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.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
