I like a few styles but for "occasions" a wrap bodycon maxi dress is my favorite. Mock wrap works too.

I don't really have a particular style. I guess it depends on the situation, but I like to show off my legs, so I rarely wear anything that goes past mid thigh.

I have gone for Office Girl/ Librarian.The reason being is the fact that I worked in an office for twenty nine years.I so admired that look on the ladies in my office.I truly wanted to be an office girl myelf.When I was a closeted dresser I went for that look quite often.I am sixty one going on for sixty two and have been happily retired for eleven years.The Office Girl look is still a favourite style.I love to wear nice top with a black skirt,midheel shoes and natural coloured tights/ pantyhose.I do make sure that I am age appropriate and wear skirts that fall just below the knees.Love being a mature office lady.So feminine and elegant

I chose Gothic, but there should have been an "Other" option as I absolutely ADORE Lolita fashion.

Btw Susan  as others have said that dress is gorgeous.

Yes, I have some that are very close to this but not the same color. I did pick up a nightgown though that is ‘slightly’ more transparent but looks almost identical to this. It is my absolute favorite to wear but I save it for special occassions.😉

I'm not quite sure what "style" this would be from the list. I'd describe it as comfy casual, but most times when I am being Niamh, you will find me in a dress like this at this time of year. It obviously changes in Summer.

I'm pretty open to most styles but black is my preferred color. I do tend to lean toward A-line or fit and flare since I don't have much in the way of hips or waist. If I could only wear one for the rest of my life I would definitely choose goth style.

I have so many "styles". I think Fashionista needs to be on the list. lol

I can go to suburbanite, to high fashion to boho to tropical resort (summer time) 

My recent vacation in the tropics made me want to fill a closet with "resort wear". The gorgeous flowing dresses and cover ups people were wearing at the resort made me so jealous. Stuff like this from White House Black Market. I'm going to need a bigger closet ;)

I don't know precisly what you would call my "style."  When I was talking with a friend of mine a few days ago, she said she felt it had a "subtle Bohemian" style and I took that as a compliment.  Like many other people who have responded here, I too favor darker colors on the whole.  That doesn't mean I won't wear other things, just that I'm partial to those.  I will admit I'm a sucker for pink.  While my wardrobe is still relatively small, the shirts I have range from your lighter blouses to standard t-shirts (with super cute and nerdy prints).  And with the exception of one of those shirts, they all tend to land within variations of blue, purple, and pink.  I do, however, wear an undershirt with just about everything.  Unfortunately I don't handle heat well which leaves me to sweat easily and excessively.  I also have a fairly bad case of psoriasis.  It's not uncommon for me to bleed in places without realizing it.  The undershirts mitigate the risk of stains and from feeling "icky."  They also help me keep my upper chest hidden when the shirt I have dips far enough or has a wide enough neck.  I have several that are pink and purple to match what I will be wearing over them.  I do that because I personally feel uncomfortable with that area and people seeing it.  It's a consistent trigger for dysphoria, and despite all my efforts to shave and maintain it, I perpetually grapple with that discomfort and become extremely self concious about it.

 

 Personally, I prefer skirts.  I do have a pair of capris and a pair of standard jeans, but I will totally take a skirt when given the choice.  I found the perfect one when I was out with my partner.  It is ankle length, made of denim,and runs on the darker side of spectrum.  It goes with pretty much anything I wear with it and has back pockets which is always useful.  I prefer wearing a lovely pair of boots I found with my skirts.  They're quite nice, are black, and have something like a 3 inch heel.  As a vertically challenged woman, I'll take anything I can get.  Not to mention they too work well with most of my outfits.  I do have a pair of athletic shoes though.  I wear those with the capris and when it's more practical for what I'm doing or where I'm going. 

 

When it comes to my hair my options are slightly limited.  The psoriasis has resulted in issues with hair growth and it is nightmarishly frizzy.  I suspect it can bend the laws of physics.  It's down around my shoulders, but won't really grow past that at this point.  And I haven't had a hair cut in the interest of controlling or changing it's length in almost three years.  So it's long enough to keep in a small pony tail with bands or scrunchies.  I'll sometimes keep the top covered in a bandana with pretty floral design, but normally prefer a headband.  I have to keep something on top of my head because my hair absolutely refuses to stay down or remain neat without something on my head pinning it down or a ridiculous amount of hair products.

