Bought my first shoulder bag. :o

Well, since I switched exclusively to women's jeans I've run into the annoying problem of not having any idea where to put my Wallet... or my cell phone.. or my keys.. The wallet was the worst though because Ive had it forever and it has a chain on it that I would usually hide the majority of in my pocket. I just lack the pocket space to carry all this stuff around on me now! I mean if I did try to stuff all of this junk into my pockets I would look really.. really strange.

So I decided that I would grab my friend who is way more fashion knowledgeable than me, and he helped me pick out a really nice smallish shoulder bag big enough to fit everything I need inside of it, and a matching wallet. Honestly glad I got some help, as my instinct would have to have been to go with something black, he had me go with a white bag with black trim, and I have to admit it really does look better especially for spring! Was a little costly though, I swear transitioning just leaves me perpetually broke.

Anyways it's really my first purse of any kind, and it's sooo nice to finally have somewhere to put all this stuff with out trying to stuff it all into these tiny pockets! Maybe I'll take a picture of it here later tonight or something. :D

I always hate tiny pockets. My wallet is too thick. Hnnng.

Congrats on the new accessory!

I'm working on losing weight so I can fit into a nice suit.

Also what video games do you like?

That's really nice that you got some help in picking out a good bag! I know I'm going to need to think about getting a bag soon too. I keep everything in my coat for the time being.

I'd definitely want to see pics of what you got!

Ah, the first handbag. Then soon it is the second. It is all so innocent. Then you leave the handbags together by the bed, or in the chair overnight. Next morning POOF!!! you have six or eight of them. LOL! It's a girl thing. Giggle. Hug. JodyAnn

I got a lot of them early in my trans life but now i have a favorite. It's an old black leather coach bag. It holds everything so well. Just enough space for me if i keep the wrappers out. it feels right with just about anything except a really formal outfit. I never have a chance for that anyway so its been great for a year = now. Can'r leave home without it. i wouldn't ever want to put things in my pockets again.

Hugs,

Charlie

Alright, finally got a picture uploaded, my Phone decided to take a 2 megabyte picture so I had to do some editing to get it uploaded! lol

FirstHandbag

Got it at JCPenny, wanted something that wasn't huge for now and the shape was a good fit for what I was wanting.

And yeah Jody, I actually saw a second one there that I liked and seriously thought about buying but it would have been way to expensive to get both! So I got just the one... for now.

Angel, it's pretty short. It's just big enough to go over the shoulder with some extra room. Just about what I was looking for for the time being. :)

Thanks Sam :) My sense of style tends to be a little to punky/darkish, I'll go with black 99.9% of the time. Even though there are alot of styles I like I just have no practice going out and actually going for said styles. lol

I'm totally with you on the black thing... at some point, the vast majority of clothing I had were dark colored or just black...

Love it except I like them long and black goes with anything and the the longer the better feels more comfortable over my shoulders

What brand is it ? It's not Prada is it ?

Angel :)

Nope not Prada, it's LuLu by Lulu Guinness.

Though to be honest my friend would totally like to get me hooked on designer stuff like Prada. :D lol

The other one I looked at, the same brand had a longer strap, and the bag was a bit bigger. It was so pretty but I couldn't afford both so I went with simpler for now. :)

I love purses. Beware though: I started with a small one, just like you, to carry the essentials.

...then I needed more essentials and as a result, my purse got larger.

Link to comment

Oh, it's a rule! The bigger the purse, the more the stuff. I started with really small purses, they expanded. Giggle. Then someone gave me a really big purse, telling me it made me look smaller. After I had small, medium and large, the flood gates opened. Now I have a litter of purses. Dump it out on the bed, pick the one for the day. Scoop all the needed goodies into the new one. Grab it and fly! The curse of the purse comes at bedtime, when you have to figure out what to do with what is still laying on the bed. Sometimes it's really weird treasures. No complaints here...

...other than I don't have THAT PURSE! Sooo Jealoussssss. Just kidding, it is a great purse though. Thanks for the pic. Hug. JodyAnn

That was what my friend said too when suggesting that particular color combo! :D I really actually like it.

:D I'm sorry Angel! Hopefully you'll find something you love!

Well, now that I think about it. I'm sure I could find more stuff to fill it with, and there was a larger purse that I did like but ultimately didn't buy. So I have no doubt the same thing will happen with me! LOL Though there is still quite a bit of room in this one... but I don't really own any makeup yet either.

Jody, I can't say I have a pile of bags yet, just the one.. But I am already totally there with Shoes! :D

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about.

      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way.

      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.

      Welcome to the party, M.A.     Sounds chaotic haha, I can confidently say that living with only two children the same age is stressful enough, much less three!

      Things hit the fan today. I was reminded that "this is not a gender fluid establishment."   I had changed my preferred name and gender at the hospital on their app. My x-ray report came in with my preferred name and gender. It was not appreciated by the centre. 😬

      I'm not a nutritionist but I've gone on bulking diets in the past so I can suggest a couple things to try. Foremost, food-prep stuff that you like to eat. Any 'real food' that usually sounds good to you. That way, you don't have the time-sink or hassle of cooking for every meal. You're more likely to eat if stuff if it's convenient and mostly ready. For example, I'll spend an hour or so one evening prepping burrito ingredients that will last me the next 3 nights. Then it's just a matter of microwaving the beef/beans and throwing them into a tortilla; takes 5 min.   If you need food 'on the go' often, consider prepping smoothies in advance pre-separated out into individual containers. I personally like low-no fat yogurt blended with fruit and, here's the weird part, those water flavor drops. They add sweetness without dumping in excess sugar. Insulated containers will keep them reasonably fresh non-refridgerated all day so they can even be tossed into a backpack.    Hope of those sparked some ideas!
