What's Your Girl Style?

At least from the pics in the photo gallery there seems to be quite a wide range of looks and styles for us MtFs. I was thinking about my own style and where that comes from. First of all I am a mature woman (from the generation where a woman _never_ tells her age, LOL!!!) Anyway as a kid I loved the glamorous women in the classic movies from the 1930s up through maybe the early 60s. Anyone remember Merle Oberon or Norma Shearer??? Do you remember their jewelry and silken gowns? Well add to that the fact that my mother was a runway model. She ended up buying the evening gown for herself she modeled once and that gown is still in her closet today, along with the rhinestone necklace and earrings----something of the class you might see women wear on Oscar Night!! I love glamour and bling. For me the last of the fabulous fashion role models were Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn ("Breakfast at Tiffany's") They were classy women, all! I so love that high class-look!!

On the other hand I have a dear friend I shop with whose style is soooo different. She is younger and she is tall and willowy and her style is definitely the 70s mod style. I help her with her hair and make-up remembering her style is very different than mine.

Hugs, Ricka

Reserved I guess. Not into gowns,short skirts,lace and frills, not crazy over pastels or gaudy prints, flashy jewelery. I'm a child of the 40's and 50's. One would think I'd be into Poodle skirts, crinolines, etc but I'm not.

Great idea for a topic, Ricka.

I love bling and wear it when I can. Bracelets, big earrings, bangles. I love the clink they make. :)

I'm fairly conservative in clothing, being a middle aged woman I don't go for mini skirts and such.

I love feminine looking sweaters & blouses, with frills and lace, and ankle length or just below the knee skirts and dresses. Peasant skirts are nice.

But I don't mind pants and jeans too, with a pastel blouse or sweater and a pretty necklace.

Oh, and almost neglected to mention shoes. I love open toed sandals, and boots of any kind. I LOVE boots!

COOL!

My style is 60-70's....

Just is....

Back then I wore the paisleys, bell bottoms, Beatle boots, shirts with white collars and cuffs...It was as close to dressing feminine as I could get at the time...

Now I'm living it again! Only, the way that i wanted to live it then!

Gypsy skirts, blousy blouses..tops with a scarf, long peasant skirts and tops...

I guess that I dress somewhat retro...I love the old Stevie Nicks style....

Ok....so I'm too old for that.....sue me!

I'm Happy!

Well back in the sixties and seventies I dressed more feminine than Donna Jean - lots of silk shirts, Patterned bell bottoms - almost no solid colors - different color belts and shoes for each outfit including the Yellow pants suit (no other name for it) with the Chocolate brown cuffs and on the top and the cuffed bell bottoms.

So am I back in those days - not really my style is more Thelma Harper these days! :lol:

Really more Bea Arthur from the Golden Girls days if I could afford it - such gorgeous sweeping long tunics and scarfs!

Love ya,

Sally

I'm not really sure. Casual chic I guess? I usually pair jeans with cute tops. Sometimes I wear tank tops if it's really hot out.

Fun reading the variety of styles here!! Being middle aged and having a Rubens figure myself like some of you I avoid trying to dress like a model-thin young thing. I do love the long flowing dresses and tops that are low cut and I adore wearing jewelry. Empire waists are perfect for us full figured women. I recently bought a silk n lace fuschia colored long negligee. It is very low cut and has spagetti straps. I just adore it and love the sensual feel of silk on my skin and how it accentuates my female curves :) The color makes my skin tone glow too.

IDK

I never though of what type style I am.

I do know I am not into vibrant colors, I would like to but I don't think they look good on me.

I like mid rise jeans, simple tops, and tennies or sandals.

I try to stay age appropriate, but have been known B) to wear some Jr fashions.

I knew we had a lot in common, Dee Jay! That is my style, too!

And you are never too old to be yourself (unless you are trying to dress like a 12 year old)

I love to make/modify my own clothes with a bohemian/punk type style. My fav outfit right now is my tye-dye v neck with a pair of LEIs that i added patches to and flaired out the legs.with my feather earrings that i made and a studded belt. That's my everyday type outfit.

I'm a board shorts girl and like a natural look with my make-up. A scoop neck top, skinny jeans or Capris, a pair of tennies or chunky heel boot and some hoops and I'm in heaven!

My style is jeans, scarf with a t-shirt and a long singlet under it. It is now changing (because of winter) to that with a wool jumper. I might be stuck with this style until the end of the year because I want to save up money as much as possible for my future plans. B)

Guest i is Sam :-)

I'm definitely still learning my style, A few months ago I had some idea of what I liked on other girls, but no idea what might suit me, but i'm starting to learn things that I like and things that work. I'm definitely a jeans and top type of girl, But i'm looking forward to wearing skirts come the summer. and If an occasion called for it I'd jump at the chance to wear a nice dress, I don't own any tho. I like geeky stuff, (I just bought a batman ladies tee) or retro, or things that are quirky or funny. I'm always on the look out for cool t shirts. I like things that are reasonably subtle but stylised, like say jeans with an outline of a heart embroided on the leg. For jewelry I like anything that's understated and elegant. silver or white gold, simple designs, small clear stones.

I also really love the cybergoth stuff, but i haven't ever really had the friends or the confidence to go to night clubs, hopefully that'll change.

60 going on 25?

My wife once described our house as "early american garage sale". I think that's me - odd stuff mixed together, hopefully still retaining what bit of dignity I have left...

