@Bri2021, I often dress just like that. I absolutely love the dragonfly though. I've been looking for a nice dragonfly pendant. My spouse, tragically, doesn't QUITE "get" my style choices.

 

@ElizabethStar, love the sweater. I agree, it would look good kind of off one shoulder. It is what it is though, I'd just be happy it fits.

 

@Niamh... I need your coat. It's cold here and while mine is pretty, it's not warm and I really have to layer up. I'd love some down that looks that nice.

 

I'm still dressed for the gym so I'll spare you the carnage. Grey racerback, lavender tights. Nothing fancy.

 

Hugs!

Looking fabulous ladies!  

Yes Liz, that off shoulder look would be nice although like Jackie says the sweater is nice as is. I'm not brave enough for off shoulder though.  The phone case is amazing.  

Niamh I'm loving everything going on there right down to the buckles on the boots.

Jackie given how much you work out, I don't think a pic of the workout attire would be "carnage" lol

Thank you to everyone on the compliments!

The phone case..... I actually got it awhile before I was out. It had one of those ring things on it but it blocked the image so there was no love lost when it fell off. Not that you can tell in the pic but my phone is rose gold. More things about myself I should have paid better attention to.

Decided to make an effort today. Also it's cold so I bundled up.

Behold my first experiment with full-body selfies and the timer function on my phone camera.

I chose the rose gold Apple watch when I bought one. I'd probably chose a phone like that too, except that I'm still using an iPhone 5 like they had on the Flintstones.

 

@Jackie C.  Super cute and warm! I love the blues with blonde hair look so much!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Onward to my micro-mini fashion show. 

 

 

 

I see where you're going from a fashion perspective here!  I love the front zip sweater!  Your choices all highlight my insecurities. lol. I hate my tattoos now so don't like exposed my shoulders or back. I'm also not brave enough to bear my tummy yet so you go girl!

Are the jeans new? Cause damn! you look good in skinny jeans.

This is as short a skirt as I'm brave enough to wear and as you can see, I'm covering my gargantuan and tattooed shoulders. lol

I do like you outfit, especially the skirt, but I find myself still shying away from patterns. I think white clothes hate me. The last time I wore white I made it a whole 5 minutes before spilling coffee on it.

I feel that. Every time I wear white I'm in terror I'm going to spill something on it. Doesn't stop me though. I've got a white peasant skirt and a couple pairs of white pants. I look fantastic in them.

 

Hugs!

@Bri2021, I think your shoulders look perfectly feminine in shape and size...maybe it’s the outfit but I don’t see them as oversized at all. Also, I have to say that this new hairstyle makes you look very pretty. It really frames your face nicely.

Aww- I love you right now.... we all have our insecurities though right?

My hairstyle is courtesy of a run in with an old client last night at work who just found out I was trans when she walked in. She's a hair stylist so naturally we talked hair.  Same haircut as before but after I put curling cream in she said to then scrunch it with a dry t-shirt or microfiber cloth. It absorbs some of the cream and the curls set/dry quickly.  If you do it with your hands the curls don't air dry fast enough and weighs things down.

Well, it looks great @Bri2021! Your old client gave you a fabulous new look. I like it!

 

Believe it or not, I use curling cream (given to me as a gift) like a setting cream to hold my loose curls instead of using hairspray and I have to say, it works pretty well.

 

If my hair is dry, I dampen it lightly with warm water from a spray bottle combing it thru evenly....not too wet though. Then drop a dab of curling cream into my palms and spread it in my palms and run my palms and fingers evenly through my hair. Then I comb it in with a fine comb. Then I use a blow dryer on the lowest setting and round brush my curls to style just before it’s fully dry. The loose curls last as long or maybe longer than hairspray without that tacky feel in my hair

 

I will have to try your method to see if I might look better with a few tighter curls. It could work well and may save me some time curling it when I want a different look. Thanks for the tip!

Or use a diffuser and scrunch a section of hair into it and push it up to your scalp and run it for a couple minutes / until it sets, then go to another section. I use a medium heat so I don't burn myself since it staying in one place for a bit.  Not sure how any of this will work if you don't have much natural curl but worth a shot.

Rather simple today. Going up to a friends house for a visit and wedding ceremony practice. New sweater and jeans that I got yesterday. Although I did manage to get a hint of cleavage for the first time.

I call shenanigans. From that picture that's WAY more than a hint. I wish I had that much up top.

Lol. The size is from my forms. I’ve always had a had time positioning them for any kind of cleavage. Today I managed but it really isn’t all that much

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!
    • Mirrabooka
      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)

      I so very much enjoy your posts. This one, though, hit home with me for many reasons. I was commissioned in the Army in '77, as well. Like you, I was not overly masculine in the way that many of our contemporaries were. I (still do) cried at weddings, pictures of puppies and babies, when I talked about bring proud of what my units accomplished and was never the Type A leader. In the end, it worked for me and I had a successful career.   This is, of course, your story not mine so I won't detail my struggle. It just took me much longer to understand what the underlying cause of my feelings was and even more to admit it. To act on it.    Thank you for sharing your story, Sally.
