MTF attire that works

I like stuff that is simple yet chic . Blacks , whites . I don't wear jeans . No ruffles and definately no padded shoulders ,in fact if I have gotten really good at cutting them out and removing them with minimal damage.

I should explore some blues .

I like rose or what a surprise cerise

As I have said before I like leggings and pants or capris I would like to get more blouses but I like natural fabics like linen and cotton.

Shiny satiny stuff has not worked for me unless it is on the lower half of my body .

Although I have learned to walk in 1000 mm heels I will probably avoid buying another pair with that height and go for 4 inches or less 70 mm approx .

I am so glad that the overly pointed toe has fallen out of favor recently for women .

Because I have a swollen ankle I wear boots to cover it up and have a pair of ankle boots that do the same.

It is ironic that I can walk in heels but limp in flats.

More tomorrow

Being a bit older and a good deal over weight I avoid Jeans to prevent people like Jeff Foxworthy's brother from watching me walk away and comment to Jeff, "Looks like two blue VWs try to pass each other on a narrow road."

I only wear pants with a tunic top - the extra length lets it cover my lack of waistline.

Dresses work very well for us 'full figured' or as one small gym said, 'Fluffy Ladys' - pc for 'Fat' or 'Lardbutt'.

I tend to go for lower heels, 3 inches is about my maximum - I can walk in the higher ones just fine but I'm 6'4" tall and the standard doorway is around 6'71/2" and I don't want to have to duck!

I'm older and like to wear hose to make my legs look smoother. If I had nown that one day I would transition I would have taken much better care of my skin.

Love ya,

Sally

Christy why would you want to be someone else when you are already beautiful on your own, she is very pretty though. LOL...what is it with everybody, me sometimes too probably...just don't remember or possibly want to admit it, wanting to be somebody else? O.K. I want to be a size "o.O" and on the cover of Vouge sticking my tounge out at the convention of it all. I have to laugh at myself first...and then at fashion...would I disappear if I was a size "o.O"? Blip out of existance? Would I NEVER be able to see Walden Pond? Cerise...I like the capri/leggings look too it JUST WORKS for anybody and EVeryBody LOL...if you can't carry that, practice more for your own safety please :mellow: I do like dresses too though and if you can/will/do wear shorts theres a dress that's got your name on it...a dress is just sooo much different and NOT to be missed...personal opionion just like yours Cerise...don't settle for just anything...make it MAKE YOU look GREAT...it's a whole attitude changer...please though have SOME modesty...Call me Fashion concious if it's not in style, Kelly Ann

Wear knit shirts and khakies, and socks from the ladies dep't at Target. The knit shirts show off your man boobs, even if your a skinny old runt like me.

Don't wear jeans too macho,like the loose fitting khakis.......Boring Huh mia.

Me - I just realized why I HAVE 30 PAIR of blue jeans and 7 (I counted 'em) denin long sleve shirts. Thats all I wear! I now have my girl-jeans - and how fine that is! Ultra tall - boot cut - slim build, shows my assets...

I was born and reared in Texas- my roots are there.

I guess I am really a Texas woman - and ya never know when you gotta go clean the cow poop off the runnin' board of youra pick-um-up truck. You All... them dainty li'l things just gonna get ruint...

And those girly-girl high heels just git caught in the railin's of the cattle guard - so gitcha some boots ifin you wanna have that higher heel. Besides, the pointy toes are good for squishin those cuccaracha who sneak into the corner.

Oh, Lizzy....getting those cockroaches in the corner...lol

I really haven't done shoes yet..next on my list..

No dresses...I like skirts and have a GROWING collection and I'm learning to match tops so I don't look like an idiot!

I never realized there was SO much to learn!

I really love the big, long gypsy type skirts, but, I have trouble when I stand up and step on it and bring myself crashing to the floor...I've got to work on that..not very lady like! And peasant girl tops and big hoop ear rings. I'm re-living my hippie days, except this time I'll be the right person in the right clothes! :P

AHhhh..an old lady growing flowers.....

I found my personal style was rather easy to determine, once I really started thinking of myself as a boy. (For one thing, I'm admitting that I'm a boy with a personal style)

Mine is sort of emo/punk. I like hard rock and the clothes that go along with it... I really like the color black, a carry-over from my days in denial. (I thought I was a nonconformist instead of a transsexual; I wore black ALL the time) But I'm also small and effeminate. I like the color purple. I like lots of colors, actually. I have "emo hair," the bangs hang in front of my face, too.

But, yeah, perfect outfit for me: Black formal guy's shirt with a purple or dark (but bright) blue tie. Dude. (Oh, yeah, and pants, too. :P) For casual, I wear T-shirts, band or movie shirts, or those thermal guy's long sleeved shirts when it's cold, sometimes with a vest and always with jeans and black converse high-tops. Oh, and I have this preppy sweater that I've found straight girls really dig. ;) (It's from Aeropostale, I think, which is one of those cool kids stores I used to avoid like the plague, but it has grey and burgundy horizontal stripes, apparently it makes me look like I belong in Harry Potter, which is awesome because I LOVE Harry Potter!)

