An idea....I would hike that skirt up higher, almost to the ribs.  But that's just my preference...classic women's waist opposed to a highlander kilt look. 

Please don't listen to me if I'm wrong...

I saw something online once about things you learn when you transition.  One was, "You didn't know where your waist is." LOL

But you gotta go with what you're comfortable with.

You girls are looking good today.

Most important is how comfortable you feel in it.

 

Good luck with your pivotal point hun.  I'm crossing fingers for your luck and acceptance for who you really are :)

 

Hard to tell from the pic were the top ends/skirt starts but I agree that the "waist" of the skirt should be up at the "waist" which is where, if you were to bend sideways then its the point where you bend.  Then let the top hang over the skirt.  Just my 2 cents.  Proud of you Liz. we expect a report at the end of the day ;)

I have a couple of skirts and I've tried to wear them that way, but they keep slipping down. Even some high waisted pants that are 32" waist don't fit right and slide down. Aside from a belt or suspenders, does anybody have a fix for that? ?

Ooh! @Jandi, I like that top. I could see myself in something like that. It would really work with my peasant skirt.

 

Hugs!

So far the has been uneventful regarding today’s outfit. The only comment I got was from my manager who caught me out of the corner of his eye when I came in. He just wanted to see what I wearing and gave me a compliment.

I got some new blouses at Goodwill. First time I ever bought women's clothes for myself. This is the one I liked best. I also bought some makeup at Walmart and I have a wig coming from Amazon tomorrow, so I'll have a more complete look soon. I realized since I'm in my 40s I should probably dress like a "mom."

 

I can also see why people said the breast forms I had look good. The blouse makes them pop.

That's a good look for you. You should look fantastic once it's complete!

 

Your little friend looks puzzled, but I think that's true of dogs though most of their lives.

 

Hugs!

I agree, that top works well for you. Good job!  Shopping is so much fun right?

I picked up some yoga pants, a crop top/sport bra and another top to work out in but that ended up being a quasi midriff piece that looked terrible. Got all 3 pieces for $32 at Ross dress for less.  I might go back for another pair of the yoga pants because I really like the way they look.

One of the other things I bought at Goodwill were some yoga pants and, boy, that is one secret women are keeping from men. They are some of the most comfortable pants I've ever worn and one I get my shapewear they'll make my butt look nice. (Which I have more of a butt than I thought I did, but it's a fat-man's flat butt.)

Those are the other two I got, but I agree that the one with the pattern looks the best.

I agree the skirt would look better shorter but it was hiked up pretty far, it's just long. I have a mini-skirt for when it get warmer out. Maybe sooner depending how I feel.

 

Leggings are freaking awesome. I really felt like I had been missing something all these years when I got my first pair. Off course now I have 5.

 

My first day at work in a skirt was pretty uneventful. Both my manager and I had expected someone, somewhere to make a comment but it never happened. I feel a lot more liberated now. Despite the day starting around 10 degrees and no nylons or leggins I wasn't cold. Not sure if my wife saw what I was wearing when I came home but as usual I went straight into the guest room (my personal closet) and changed.

 

until next time.

A little tye dye and some flannel for today for work around the house.

Cleaning windows and mopping floors was the order of the day

That's more like it.  I did find a pair of the fleece lined variety...delicious.

 

@Teri Anne you're so pretty.  I'm finding that I haven't been a gal long enough to have clothes I'm willing to subject to house work.  It's a problem I look forward to solving.

 

Love seeing everyone's new clothes.

Going for my 3 month blood test since starting HRT. Wanted to dress up special for the occasion having been inspired by all the ladies showing off here. This is what I threw together. Be kind. ? (1/2)

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      In the warmer weather, Mine is hitting the road on the bike. Just me, the bike, and the road. Other is it music or working on one of my many projects.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
