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)

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.

      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard.

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.
