This is my "puttering around the house" look. It's not even 3pm, but I doubt I'll be going anywhere for a while.

My first post here.  I was getting ready to go for a nature walk with a local group but it got canceled.  I stopped my makeup halfway through because I was failing at it.  So now here I am working around the house.

Nature walk? It's either warmer there or you have antifreeze for blood. I mean I feel chilled when I look out the window.

 

I'm finding I like tunic-length tops like that one. I prefer to show off my badass rivet belt when I can, but tops like that feel comfy and they're easy to do stuff in. I like the boot style too. I can't tell, are those slip-ons or is that a zipper I see on the outside?

Also, do they come in a size 13?

 

Hugs!

I work outside for the full shift even if it's-25.  Chicago area is currently about 31 but about to get a lot of snow.  Just need to bundle up a little more.

Thanks Jackie for helping with the pic I appreciate it.

It was a half decent pic  but not what I wanted to post.

I have to give HRT  and my genetics / mom credit for the hips,big thighs and rather large butt.

I look just like my Mother which is fine by me.

I realized that when I posted it. It's the bathroom my roommates use more than anyone else and they're slobs (We're all slobs, to be honest, don't look at my kitchen sink.) One of the odder realizations as I've been starting to embrace my feminine side is that my house is a sty and I really need to clean it.

I never judge people about how the keep house because mine is not perfect either.

Dirty mirrors are kind of a pet peeve with me and mine get nasty in a weeks time and I keep a squeaky clean bathroom and kitchen.

Not dusting every week is what I am guilty of.

Thanks.  We got the full set.  We saw it while we were looking for stuff when we moved.  Did not need it but had to have it.

I have a huge king sized water bed frame I bought 25 years ago and it has  4 huge drawers and in huge storage area in the middle.

I put a reg king size mattress in the frame many years ago.

I just can't get rid of it because of the storage.

I have a queen sized sleigh bed in one of the other bedrooms and can't bare to get rid of it either.

I think many of us face this dilemma.  As we go through life we hone our tastes and end up with things we love and can't bear to part with.  Sometimes life isn't fair!

Thrift store fashion show!  I went looking for some workout pants and a crop top-no luck. However, I found some leggings that I might be able to work out in if they aren't too warm, 2 pair of skinny jeans, some "pleather" pants a necklace and earrings.  $22!

I LOVE THRIFT STORES.  My wife didn't snap pics of the necklace or 1 pair of jeans but here's the rest. I got the "leather pants" because one of my employees (age 25) said I absolutely had to have some to which I responded- "uhm, 54 years old here". So when I saw some today I bought them as a joke to show her but now I like them. haha. I never thought I would be confident enough to wear them but since my wife approves I will keep them.

How I dressed after work today. I'm going to get some lower shaping garments, larger breast forms and wig over the next few weeks.

Good haul Bri. I'm brave enough to risk thrift stores yet.

Next time I visit my son in Chicago we're going to a thrift store!

I think you will find that with a little shapewear you won't need larger breast forms. (those look great)  When I wear some tummy control or some hip/butt pads it makes my breasts stand out more.   High waist jeans/pants will work the same way for you. 

I thought I wanted bigger but i got clocked more when I presented that way because they are really hard to get to look natural.

Of course, if this is all for homewear getting clocked doesn't matter.

Have fun shopping- one of my favorite activities ;)

When I was  a normal weight and pre hormones I had to use hip and butt pads to set the illusion.

I got clocked a lot back then too so be ready to face that and just own it and be yourself.

The main thing is make your hips as wide as your shoulders and have boobs in the middle you should do fine.

Remember women come in all shapes and sizes but the main thing is attitude and confidence.

Don't hide or skulk in the corners trying not to be seen that just makes you look suspicious in public and brings more attention to yourself.

So true. Making eye contact also seems to help. At least it does for me.

My main thing I'm doing right now is finding a "look" I like and developing it further until I have the comfort to go out in public wearing it.

I hear that. It took me a while and I'm still working on it. It's pretty hard to do these days since all the fitting rooms are closed. The process of buying clothes on line, waiting for it, then having return it only to find out they don't have that piece in the "right" size really sucks.

It kind of reminds me when I first developed Hara Surya in Second Life and it took me about a year to find the right combination of looks that felt like "me." Except, you know, in real life.

It sucks big time!  My clothing expenditures in 2020 were miniscule, and not by choice!  Whenever it's safe to use fitting rooms again, I will be ready! 

 

My best luck with online buying has been in brands who's sizes I already have and that I can be reasonably sure will still fit. However, with the changes from HRT, clothes in my wardrobe that "still fit" are getting gradually rarer.  Shape shifting does indeed affect how I look in my jeans and my tighter tops, just to name two.

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol
    • Sally Stone
      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.
    • Ivy
      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Finding a few pictures from a trip to Thailand I went to 10 years ago.They were pictures taken with Katois aka ladyboys.It was cool to meet them and planning to go back next year.A couple of them saw I am transgender too.

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      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. ❤️