I like wearing big, oversized stuff, another leftover from when I was in denial, I suppose, big sweatshirts and jackets make me feel safe, but also because I like emphasizing how tiny and skinny I am sometimes. :P

Charlie Rose, I get everything, except I still don't know what emo means. I asked my 25 yr old daughter and she didin't know either. Grandkids are too young so help this old lady out. Thanks...........

I'm pretty old, but maybe a bit more with it. I believe that the emo look is based on the hair style and attire of a comedian who goes by the single name - Emo (actually his hair style is basically a tribute to the great Moe Howard) - I have seen him perform and Androgyne comes to mind.

If I am wrong, one of you young whippersnappers can come in and correct the old girl.

Love ya,

Sally

Mia: Does this help?

My.Chemical.Romance-band-2004.jpg

It's My Chemical Romance, an emo band. Long bangs, dyed black and hanging in front of your face, tight pants, nerdy glasses, sort of a nerdy/angsty version of goth. That's emo, the fashion, at least. It was a genre of music first. (Look up My Chemical Romance's "I'm not Okay" for an example of what that music is.) Basically. (If I got one of my friends to explain it to you he could go into the history and everything for hours, but that's what it is, basically.) It's also associated with angst/self-harm and being gay or bi, as far as the people who wear emo clothing and listen to emo music go.

Like, if someone had a scratch on their arm by their wrist, a friend might say, "What happened? Have you gone emo?" or something like that. :rolleyes:

I personally like some of the music, not all of it, definitely like the style, and I guess I fit into the stereotype, since I'm bi and I used to cut myself. (Not anymore, though)

Thanks Charlie Rose.

I learned about an entire new genre today. These are the bits of knowledge that keep the 60's generation feeling young. Thanks again I'll be in L.A. visiting my musicain son in Feb. and when I bring up EMO,he'll go what ! How do you know about that.? By the way he's a percussionist and doing great, hasn't quit his day job ,but he's in two bands.....Proud of him Thanks again...Mia.

This is how I am having my hair done on Feb 20th :D (had to make a 5 hour appointment for this one ;p) and it needs to grow just a tiny tiny bit more but ya this is the goal:

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll137/S...97313_small.jpg

Lot's changed since Ohio...no more country girl ;p lol. Style varies. All black for school, but with some creativity, and a 90's grunge flashback, it's not too hard to come up with something cute. Through the day color color color, and layers. Kind of a neo-grunge/hippy mix...weird I know but I'm trying to rock it :D. Night it's usually either a dress with layers ie. thin long sleeve, or if it's just to a club (for us...bar with rock band lol) just a jean skirt, some leggings, tee shirt, and maybe a hoodie.

Sadly, with my new income from the salon + my wife working + music/gig money + being around fashion 40+hrs a week my wife and I are starting to take a strong interest Designer names....lol...and only being two hours from LA doesn't help. We've struggled for rent the last few months..but oh have we looked good doing it lol ;p...don't buy designer it's like heroin lol

I like lolita fashion dresses and clothes that approaches the style in shape or looks. I don't like tacky clothes. Though I wear a children's watch bought for 5$ in a teenage girl shop (all pink and glitters too).

I prefer skirts and dresses to pants. If pants, only jeans usually (I hate formal pants). I rarely wear blouses unless wearing a jumper dress (and I only got one of those, and it's a sundress meant to be worn as is). I tend to wear the dress itself (one-piece), a t-shirt, a longed sleeved shirt, a camis, or much rarer, an actual tank top.

I have 3 lolita fashion dresses, and my sundress approaches the style (but is less frilly). I'm planning on buying more, but probably not brand names, those cost too much.

Too cool, Misa~ I'm a big DN fan, too. I look more like Raito but I cosplay L ffffff. o^o My favorite character would have to be Mikami, he's just so messed up XD poor Teru. I like his clothes, too... *strokes chin dramatically*

Did I already answer this thread?

I will again because... uh, I c-can ffff

I LIKE TO WEAR LABCOATS AND TIES

And suits and chains and pocketwatches and, er; glasses. oh hoh hoh many glasses. If I had the money/talent, I would be steampunk all the way (1800's high fashion mixed with sci-fi elements).

But I can't afford anything really sweet. And in the Texan summer, a labcoat leads to heatstroke.

I'm living in Taiwan. There's a heavy Japanese influence on the fashion.

Lots of shiney shiney glittering things.

Dolman sleeve tops over tank tops or short sleeves are popular, as are light vests and light scarves over short sleeves or tank tops... and maybe a shiney hip belt too... layers over layers over layers, LOL... just cloth everywhere. Maybe shiney sparkley tights under it all....

None of it matches. Lots of 1980s influence.

I like the traditional flowing skirts better, and a plainer top, even a tshirt.... though I just started layering the dolman sleeve stuff too... it certainly flatters my shoulders. I go as far as daisy dukes and tights, not the extreme bootie shorts though. And due to the tropical sun on my milky white skin, I wear a big floppy beach hat everywhere I go. It also has the benefit of making my head and shoulders look smaller.

I'd pierce my nose but work dress code forbids it. I just learned that I can wear earrings to work though.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out.

      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
