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.

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
