First time wearing a skirt to work and in public. Still don't have some nice boots but I have sneakers that may be alright with this.

You are looking spiffy, sneakers work great with skirts. Little white socks with sneakers really bring out the look.

I'm not sure I'd combine straw and hay with a skirt. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE and it's itchy. Most farm girls I know are jeans all the way.

 

Hugs!

 I am so done trying to cover myself up and hide from people. I went everywhere including the in-laws today. The whole outfit: Black skinny jeans rolled at the bottom, 3in heel booties and a black Cami. In my Jeep with the windows down and my hair tied back.

OK so I finally did it. I bought my very first pair of leggings yesterday. I've never worn any before and I so scared of wearing them in public. They are tight and I'm big and I'm afraid of what people that see me will say when they see me in them. I may seem confident and I can be at times, but in this case I'm not so sure. My mom picked them out for me when we were at Walmart, she told me that I should wear them around the house until I get used to wearing them, also she said buy a long shirt for when i wear them out. I'm still not so sure.

 

What do you guys think?

I have some, but I only wear then with tunic-type tops.  I don't have much of a butt I'm afraid.

I wear them out all the time. Long shirts are your friends. They are super comfy, and fur lined ones in the winter. I was missing out. Then I needed cute boots too.

I wear them exclusively when I go out, usually with a jacket or sweat top. I find them to be really comfortable, especially on long walks with my dog. I guess I see myself as an athletic older woman, for now.

I transitioned 25 years ago and I wore leggings out shopping for the first time just recently! I'm self conscious about not having any hips. I normally wear mom jeans.

I'm wearing leggings right now. If you're concerned about your first time in public, try wearing them under a skirt. We (meaning women) all own several pairs. There's nothing wrong with wearing them out and about.

 

Hugs!

Wear them inside a few days and see how you like them. We wear clothes for ourselves, not others so if you like them then wear them.  I love them. Also skinny jeans and jeggings.  If you still have boy parts, definitely wear longer tops.  Most of the women on my staff wear them and they (staff) are all different shapes and sizes.  Case in point for me today are athletta "jeggings" which are basically leggings that have a more "denim" look. I have a longer top and use an accent piece of jewelry.  The big accent makes people look there vs my butt (hopefully)  Also today, NEW SHOES!  I'm hoping to wear these out on Ladies Weekend bar night with black "pleather" leggings and have to make sure they are broken in before roaming the streets of Savanah.

I’m wearing a pink Nike shirt, white cut up jeans and a white sweater. Nails are clear. I’m sitting at my desk at home waiting for calls. Been do long since I’ve been on this site. Life has been so hard. Still alone and struggling. But I’m surviving but not thriving. Anyway... have a good day.

Thank you girls. I feel better about wearing them. @Elizabeth Star, I think I too need a really cute pair of boots to wear with them. I'm going to go to a shoe store at the mall later and see if I can find anything that speaks to me. I really need to find a long top or I hope my booty looks really good in the leggings. lol

 

I really want people to say Damn! and not Damn?  lol

Cute sandals or wedges work with black leggings, sneakers work with more "athletic" leggings and of course ankle and knee high boots are classic.  Make sure you have all your seasons/occasions covered;) Happy shopping!

OMG! I just got two tops I ordered from Amazon. I love them so much and ones long enough to wear with my new leggings. What do you guys think?

That first top is kind of daring for me. You've got to give me a hint though, what do the leggings look like? I can't outfit match with just half the outfit.

 

Hugs!

I will post a pic with it together. Going to get cleaned up. I’m not looking my best because I’m spring cleaning. But here is a pic of the leggings. Just know, mom picked them out for me. Not really crazy for the pokadots. Would rather had a solid color pair.

I’m still getting used to how women wear a lot of different prints instead of how men wear more plain stuff.

I would pair that with a more solid color top, mixing patterns is challenging.  I like pokadots. Solid leggings are nice because they can go with just about any tops. #StapleItem   I have a couple leggings that have patterns but I'm basically relegated to just one or two tops to pair with them that have complimentary colors. Also, think about layers. You will notice most women have layers to their tops.  A cami or light shirt with a long sleeve top layer like a cardigan or denim top.  (both staples as well IMO)

That's what I thought. Like I said, mom picked out the leggings, I wanted a navy or black pair. But mom said they would look nice with my black top and or a over sized white cardigan. I want a white or red v neck top to wear with the blue camisole top and a nice navy skirt. I plan on buying several more pairs of leggings. Just not pokadots.. lol

 

Over all I am happy, it means that my wardrobe is starting to fill out. I'm actually excited.

Yeah, I was just thinking that about the layers. I'd go with the first top with another layer over that to cover my shoulders. Preferably in a solid black or at least a dark blue. Personally, I'd try to match with the color of the leggings and let the top be my accent. I'd add some simple jewelry (a chain or pendant, silver because gold looks awful on me) and I'd be good to go.

 

The patterned top won't work with the polka-dots. Way too busy.

 

Hugs!

      The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe tribe of Native Americans; the word means "Father of Waters."

      Fighting a fever since yesterday. Been shivering cold. even though I keep the house at 71. Went to bed at about 8 last night slept until my wifes alarm was going off.    Ashley I think you are correct. However, they won't be graced with my presence today.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      That's horrible that they are blaming you for her presumption. I hate to say it but maybe they are looking for reasons.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.
