? They look natural to me. Even with real ones, you need that Parka outside in the cold, it hurts less. My favorite coats are the ones that are like sleeping bags with arms and fur trim.

Well, I like the cold so wearing the parka zipped all day was more to hide them...?

You look happy! How did they feel for you? They seem to be the right size for you.

They're a nice size and fit well. They're 1000cc from a company selling on Amazon as Ivita. If I decide to go down the path of HRT I'd be happy if I ended up like that naturally.

 

I think I'm going to look into other shaping wear so have a more feminine hips and butt. In the whole "butt or boobs" line of thinking I'm more into a nice butt. (I'd love to have the kind of figure that Sir Mix-A-Lot would praise.)

OK, so you're more built like a friend of mine (she's a touch taller but until she told me I could have SWORN she was taller than 5'4"). Doesn't mean anything though, she's been practicing martial arts since junior high and could probably kill me if she wanted to. Then again, she has an intersex condition and is sporting more testosterone than I am on any given day. I've never seen anybody give her a hard time either, but she goes to a private martial arts gym so I imagine the etiquette is different.

Being trained in self-defense does help with walking with confidence, I just don't have the stamina to fight long battles cuz of my hypoglycemia and anemia leave me with a very short energy bar to work with. I don't know my hormone count cuz haven't had those tests and I'm really good at avoiding doctors. I swear if I go to the doctor and they tell me "you have a intersex condition", it would answer a lot. I don't fear the can of worms so much as the clean up cuz I really don't have the energy to be spending on the extra management. More than likely after the pandemic, I'll have to face all them tests. Didn't even get a chest x-ray.

I was thinking once my (rather sizable) income tax return arrives I might go clothes shopping, even if I only go to Goodwill.

Got some of my favorite items from Goodwill, you just might need a bit of repair work after but it's all still good.

Seriously. Goodwill, thrift stores and resale shops are a freaking goldmine. You can find some great pieces for not so much cash. It takes some looking, but looking is fun too!

There is a Goodwill Outlet within sorta reasonable driving distance.  I have found some nice things in those big bins.

So true Jackie! Several months ago I went to a Value Village and they were restocking the shoes. They added a cute pair of ‘like new’ SAS casual shoes in the size 9-10 part of the sales rack. A woman standing closer than me picked them up, tried them on, and looked at me and said, “I’d buy them if they were blue tagged” and put them back. Blue was the 50%off color that day. After she walked away I tried them on and they fit perfectly. I paid $7.50 for them and it was seniors discount Tuesday so I got 30% off.

 

Later that week I went to see if I could buy another pair online figuring I could get a pair for $40-50. Nope, at the time they were priced at $147.50. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn male or female.

@Niamh

? Love them killer deals but it is sad when you can't repeat cuz of the original killer prices. Those do look very nice and I like the maroon dark red color. They also have a reasonable height and have a good heel. Good shoes may be expensive but since you need your feet well kept, some things are worth the extra money.

80% of my wardrobe is thrift store finds.  I live in a pretty affluent area so thrift stores are always stocked with nice things here.  Sunday I'm going to look for some more yoga pants, I need to size down! I should only have to spend about $5 each so in theory a $20 bill would be my cost for the day. Problem is, I will probably fill a shopping cart for $100 lol.  Yes, I have a problem.

SAS are very comfortable!   That was a fantastic bargain. 

 

I have a pair of Chanel slip on flats that were given to me by an aunt.  They are divine to wear.  I know they were four figure shoes to buy new.  Are they worth that?  No but it shows what a hand made shoe can be.  Cheap shoes may look nice but they don't last.  I'm into having things for the long run.  

 

The majority of my clothes are second hand.  Way cheaper and lots of life left!  Win-Win!

I just ordered a pair of inexpensive hip-and-butt shaping panties and some cheap yoga pants that are one-day shipping so I'll give them a go tomorrow. From what I'm seeing there's a price floor for decent quality shapewear and breast forms and right now I'm only able to touch the very bottom. For example, I'd love to see how a larger chest would look on me, but couldn't afford it.

 

I live in the Indiana suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky and we're pretty solidly middle class area and the Goodwill store reflects that. Sometimes there's some amazing deals, but it's slim pickings for nice things other times.

Hara you look fine and the boobs are just right. Yeah it was cold here today so deff wear a coat.

I got out and found a few tops and a pair of jeans today so it was a productive day.

Goodwill is one place I go to all the time.You never know what you will find there. The clothes selection is awesome you just  have to comb thru a  lot to find the jems.

Going to hit some pawn shops tomorrow and find a decent digital camera that doesn't wash everything out like my phone cam.

Well call me dumb as a rock seems I posted the wrong pic. LOLOL I have no idea if its possible to delete attachments.

To top it all off the pics I took tonight I deleted the whole group accidentally.

Not a good night at all but I am laughing at myself .

Thanks Vanessa I will wait until Jackie comments and see what can be done.

Its not a big deal really I just messed up.

I keep way too many pics stored on my phone and was cleaning it out and deleted my new pics like a bozo.

I like that picture @Teri Anne you look adorable.  Nice look @Niamh, I'm enjoying getting dressed up for my zoom meeting.  Therapy is another safe place I like to look nice for.

 

I've been having great luck mixing Goodwill with a little Walmart, H&M, and ebay.  All pretty cheap.  Retail for the staples and thrift shops for the unique pieces.

 

I actually dug out some man clothes today, but only because I'm wet sanding and polishing a car, and need some junk I can throw away after wearing.  I guess I'll save some of that stuff for disposable clothing. ?

After 42 years, I don't think I'm ready to give up the easy sizing on men's pants. And I've thought for years that the "female version of me" would wear men's jeans for the same reason. (And I've met plenty of women who do that.)

Ask a mod, we'll take care of any edits you like.

 

Jealous though. I wish my hips looked like that. I'm basically Wonder Stick.

Ew, really? I junked all my man pants because my very, very delicate skin could not deal with the heavier, coarser fabric anymore. They just feel like wearing a mail sack.

I second the ew. Mail sack has got to be the most accurate description yet.

I donated every piece of male clothing I had except a few hoodies and some t-shirts from places I've been. The tshirts I sewed up for a more hourglass shape and a dart here or there.  They are still to big but at least they are feminine.

 

Today I really felt the need to "rock it". I've been having some dysphoria lately so out came the skirt with a few pleats in the back, tights, pumps and a ribbed top that almost feels like a really light sweater. It flairs nicely and makes me feel like I have some hips. lol If I have to work on the weekends I might as well look good doing it ;) 

Everything here except shoes/tights were thrift shops including the jewelry.  Minus shoes, this whole outfit was probably $18-$20. The shoes were clearance rack DSW.  They are Clarkes so they're very comfy.  I think they were about $30.  I have to say, I'm very lucky to live in such an accepting area and running my own business means I can present the way I want.  I really feel for those of you who can't.

I felt like dressing up today. I also put on a bra after my first round of pictures made it PAINFULLY obvious I wasn't wearing one.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
