Today I'm wearing this. I did change shoe colors, and jewelry, most important is the smile on my face. It is genuine.

Thank you girls, I plan on buying several more pairs of leggings and a nice top that can go over the first top. I really want a white cardigan. but it depends what I can find. On the up side, I've lost weight to the point where I went from a 4-5x pants to now a 3 x. I just need to keep going so I can find more things in my size. :)

I'm so jealous of you girls. I'm still trying to develop my style. Still trying to learn what goes with what. I have a lot to learn.

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!

I agree with Jackie.

I tend to go with print bottoms solid top or print top solid bottoms.

Layering works too but the only way to find out what looks good together is try it on.

I wear leggings and jeggings a lot and I am short and fat but I love them. I don't care what others think I wear them because they are comfortable.

I think your Mom suggestion with the polka dot leggings I would rock that look for sure.

I’ve been kinda copying my friend’s style. Of course I asked her first then she gave me a bag of clothes.

I just look at women and what they wear and try to copy the ones I think look nice.

 

So do most women. Of course the next step is where you think to yourself, "That looks great on HER, but would it look great on ME?" Tragically I'm built like a 2x4 so often the answer is, "No, I'd need breasts to pull that off." I miss changing rooms. Trying things on in the store was awesome.

 

Hugs!

This so happens when I'm trying to get ready to go out.  Back when I was living as a guy it was so simple.  It's insane how many changes I make before I get out the door.

I love my cardigan for layering.  And the right necklace can draw attention from where you don't want it to be sure.

Its funny how I bought a load of stuff online recently. I'm desperate to go proper shopping, anyway. Bought a nice shirt to wear with jeans on my last counselling session, only for my counsellor to come on the Skype chat in exactly the same outfit. So much for individual style haha.

Hi, @Holly Elizabeth!  There IS a lot to learn.  A couple of helpful sources I've found to feel more confident and better understand women's fashion:

  1. If you're interested in dress styles, check out the information presented at the bottom of this link:https://www.kohls.com/catalog/womens-dresses-clothing.jsp?CN=Gender:Womens+Category:Dresses+Department:Clothing
  2. Hundreds of terms on fashion defined in plain English:

Best wishes!

I’m learning the plight of womanhood. I changed 3 times this morning before heading to work.

I have been out for a little over a decade and I am still learning fashion stuff so I just keep my eyes open and pick items I like.

Still learning make up tips and tricks from women I know too so I guess the learning never stops.

I used to wear some body con type dresses and A line dresses that were snug fitting when I was smaller  and they actually make great  long tops now paired with leggings and jeans.

@Teri Anne, I do this with a few of my dresses too. Most are longer than tunics but still work for this purpose. They work perfectly with jeans and leggings if I have a complimentary matching color...and I always do! lol

@gina-nicole-t Emptying your closet is like opening a flood gate. It’ll fill up just as fast as you emptied it. Your lucky the ladies dressing rooms are closed. It would likely fill up even faster if they were open. ?

My guy closet has more ladies clothes than mens clothes.

I need to do some closet cleaning and get rid of a bunch of stuff I have been holding on to  but I doubt I will ever be able to fit in any time soon so they need to go.

I have stuff I bought last fall on sale and I am too big for those now.:(  Clothes are a constant issue with me.

This was one of my BIG milestones. Getting rid of any shall we say clothes from my past lives. To me it was one of the most profound moments and meant this was my way forwald. However it did hearld the end of that life. In a way I suppose it was just part of the mourning process. Like you get the clothing of someone who has passed away together before taking them to a charity shop. He was now gone completly. But this new and improved person had arisen from his ashes. So it was also a celebration.

Faster. I've got at least twice as many options than I used to and even less places to put them.

My go to outfit is usually a skirt and top but after all the comments about the closet I took inventory of my own and realized I have a lot of dresses that I rarely wear.  So, two things about me and dresses.  The first is: there are only a couple of styles I think look good on me.  The second, and probably the reason I don't wear them much, is because I have always thought of a dress as a dressier form of attire.  Looking at my dress collection now, I realize many of them aren't any dressier than some of the skirt-top combinations I wear.  

 

Recognizing this, I should probably wear dresses more often.

I find i go through periods where i prefer to wear dresses and other times a skirt and top. Guess thats a great aspect of womens clothes that you can change what you like to wear depending on your mood. Lots more options than boring mens clothes lol.

Jodie, you couldn't be more right!  Men's clothing is uninspiring and dull.  When I wore men's business attire daily the only way to express my sense of fashion was to change up the necktie.  I hated it!  It would have been so much more inspiring had I been able to wear women's business attire.  I would have rocked the workplace!

Today is a working day on the farm when old jeans, a UPF 50 shirt and a sunhat are necessary.  Not as ladylike as i'd like but i won't be going to town.  I'm fixing the shed where the buck goats lived and where our new ram lambs will live.  A busy time here as spring comes in.  

 

Hugs,

      I have wondered how basic training is for transgender recruits?   Kymmie 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Some of them are us.  I view while logged out sometimes.  But I also know that so much of this forum is public.  I really wish more areas were "members only."  I'm aware that stuff I post here is publicly viewable, so I never post last names, first names of other people, pictures, or give my location.  I tend to think my husband and GF would be displeased at the few things I do post here.... and they may be right.   Our times are pretty uncertain, and it seems to be "fox hunting season" out there.

