OK, i really like it. You've got a Boho chique thing going on. Short sleeves or a tank. I must know!

 

Neither, it's spaghetti straps. The turquoise one is a tank though.

 

Hugs!

Here's my second dress from that consignment shop in my last post. I really needed to feel better about myself today and I know this makes me look great so.....  It's amazing how clothes can either reflect a mood or make your mood.  I love fashion!

This is a double slit skirt that I wore to Denver Pride on June 27th. It’s my favorite skirt except for when it gets windy. It likes to fly ?.CA7FB35B-5E97-4855-A061-A455BFAC3A8B.thumb.jpeg.475342fd4cdc5bf6d27cd0e0fd7f65fb.jpeg

Double slit? I imagine it would fly EVERYWHERE!

 

It looks lovely on you though.

@Erica Gabriel you look lovely and the woman makes the clothes not the other way around.

@Jackie C. miss you dress a few posts up and besides liking the look I love your cute hair style I think a new avatar is in order. It makes you look younger.

Thank you. I’m slowly building my new wardrobe. My new Faire customer involves an underbust corset. That’s an adventure to wear all day.

Haven't been to the one here for a few years.   One reason I liked it was I could loose the britches for a tunic.  How could I not see?  Internalized transphobia strikes again.

@Jandi I always loved what the ladies got to wear and the envy boiled over .... I did see but was too afraid ...... at the time.

Thank you. I started growing it again in May 2020. I just recently had it styled a bit. There's plenty of gray in my locks.

Wearing kilts (I have 4) was my way of coping with my dysphoria. I learned to sit in a skirt before I came out.

@Erica Gabriel your hair must grow quickly - I let my semi-long hair start when the pandemic hit and it is a bit longer but sadly too much T far too long - I hope to have a topper made when I'm allowed to come out to my step-kids and grand-kids (my wife is ok to let them know when my daughter's father-in-law passes - he's dying of bone cancer and has already outlasted predictions of 6 months - it's almost 18 months - but I heard he is going down quicker now). I hate to wish death on anyone but I kind of would like to see him pass before too long. 

And gray hair - heck - mine to pretty gray and that is another thing I'm trying to convince my wife of - letting me play with lightening and adding some color - oh well - I'm almost 1 year HRT, have changed my name and am feeling wonderful where I am so far and look forward to the phase passed the kilts....

@Erica Gabriel Ah, kilts. What I didn't know then . . . I  must have intuited.

At a costume party when I was nine years old (1957), I wore a plaid kilt. I begged my sister to sew one for me. Not sure why I picked it, but I was determined after I saw pictures of Scots men in an encyclopedia. I wore a plaid bathing suit underneath, which was prudent because there were many up-skirt actions by both the boys and the girls. But I got respect. The girls liked it a lot and the boys respected my courage—though in all honesty it was naivete. I was a good dancer, thanks to my older sister, so I got lots of opportunities to show it off. I only wore it that one time, but my memory of it is strong. I kept it in my closet for years, as I remember now. Now I know why. It makes me smile to remember this.

cheers,
Davie

PS: Where would a shopper find such a thing as a kilt?

One of my daughters sent me a link for some kilts when I was first coming out.  I thought about it, but figured why?  I just started with skirts, I mean, why half step it?  It wasn't like I was trying to maintain some level of masculinity anyway.  It was already too late for that.

Whatever it takes whenever half measures will do so be it. I played a leader of one of the whatever-you-call-them in Brigadoon and the kilt didn't feel wrong but it didn't help my dysphoria either - kind of neutral - but that was me then.

First time buying. Wife got me leggings before but I actually got to shop for clothes. Don't ask me what style I'm going for, I have no clue. I loved every bit of them until I got to the long dresses with the plunging necks. That's the quickest way to remember.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
    • Ashley0616
      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.