 

I always accessorize if possible.  I have one particular necklace I am fond of because it's pretty and also seems to work well with everything I have.  It has a silver chain with an almost turquise hue to it's design and some faux diamonds running up on it.  I have a small selection of bracelets so far.  All of them are gold, or technically made to appear gold to be accurate.  I would prefer something in silver, but I haven't run across anything that caught my fancy yet.  I have several pairs of earrings I cycle through.  One pair came with the necklace I just mentioned, so their design is the same.  My partner also got me a pair with a Sailor Moon design.  My watch and glasses might not really qualify as "accessories," but did get a pink band for the Apple Watch and frames colored metallic pink around the lenses and a kind of rainbow collage down the ear pieces ending in a small heart.

 

Finally, I have something I would describe as a shawl and something like a thin sweater but open in the front, reaching down to my ankles, and with pockets.  I always have at least one of those.  If it gets too chilly I can break out a pink hoodie.  Toss a scarf over which of those I'm wearing, throw in the painted nails, and voila!  It's a perpetual work in progress, but, knock on wood, I have yet to be openly misgendered by anyone I encounter and interact with when I am out and about.  If anybody is, they're not saying anything to me about it.  I've also never run into problems using the ladies washroom in any place it was necessary to do so.  The barista at a cafe I was in a few days ago even told me she liked my earrings and "Little Mermaid" shirt.  Yay!  The one potential with all of this is facial hair.  At the moment I can only keep it shaved.  More long term solutions aren't possible just yet, but my mask, fortunately, takes care of that problem.

 

Last thing, and I promise I'll end this little novel I've written after that, is the bra.  I personally prefer to use insertable pads in it.  Not only does it help people more readily see and identify me correctly, it helps me feel more relaxed and at ease while taking me a step closer to being truly myself.

That actually reminds me of a dark version of the Mori Girl fashion.

I probably lack a style. I just take whatever looks good and, as long as it looks good on its own, I'll combine it with whatever else I like best. People tend to go for an 'overall' look as far as I can tell but not me. I was told recently by a woman at the doctor's office that I looked good in orange, which was very nice of her.

Having looked up what Mori Girl is and looks like, I have to agree with you.  And after looking at examples, I find myself loving it.  Thank you for helping me broaden my fashion  options!

I had never heard of "Mori Girl" but I like that look and probably have my own version of it.  (I should point out that I'm in my early 70's)

I wear dresses or skirts exclusively - except when doing work that requires pants of some kind.  I prefer below the knee hemlines, mid calf for the most part and made some heavier weight petticoats for winter weather.  Bras? depends on the outfit.  Usually layers with a full slip at the base.  Yeah, I like the shawls too.  I suspect my style is kinda Hag-Witch, heh heh.

Lately I've been wearing thigh-high socks to keep the legs warm.  Found I like them better than leggings.  Sandals or clogs in warm weather, boots in cold.

Gothic. While I do go librarian or full lesbian sometimes, my favorite clothing makes me look like the delightfully wicked witch of the woods.

 

Hugs!

Glad you like it. I keep up with tons of Japanese street fashions old and new and mostly closely related to Lolita, so feel free to borrow from my mental wardrobe anytime.

I like anything I can wear boots with. Not the really provocative boots, though. I just like wearing boots. Jeans, leggings, skirts, and dresses. I think that might fall under classic, but I don't know.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.

      I'm tired of the two-party system.  It has degraded to a system where there are only two diametrically opposed views, neither of which supports me.  I have conservative views regarding big government and government spending but I have very liberal views when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals.  And just elections of the past, I am stuck with two choices, neither of which I support. With only two parties, each with agendas that are off the left and right scales, I am not adequately represented.    Finally, I'm okay with party affiliated politicians running for office using their party views, but once elected to office, they are obligated to support the entire electorate not just the electorate members that voted for them.  Plain and simple, our government system is broken and dysfunctional.  I'll step down from my soapbox now.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow birth certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.
