[Mmindy]

@Elizabeth Starthat is a fantastic combination. You do look great, and I'm glad your partner expressed positive feelings about your look this morning.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

 

Mindy??️‍⚧️?

@Elizabeth Star I love that dress and you look fantastic, I am so looking forward to when I can fully come out at work.

@Elizabeth StarNice outfit.

I love the way your hair brings out the colors in the dress.

I’m wearing this dress again today. This time with a shrug and high heel boots. I’m in a pretty good mood today. My partner gave me a much appreciated compliment on my outfit this morning. 
 

That's a wonderful dress which flatters you and goes with your hair. The shrug compliments it. I have a similar one that I wore with a dress on my first ever time out as Niamh in public, so it means a lot to me.

[ValerieRun]

Add a belt or long necklace (with pendant at or slightly below the dress waist) with color that stands out from the dress but not "screaming", and it will have younger look

I had to run some errands today for work stuff- getting permits, licenses etc.  I've discovered boobs have power. lol. Doors being opened, two different people rushed to help me vs letting their coworker etc etc.  One was a young man the other a woman (who my gay-dar was going off on)   She was very flirty while helping me.  I think this was $$ well spent. haha

I absolutely love this dress. I'm so sad that I will only be able to wear it a few more times before fall weather hits hard.

I wore a sweater and a pair of tan pants, a combination I haven't worn in a year, to a rotary club meeting, to which I invited myself. They were all young business professionals, and my long hair definitely stood out!  I introduced myself and talked about my background, and some of my connections with friends who have been affiliated with Rotary, and my interest in the organization.

 

The guest speaker was Mayor Anne who was supposed to give a state of the city address and she was late. Someone asked tongue in cheek if any of the guests were actually the Mayor, and someone else looked at me, suggesting that any second now I would pull off the disguise and reveal my identity. HaHa.

 

They started off the meeting before Mayor Anne arrived with a warm up exercise called Prides and Rats, something you did you were proud of that week and something that maybe went south. One guy said he grew up in the 70's and was proud of his long shoulder length hair, but was now obviously bald. Then said something about being jealous of my hair! Actually, I was kind of flattered, because it means I've made quite a bit of progress over the past 8 months, to the point where people are struggling with what sort of box to put me in. One day at a time. 

 

Next week I have an interview with the local school district for a job as a substitute bus driver. I shall be very interested in their reaction.

Looking really nice there Bri! I might have to reevaluate my stance on getting my chest done.

 

Hugs!

[Teri Anne]

Liz you look fabulous in the maxi and Bri your bewbs are looking so good.

I agree boobs are kind of magical and if I show a bit more than I am comfy with things do happen. LOLOL

They will get in the way of your workouts for about 4-6 weeks though...;) No lifting more than 5-10lbs for that long

That's what I'm dealing with NOW. Though I've already blown it because my carry-on weighs more than that by about, oh, 35 pounds. I can take the occasional break.

 

Hugs!

It was cool enough this morning to fire up the oven.

Nice fresh bread for breakfast.

Yum! No bread at any store can compare to even the simplest homemade. It's been too long, I should get back into breadmaking again.

[Ivy]

Went into town as usual to the Farmers Mkt.

Looking real nice @Jandi

After 3 weeks of impatiently waiting, the custom dress I ordered showed up. I'm really impressed with the quality of the material used.

The style of the dress (A-Line) is perfect for you. You will probably hate me for saying this, but that particular subject matter on that dress might have looked better in black (which I know you like)! I love seeing you in other colours - like in this dress, but I just associate skulls with black flags!

I agree. It probably would look better in black. I'm on a mission to have more color in my life.?

It does look good on you.

I tended to avoid colors in my guy days.  Now I like a bit of color.  

Coming out was quite liberating for me.

[Jackie C.]

Love it @Elizabeth Star! That looks really good on you!

 

For myself today I'm wearing black shorts and a black t-shirt from my "heavy days," so it's basically a tent. Also, you get used to a certain lightness in female fabrics? This shirt has none of that. It's like wearing a blanket.

 

Hugs!

[Teri Anne]

You look very pretty that dress Liz and its a great color for you too.

Everyone is stepping up their game and looking so fabulous.

I always loved big colors, so the late-80's/early-90's were great for me. Then the trend passed and I felt I needed to stick with drab. ☹️ My lady wardrobe definitely has more color, though. ?

You know I love to see colour on you, it works so well but I also need to call out those sandals! Gurl- they be the bomb.

Anyone near Chicago want to have coffee do a little thrift shopping on Oct 18th? I get in around 1pm and have the whole afternoon/evening free. Heading up to Wilmette for electrolysis on the 19th.

[Ivy]

Don't expect to be near Chicago anytime soon.

 

Had to get a replacement burner for my stove since one blew up on me.

Then I went to the Target (in another city - we don't have that kind of thing here) to return a pair of shoes that ended up being not the size I ordered.   At that point I didn't want to keep fooling around with the internet anymore.

Turned out they didn't have what I wanted at the store, but I did get a refund.

I went home and ordered a more expensive pair from someone else.   Hope that works out better.  

I just gots big feets.