:lol:

I'm the same, different things to suit different moods, & love strong colours.

Never wear long (calf or ankle length) skirts or dresses, as I'm quite short & it just doesn't look or feel right.

My style pretty much mirrors my friends'. Very casual, yet still nice. Jeans and a t-shirt or blouse. About 60-70% of the time I wear flip-flops or sandals. Otherwise I'll wear flats or sneakers. Maybe I'll wear a nice necklace or scarf if I'm wearing a shirt with an exposed neck. Also, I'm 18. So, think teenage styles of t-shirts, jeans, blouses, etc. My makeup consists of nail polish, mascara, foundation, concealer, and lip-gloss, and except for the nail polish and mascara, it's very subtle.

I wish I could have been there. I would have been a great hippy!!!!! Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong generation....or maybe, ok I wont go there right now. lol

      Just really started reading this thread today and it is fascinating. Thank you for sharing @Sally Stone... I started shaving my legs (and chest and arms) about eight years ago when I was living apart from my wife. I decided then that there was no going back - I just love smooth skin and really hate hate hate body hair (I have quite a bit -- "Hey, nice sweater" people would say when I took my shirt OFF).   My wife is not thrilled but I think in time it just fades into the background and folks don't give it a second thought after the novelty of noticing it. And if they do harp on it, it's like why does it matter so much to you what my legs look like?  I am kind of here too -- I want to express myself more and more outwardly in a feminine way. But I don't hate everything about being a guy. I would probably go 100 percent female dress if society were more accepting of that (and family)...

      I was stuck behind a truck for like 6 miles doing 30 in a 45mph zone and when I got the opportunity to pass it I took it. Sped up and passed it and then noticed the flashing lights behind me… I just got my first tickets (other than parking tickets) in the 26 years that I have been driving. The speed limit changed in that area and it was a long downhill grade so apparently I was going 60 in a 40 zone. I was so nervous that I was shaking. Speeding and no registration (it is fully registered and insured but I couldn’t find the registration card). It was still affirming though in that I used my license showing my name to be Lorelei and got “maam’ed” by the cop. He was very professional and told me to plead not guilty and that he would reduce the charges if I came to court. Hopefully he will reduce the ticket to something that doesn’t give points. He told me that I should have given him my PBA card (a friend of mine’s husband is a cop had given it to me) with my license, not after the ticket is already written. The registration ticket will go away once I provide proof that it is registered.  I already ordered the replacement registration from NYS DMV online. Unfortunately the registration is still registered to my deadname of Rory so I will have to bring that up to the judge unless I can get to DMV first to change it first. Overall, this morning sucked.

      I hear you. My therapist moved to another job at the VA.  I liked her a lot and was very comfortable with her. Now I have an appointment with a new one, but not till June.  I asked for the first one to be in person.  I think I'll be able to see what she's like better that way.

      Hi, I’ve found a number of clergy in Orthodox Judaism who are privately supportive of transgendered people. The walls are slowly crumbling 😮

      Hi Mealaini (what a beautiful name),   I applaud this attitude; I think that is such a healthy way to look at your situation. I have an ex-wife (who also has a beautiful Gaelic name) and we are such great friends now, having broken up, that we both agree our relationship has never been so healthy. She has found a man she loves; I don’t know if they will last indefinitely but I like him and he likes me and there are no hard feelings between any of us.  Anyway welcome, and thank you for sharing your story. I have been thinking of trying EMDR myself so it’s good to hear a success story.

      I was in the field artillery in the early 70's.  At times we had to hump ammo.  A projo weighed around 200lbs.  There were very few women, they seemed to be mostly in the medical roles.  I suppose if you were openly trans, you'd have been kicked out for being gay. But I suppose things are a lot different now.  There are more technical jobs for one thing.  One of my daughters was in the Air Force for a number of years.  Started as an "airman", and came out as a captain (nurse).

      I was mostly seen wearing boy's clothes at the time, my parents didn't show me my birth certificate until later on in life, but until then I wasn't old enough to start going to school, and so I hanged out with the rest of the other kids in my neighborhood. My parents decided to keep me home under their observations, they thought I was going through a phase, they couldn't figure out why my feminine mannerisms was consistent. One day at my parents' home, something happened to me which resulted in a car ride to the hospital's emergency room. After getting checked out, my childhood treating doctors couldn't diagnosed what was going on with me? It resulted in me being misdiagnosed and a family car ride back home, this was just the beginning of what would be a series of car rides back to the emergency room. My parents stopped saying I was going through a phase, now something physically was going on with me. Things at home got to the point when I heard my parents questioned about the gender marker on my birth certificate. There's more to my story, but it resulted in the aftermath of a surgical scar, and disappearance of that surgical medical records of what happened to me.

      Reading your post, I need to comment I have breast forms and sometimes get a chance to wear them to bed. But wearing my lingerie they always fall out so I wear a more full coverage bra to bed so they stay where they are meant to!

      This would be a nice place to start by introducing myself to everyone, I already graduated from high school, and some college. I played the piano when I was younger, and I played in some bands. I used to take walks along the sandy beach, while collecting rocks and seashells along my way, I guess that would be the mermaid side of me.  I like fashion clothes shopping, and spending time with my close friends and family. I'm an online administrator from my own website in the community, and group facilitator in the lgbtqai+ community. It's nice to meet new friends here, and whatever help I can be I'm here for you.
