my favorite consignment shop is having a sidewalk sale today with everything $5!  Picked up 3 dresses and some nice earrings.  This is what I plan to wear tonight to a town green live music thing.  Liz I thought of you when I saw it on the rack.

The weather is a little cooler today. Perfect for a long skirt.

Top is from Old Navy, L

Skirt is Apt9. It’s a Med but really big. I had to take in the side by 2 inches. 

Boots by Journey, 11

Necklace (one-off), hand crafted from reclaimed copper with a Hematite heart pendant.

Love those boots.  I'm really holding on to the illusion that summer will never end here. Today I'm running errands in the convertible, 85 degrees and sunny and I am the "redneck girl next door with bikini top and cutoff jeans. lol.

I’d definitely wear something like and I like the color too.

Speaking of wearing, I'm actually glad I'm not transitioning yet. Heat rash has me sitting shirtless in the shop trying to get the sweat off me while it feels like a thousand needles are stabbing me.

Advice. Wearing a shell necklace as a bracelet with a watch will tear up your arm.

Sounds horrible. I’ve noticed I sweat a lot easier these days. Probably due to body fat  moving to different places.

I have, I like it too. Was also considering black and turquoise but it depends on current hair color. 

 

Ooh, I usually go white with turquoise. I've got an awesome dressy racerback tank that I like to wear with my white jeans.

 

Hugs!

Have you considered black AND pink? One of my favorite combinations.

 

Ooh, mine too. My favorite combos are anything around the pink to purple range paired with anything monochome, like black, white, grey, silver.

I can usually un-white anything in about 15 minutes.

Can you do me? From my picture you can tell my complexion is (generously) "porcelain." Seriously, I use white-out as foundation.

 

Hugs!

Here’s today, yesterday, and the day before. Hooray for a strapless bra that fits and does what it supposed to do! There’s something to be said for spending decent money at VS. in other news, I’m healing nicely after surgery 2-1/2 weeks ago.

So, I'm not the only one? That's why I like my black. And yet somehow I managed to splash bleach on one of my favorite black tops yesterday.

Wow what wonderful outfits @Emily michelle, @Bri2020, @Elizabeth Star and @Maddee

Sorry I've been a bit distracted with work and stuff for the last few days. But yesterday I took public transport for the first time as Niamh to go and see my daughter in London. We went out for a meal and then to a series of bars and clubs in London drinking and dancing together and with other really nice people until around 1am. It's very unlike me and I failed to get any pics from in those clubs - I was just enjoying myself too much :) However I did get one of me at Paddington station on my way back home early this afternoon after having had brunch with my daughter and her boyfriend and I'm still wearing this dress...

@Elizabeth Starit did look cute, my wife picked it out for me. I tried switching wrists but it just pulled the hair on the other side and drove me crazy. There's pics of it somewhere back in this thread.

 

Here's something I've been doing. I get nervous and uncomfortable a lot in public with makeup or women's clothing on, then I start acting different and insecure and my wife ends up having to deal with it. My solution, soul surgery. I'm making sure to go out every time at least in makeup, at least enough to be noticeable. Then I refuse to let myself feel self-conscious, I tell myself that this is my world and I am a performer so I want to be seen. I stand tall and hold my head up and smile and I make myself feel proud. 

 

I don't know if this helps anyone here but I wanted to tell you all in case anyone did find it helpful.

I'm an absolutely useless performer. When I go out as Niamh, I don't consider I am performing as Niamh, I am just being Niamh who is a woman. The rest seems to follow naturally and I'm probably way more confident a person as Niamh than I am being Neil. I don't expect that to make anything easier for you, just that's how it is for me.

This is what I'm wearing today. I know. It sucks. But it's light enough to help an old girl clean a renovating house . . . and it's very slimming, don't you think? Wish I could clean the sarcasm off my mind, but it's going to take a lot more scrubbing.

I think it was Kate Bornstein that said Gender is something we perform.

But, yeah.   I just consider I am being me too.

 

I guess it's a couple different ways of looking at it.

Alice you are having to deal with you because no one else has issues with you wearing womens clothes or make up.

The reason you feel the way you do is because somewhere inside  you feel what you are doing is wrong.

My favorite designer consignment shop had it's $5 sidewalk sale this weekend and I scored 4 new items including this normally $115 Tommy Bahama dress!  I used to be that guy who wore Hawaiian shirts all the time and now I realized that my style has just shifted to summer tropics dresses!  I do however really need to up my shoe game so I'm scrolling through Poshmark for size 12 sandals and wedges.

Nice dress.

 

Shoes are a problem.  It's hard to find anything bigger than 12, and even those are rare.  (and usually tight)

I’ve circled back to an old outfit. Just thought it would be fun to post a then and now. The first picture is the same one from page 1 of this thread, back in November of ‘20 and the second is today. Same clothes just 9 additional months of HRT.

      Satisfaction   Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Good morning, everyone! I've finally pretty much finished with this head cold. I actually got 5.5 hours of straight sleep last night without taking any cold medication...or waking up to pee. I feel amazingly rested!!   Oh, @Willow, you are in my thoughts and prayers that your throat issue becomes less of a problem over time and not more.   I'm, hopefully, going to get our grass cut today. It takes me somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours on the zero turn mower but the ground is still so wet that I'll have to slow down a bit. At least it's supposed to be sunny and around 60.   Have a wonderful day!!

      This is all such wonderful news!!!! I can feel the happiness in your words.

      We have had some real dillies come out as the initiative sort of thing, but as @Carolyn Marie said, very few make it out of the petition signing seasons.  I am not surprised at the origin site of this thing, it is probably one of only 3 regressive leaning counties we have in the state. We actually had one of these initiatives started to make it mandatory for police to shoot dead on site any Gay behaving individuals wherever they found them.  For the most part the matters are poorly written in ways to be unenforceable even if enacted.  Thus most never become law or get to the voters.

      You make some good points, AYS.  But there are usually already too many ballot propositions each election, so the proponents know it's best to wrap it all up into a nice package.  Plus, it's easier for the signature gatherers.  Otherwise they have to have a separate clipboard for each proposition.  Too much paperwork, dontcha know?   This kind of proposition is a loser in CA, so the only possible way the proponents can succeed is to give it the scariest title imaginable and try to put one over on the voters before they get wise.  Bottom line; an ice cube on a hot summer sidewalk has a better chance of success.   Carolyn Marie

      Reading that article, it seems like the attorney general gets to call it whatever unless its an outright lie.  Given the nature of politics in CA, it seems like one side has the bully pulpit for sure.  Labeling it "Restricts Rights" vs "Protects Kids" is very much a matter of perspective.  Unfortunately, that matters since many voters don't bother to read.  Perhaps a better (unbiased) way to handle it would be to simply give the ballot measure a number with no title, forcing folks to read it.    I think it would have been better to handle the various issues covered by the ballot measure separately, rather than all at once.  For example, issues relating to disclosure of medical and social information to parents.  That could be its own ballot measure, rather than lumped in with everything else.  Besides, shorter and more succinct measures are more likely to be read completely.
