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.

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.

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!

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
