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

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Timi
      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
