Christmas Gifts

Just wondering how everyone's Christmas was... Did you get some great new clothes and things? My wife is so amazing and I'm continuously thankful she is supportive. She bought me 4 outfits for Christmas! Two outfits with skirts and two with pants. She also bought me 2 sets of matching earrings and necklaces for 2 of the outfits. I am on Cloud 9! I was able to try them on briefly to make sure they fit, but am still longing for next week when I can wear one of them all day. Now here's the funny thing. Before she knew about Sienna I was so focused on dressing in more evening wear only. Even for a short period after she found out. However, since my wife has known over past 3 years she has influenced and guided me to dressing more like how women dress everyday. I have transitioned into building up more business and casual outfits. Up to this point these outfits had skirts paired with them or they were dresses. This Christmas I asked for something just a few years ago I would have never considered asking for, pants!!! Don't get me wrong I still love skirts and occasional dresses, but it is really crazy seeing myself evolving in this way. I don't think about the evening wear so much anymore. Has anyone else here found themselves changing their preferences in wardrobe items or expanding it to things that at one point in time you really never considered wearing?

This is a wonderful post, Sienna. I'm so happy that you're Christmas was so full of joy and happiness. You do have a fantastic and loving wife, and you're very lucky in that. Perhaps we can see some pics at some point?

Like you, I started my wardrobe with fairly feminine outfits; skirts, dresses,

frilly blouses. But I too have become more practical, and have since bought

many pairs of slacks and jeans and low heeled shoes. I no longer feel like the only way to pass in public is to wear hyper-feminine clothes.

This was one of my best Christmases too, Sienna. I spent the day at my sister's house en femme, and all the gifts I received were to Carolyn, and every one was gender appropriate and lovely. We went out to dinner (at a Jewish deli, of course :D ) and had a great time.

It's great to be a girl, isn't it? :D

So happy that you had a wonderful Christmas, Sienna. I've always been a casual

dresser favoring skirts, sweaters, blouses and camisoles. My wife bought a purple

pullover for me. I've taken more interest in having casual dresses in my wardrobe.

I need more shoes also.

I've seen changes in my life the past several months. This past Sunday some commented

to me that I look so happy. I really AM happy.

I am so happy for both of you Carolyn and Gennee! That is great!

I always need more shoes too! I think I have 15 pairs now, but am always looking! Having lots of shoes is great isn't it?

Sienna, Carolyn & Gennee - isn't it grand when we get to the point we can be and dress like every other woman in the world? No more 'costuming."

I no longer feel like the only way to pass in public is to wear hyper-feminine clothes. as Carolyn Marie says...

YEAAAA

Good Holidays Season! Makes me happy - so many here had less...

I broke down and added my first picture of me to my gallery. Not sure what others' impressions are of how I look... I don't think I could pass, but I feel great and love my new clothes!

Well let's just say for starters that you look fantastic! I was initially primarily a skirt wearer but I found myself gravatating towards more casual looks...jeans w/ form fitting t-shirts and sweaters. I've been trying to make my wardrobe more "real" so that what I have resembles what most women wear day to day. I started noticing women's fashion more and more as I was out and began by trying to piece together that look for me. What I've found is a much more natural look that compliments my figure more. I completely understand where you are coming from.

Thank you sooo much Melanie! You made my day! I was extremely nervous about uploading a picture and am overly critical on everything about myself. It is hard to look at myself and determine if I look okay or not. I too have really began to focus on women's fashion more closely and feel like I have made a lot of progress in that area with the help of my wife. I have so much to work on still... voice, convincing movement...

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here? 
    • Ladypcnj
      Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.

      Sir is good, as well as mister! I don't mind Mx. but my brain's first thought is a mixer.

      giggles..sounds much more comfy   I'm on 5 minute break outside n wondering if i can open my blouse..oops..maybe not ..laughs

      I really don't think that's a good idea. The unity of the LGB and T community is historic and has been central for both groups rights. And the vast majority of people advocating for splitting the two are transphobic LGB's who are broadly condemned by the community anyway.

      Congratulations, and best wishes as you move forward.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      A bit late in updating, but I've had the draft of the official diagnosis and have (as yet unconfirmed) an endo consultation next month.   Next to arrive will be the supporting documentation for my new passport application for my correct gender.  This will then be my official ID for all the other updates - bank, tax, payroll etc.   It just feels good to to be proactive again rather than waiting for other people to move at a leisurely pace.

      I like ELF brand cosmetics, I can pick them up at JC Penny.    I wear makeup everyday, but mostly just very light makeup.

      Hello & welcome, @Ali_Genderlfuid! Look forward to learning more about you.

      Hi Mae Be, whenever it comes to makeup, there are so many different bands to choose from. Picking out the right makeup comes with trial and error, until you find one that works for you and blends well with your skin tone, some makeup products can leave the skin feeling oily. It's a good idea to look at the labels on the makeup product to know what the creators put in the makeup, just in case skin allergies. Once you found the makeup brand, you can add it to your shopping list, good luck
