Blew Through My Expendable Budget Faster Then You Can Say Sale

So I started my shopping spree at Target and bought a cardigan and a faux leather jacket. Then I went to payless shoes and bought some new shoes; a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of flats. Then I went and got my eyebrows waxed. Finally I went over to For Eyes and bought myself a new pair of glasses and sun glasses that don't look so masculine.

Regarding the waxing and my new glasses that should hopefully arrive by Friday next week I feel like I'm taking care of the last remaining visual cues that where straggling behind everything else.

It was so great though being able to shop and be accepted by the other people shopping, and the clerks. I must have really been passing with the person at For Eyes because she was really confused when I had her look up my account by my old name *cringe*. She was still really good about it and we made small talk while she was processing my order. I made sure to get my name updated though so I wouldn't have to run into the issue again.

I'm so comfortable going out now as me that I've resumed my walks around the surrounding neighborhoods for exercise. The only difference is now I'll stop and talk with people I pass by if they look friendly. I don't want to say life is perfect because I still have to get up early on the week days, deal with traffic, and I haven't won the lottery yet but I can at least get a smile or two or three in too. :)

Well I didn't spend everything. I did make sure to put $200 from my paycheck into my savings account for my srs fund.

Edit:

Today was awesome though. :D

Yup, Natalie, girl stuff is expensive. Women have been complaining about such for 100 years. But as long as what you bought makes you happy, then it was worth it. We're all worth it! :D

I'm so glad things are going well for you, hon. You make me smile, and you make me proud.

LOL Yeah it is expensive. Even my cardigan from target cost $22. Although I am amazed at the quality of it. The stitching seems better done then Old Navy cloths. Here's a picture of it and my waxed eyebrows.

Oh and that necklace is from target too. It was $10 but I didn't buy it this time. I've had it for a little while now. It's one of my favorites so far. It reminds me of the beach.

Thank you I'm very flattered that I make you proud. :D

Thanks for noticing. :) Back in July I didn't feel like I was passing that well. Then I blinked and couldn't pass as male. It's hard to look back at my old photos and recognize them as me.

Having worked for the Gap at one point, I was always amused by the prejudice toward their own subsidiary Old Navy. They used to call it "disposable clothing"

In other news, you are GORGEOUS.

The Gap is so expensive and I've only got a handful of items of cloths from the gap and Banana Republic. Old Navy seems plain for a lot of their cloths as well as poorly made. Maybe once I've gotten my srs surgery and have money to blow I'll buy the expensive brands.

In other news, :blush:

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/yolande-zauberman-documentary-the-belle-from-gaza-cannes-film-festival

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!

      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.

      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!

      Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....
