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.

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!
