Classy!

[Bri2020]

All the talk/choices of skirts inspired me today.

 

[Linda Marie]

Very nice. Truly amazing how the background also matches your outfit. 

[Linda Marie]

So this is what I'm still wearing today, just a clearer picture.

 

[Teri Anne]

Very pretty Linda and Bri

Looking great ladies! @Bri2020, that skirt is out of this world.

 

Hey @ElizabethStar, I'm thinking tights are the answer.  There's a wide range of thickness and opacity.  The higher the "denier" number, the more opaque they are.  It's like wearing pantyhose, but feels like a little more armor for your legs.

Remember the saying Short enough to be a woman but long enough to be a lady does spring to mind.

I have some dresses that I wear in hot weather at home.  But I'm not sure I would wear them when out and about.  My youngest daughter tried to get me into something short awhile back.  I told her I needed to act my age.

I did that with one jean miniskirt. I put it on, said, "What are you doing?" and put it away forever.

 

Hugs!

Pantyhose don't last very long so once you find the brand you like buy a gross of them.

I generally go for the not so sheer brands they seem to last a lot longer.

Being short and fat it makes finding ones that fit  a PITA.

Larger sizes generally mean the intended wearers are taller and bigger so being 5'4" means there is very little choice for me as far as pantyhose goes.

Spanx makes some great support hose but they tend to be too thick to be called pantyhose.

It is interesting to feel like a teenager on the inside, but be in the body of a senior citizen.  It's a little insane sometimes.

That's a nice necklace, is it turquoise? I have a thing for dragonflies.

it looks like it but may be fake.  It has the "weight" though.  Got it at a thrift store (like everything else I'm wearing except the shoes. lol)

 

[Elizabeth Star]

I stopped off after work and up some cheap pantyhose. We'll see how it goes.

 

I got some outfit inspirations and coaching from a co-worker today. She's the one who gave some clothes a few weeks ago and has been very helpful, supportive and understanding considering she said she doesn't understand the "whole trans thing".

[Teri Anne]

Well school her on what being trans is all about.

I have several real women GFs and they didn't understand at first but I explained a lot to them and they have become great friends.

[Elizabeth Star]

What could be improved on? She treats me like any other woman. Has defended me from the guy at work who has a problem with my clothes. Even explained me to her mother as one of her girl friends and so much more. I would also rather show someone what it really is to be trans vs. explaining. She’s quickly becoming a good friend and Ally. 

[Teri Anne]

I think you are right so there is no need to explain anything.

She sounds like a great friend.

I have a few female friends like that and gender really doesn't come up in conversation.

They treat me like any other girl friend.

I said that just in case she asked questions about it.

[Elizabeth Star]

If she does ask I will answer truthfully.

[Linda Marie]

Me again. Today I'm just hanging out in my basement again.

I chose this outfit today because well, I just wanted to. 

I did how ever tried to put some sort of theme for today.

 

[claire1000]

Linda Marie I just love both looks and those shoes are perfect for the ensenble

 

[Bri2020]

Tuesday is elecrolysis day and I just couldn't get motivated to doll up with all the whiskers to it's "yoga day" for work attire.  I stole back my new top from my wife and just some loose leg yoga bottoms and sneakers.  Couldn't bother with the hair so just pulled it up and clipped it. I did at least put a necklace on. lol

[Linda Marie]

EEEEKSSSS...I don't miss those days at all. I went for over 2 years, both elect. and laser.

Still need more work done, but I'll get back to it I think. I'm pretty clean now but still...grrrrr

I don't want to go back?

It seems to never end.  90 minutes a week for last 5 months.  Today I go to my dermatologist and she shoots up my lip with lidocane and then I rush over to my electro lady who spends the whole 90 minutes on the upper lip.  I can't take it any other way.  Taking forever.........My chin is pretty clear now and most of my cheaks is just the straglers, although there always seem to be straglers.  My goal is face complete before FFS in December. I will still have the whole neck to do after that though (and straglers it seems. lol). I can't do laser being redhead.

BTW, I love your outfits and coordinated shoe choices!

 

[Linda Marie]

Yes the upper lip...I did really good on that part....until....UNDER THE NOSTRILS 

Damn lightning bolts going up your nostrils and then your eye and into your brain echoing about....

Electrolysis can be very painful at times, other times it is just pow pull. Gosh the things we put ourselves through.
