find fish. Especially since the shopkeepers tend to climb over their wares to swing dead things like crab and eel and fish in your face. Mikiko and I had to look up online how to find the Lolita and cosplay shops. It was very hard! There are some really could places in Akihabara though, which is also home to most of the Maid Cafes in Tokyo (which are very cute and very fun).

I think all of those clothing in the photos are super cute, however I'll stick with my button ups and jeans :)

If I really had No Budget?

There is a lil boutique shop near my sisters house that I simply adore. I would love to hire the owner/designer, take her to Britex in Frisco and have her make me an entire wardrobe! It would be just awesome to have stuff that fit me perfectly and not have to make it myself.

Okay, now you have got me drooling all over myself thinking about an unlimited trip to Britex!

:lol:

If money was no object, I'd forget the clothes and buy one Coach purse, one Dooney & Burke purse and one Louis Vuitton purse.

Oh and then I hear there are some pretty nice designer jeans in big girl sizes. I'd check them out.

I love Anne Klien and Kate Spade. I was able to buy an Anne Klien dress in TJ for $10.00 unfortunatly I had to leave it behind and I am still mad at myself for doing that. I have a Kate Spade wallet and matching purse that I bought at a thrift store for $10.00. I was really lucky that day and found a coach purse for $29.00 as well.

I think I would spend way too much time in banana republic and ralph lauren, both places have great classy clothes. Not that I don't like flashy stuff, it's just the nice understated lines and slight preppyness of those two brands really catch my eye.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources. 
    • Ashley0616
      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath. 
    • Ashley0616
      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
    • FinnyFinsterHH
      Thank you! 
    • missyjo
