The new catalogs are already showcasing their fall fashions.

One of my favorite types of clothing is sweaters. Gosh, I love them. :D

My favorites are turtle necks and cowl necks, and sweater sets too.

How about you?

I've always loved turtlenecks, but never had a sweater. However, I noticed a year or so ago, I had a sudden interest in them. Maybe this years, the year.

I hate the cold! Let me say that again, I really hate the cold but when it does get below 70 here I do love sweaters. This year will be different because I will be able to pick out some girl sweaters to wear all the time.

The only good thing about fall and winter is that you can wear womens clothes easier without anyone noticing.

Just one more way boys and girls are different. It sure doesn't mean shrinkage.

Last year I wore silk turtlenecks with my suits, and got nice comments on my new style. :rolleyes:

IDK about this year - my girls might be inclined to do the peekaboo thingy. That would be interesting. :P

Well, this year it will just be a single turtleneck top that evaded my last purge, and a couple of Carhartt Hoodies. But that is OK, one never knows when something might show up.

Around here, 80 degrees is considered hot, zero is getting a bit nippy.

Now that I have moved from the frigid north-70 below zero wind chills are NOT fun-I look forward to fall and winter with warm soft sweaters. I've loved plain soft sweaters all my life.

And fur. Good thing my nutria bomber jacket is a man's jacket. I'll wear it with even more pleasure now.

By the way for any anti-fur people-nutria is a long haired giant rat and a ferocious, destructive pest. But they do have beautiful fur.:D

FALL

YEAAAAA

Only three months away! We get our winter after Christmas Day.

But it is geTting cooler here! We have had four days of rain influenced by storms in the Gulf - hurricane rains we call them, gentle droplets at 20 MPH - but it's cooler, all week at under 90 degrees, 76 to 78 at night - so I slept under my blanket (not what you think - the AC is more efficient when it is under 95 outside and it can be nice at night with the AC actually working)

BUT

YES! Sweaters! And dresses to mid calf - scarfs - real dresses that cover our shoulders - and even coming soon, pantyhose and tights! We can get out the heels and put away the open sandals - and - best of all - we can wear full makeup and wear our hair down - no more 'dewey' episodes!

[And as JJ says - watch the headlights in the cooler weather!]

YEAAAA

Sweaters, oh do they bring back memories of growing up. My mother made me (yes, knitted or whatever) a medium dark brown mohair sweater. Actually, I personally, deep down, thought it was wonderful looking. Problem was, I could not possibly wear it at age 13-16. When you're terribly unsure of your presenting gender (in this case, male) and so badly want to be accepted and are trying desperately to put those weird thoughts out of your head, the last thing you need at that moment is a fairly feminine looking sweater - soft and fuzzy and so warm looking. Probably would have had positive comments from the girls, but the guys? Ha! And I wish I had it now.

Another type of sweater I have always liked is boatneck style. Try finding those, these days! With what's available I happen to prefer V-neck or crew. I'll take a cardigan only if it looks 'today!' not reminds people of my grandfather's LaSalle. ;)

Simple - lure Nutria in the traps with artificial sugar - Nutria-sweet.

GRIN

Living in prime NUTRIA country - the answer is really simple. The local Cajun population traps and skins them, selling the fur. I don't wanna know what they do with the meat - I avoid the Cajun Country Restaurants that have specials on HOT SAUSAGE POORBOYS during hunting season!

Nutria look like a beaver except their tail looks like a rat tail. They were brought in originally from South America because they eat water hyacinth - a waterway clogging plant, and that plant was originally introduced from the Orient to prevent erosion of dirt banked levees. And the Nutria build their dens by boring into in the dirt bank levees and weakening them. The solution? Put an alligator or two in the water where Nutria habitate. Later trap the alligator (with the proper Federal permits) and skin them for alligator belts, purses, boots and women's dress heels. Alligator meat tastes like dark chicken meat and is really good with a sauce picante. Picante hunting season is fairly long so it's a good situation. Picante fur is not really that high of a quality, though, so there are some drawbacks in this bio-system.

Hope this clears up the mystery!

Nothing like having one's thread hijacked by rats and alligators. :(

Thanks gang!

DANG - you wanted to KNOW how they capture the Nutria!

And have you ever tried to trap Angora? Crafty little creatures with pink fur ('though sometimes they are found in white) that hide under rocks until the cool weather arrives. Like the double humped camels they are easily identifed by their bumps (although usually from a 90 degree turned viewpoint)

They can often be seen in domestic conditions associated with embroidered poodles and socks named 'Bobby."

I hope this helps

Just like my coat-only mine has a tiny bit longer fur-nutria looks a lot like natural mink

A nutria in the wild-and BTW they are aggressive and will sometimes attack on sight.

Sorry about the confusion-but I do love the coat! And boots. And single color soft cashmere sweaters. And cool weather -with a fire in the fireplace. And the lawn all bedded down for the winter. And the winter birds back at the feeder. I LOVE fall!

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      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. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      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.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      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
    • RaineOnYourParade
      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!