      On May 4, the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles did a whole 90 minutes of music that was all written by Trans composers and all of our singers and musicians were Trans / NB.  Several of the pieces were actually written by our chorus members.  (I was running a $3,500 set of video cameras on the show and am editing the the massive gigabytes they put out today. We had several guest artists either on stage or who contributed material.  One of the artists was Wrabel who wrote the song The Village which he has dedicated to the Trans Community and describes a young Trans child and the problems they had in their village.  The other MAJOR Trans Artist was Jennifer Leitham, a Bass Viol and Bass Guitar player who as a young man played with the Big Bands of the 60's and 70's in her male self into Transition, and wrote an autobiographical song entitled Manhood which tells of her love of the men she played with in the bands but her not really fitting as a man. Jennifer has played with the Chorus before and is always good music fun to have around.  Two of our members collaborated on a music and poetry piece simply entitled "I'll - - " which brought some tears with a promise to Trans Young People with the whole chorus shouting "I'll be there for you, I will be there for you" said for Trans Kids.  (We actually had a few Trans kids in the audience to hear it.)  My video editing program has about 40 minutes to go producing the main body of the edited video which has the actual song clips in the right order.  Next to put in the Title slides and the credits.  The stuff I get myself into.   The concert took place at the Renberg Theater which is part of the Los Angeles LGB Center in Hollywood.

      Hi, I'm Felix a little trans guy from a small town. My pronouns are he/they and I enjoy music and all wildlife, I doodle on all my homework assignments. I really don't know what to say but, my favourite animal is a cow, my favourite musical genre is country, I play electric bass & acoustic guitar as well as the ukulele a little bit of piano and drums (hand drums and drum sets). I like things of all sorts and I like food, a lot. My favourite meal is French fries and a good steak. My Personal Record for dead-lifting is 310 lbs and I like to sprint and play basketball. My mum's a "bit" overbearing but what can you do. I love reading Manga, I'm currently reading Assassination Classroom, I also enjoy reading Stephen King. I plan on joining the Marines after high school and become a k-9 handler.  I think that's all. For now :)

      I didn't use makeup even in my girl form.  And certainly not now in my boy form.  I don't even like sunscreen...it just feels greasy.  I've always disliked putting stuff on myself.  Partly because of the physical feeling, and partly because I don't want to pretend to anybody.    My partners are mostly the same...makeup isn't really a thing for our faith.  But my GF and husband have one particular vanity - covering up gray hair.  IDK if I will feel differently when I start getting some of my own, eventually.

      I'm ftm but I still wear makeup on occasion to cover up my rosacea. Just primer and sunscreen usually. Sometimes I'll fill in my eyebrows too

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.

      I have the Pierre by New York Toy Collective, I think I bought it from a different online store but it is that brand. The size recommendations will say that the four-inch shaft (the small Pierre) is for people 5' tall and under. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me. The larger (regular) Pierre shaft size is way too big to wear regularly, but it is a great packer to have around for gender affirming play at home. So even if you are taller than 5', if you aren't sure and you want something easy to wear, go with the small. It is a silicone packer.

      Yes, resilient, for sure.  Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died.  The girl took it really hard, losing her father.  My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather.  He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them.  The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work.   Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them.  They don't seem to have any issues with my gender.  I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different.

      If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing.      Interesting that your wife did concrete work.  My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant.   She's a very stubborn girl.  Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.)  Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions.  My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister.  As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement.  Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find.  Experiences really shape who we are.    The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree.  Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us.  Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations.  The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine.

      I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here.  A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch.  We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry....    I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner.  So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one.  It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals.    This stove has 8 burners:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

      Not to bump this up or anything, but I just want to put one more note on the end of this...   Thank you for allowing me to post this here and thank you for all who have responded.  This step has been a huge help to me on my political journey.  I've made several key decisions in the last few days that allow me to run a better campaign for the next 4 years.  I worked my way off of the streets 20 years ago by writing math and computer programming on paper.  10 years later I was able to buy a house with the software engineering work that I was doing.  Now 20 years after getting off of the streets and having two failed bids for US Representative and likely another failed bid in the next couple weeks, I've come to the point of selling my house to run a very frugal campaign for vice-president (it's a thing even though it is an appointed position) for the next 4 years, all on the money I have earned from that work I did on the streets.   My policy going forward is that I'm not going to ask for money and I'm not going to ask for people's votes.  The vice-presidency is an appointed position.  I'm also not going to run for legislative offices anymore.  I'm simply going to tour the country on my own dime looking for good people and a strong millennial female who sees my logic and would like to be president.   I have reached out to tens of thousands of people on my own dime in the last 7 years.  Famous people, ultra-famous people, business leaders, civil engineers, random people, news people, educators, unions, politicians.  I certainly got less than 5 emails from those efforts.  Actually, I only really remember one person.  He is an educator and we had a good Zoom meeting.   I'm not bitter.  I'm not complaining.  Those of you who have followed me on this site know I like to keep things positive and talk about cooking and living healthy.  I hope that this post doesn't get buried.  I think the title is strong and my message is clear.  I don't want to bog this site down with the details of the whole thing.  I simply want people to know that there is a transwoman working to be vice-president.  Notice that I didn't title this a-transwoman-as-us-respresentative.  My politics are executive level.  I'm a whistleblower, not a complainer.  I aim to educate and inspire.
