I ended up swapping the handle out with a chain  shoulder strap right before I walked out the door.

You have real talent!  This is beautiful, both the style and craftsmanship are on point!  People would buy the *&*! Out of those!  I'm not joking...  give yourself at the VERY least 30 bucks an hour then multiply that by the hour it takes for a project plus cost of materials then multiply that by 1.5. 

 

I hope the last part didn't come off as condescending and mansplain-y. It's just that I'm a craftsman and I know how easy it is to undervalue your work and how hard it can be for me to ask for what I'm worth.  

 

Oh, and I loved that dress your partner got for you... gorgeous!  I appreciate your style in general, kudos.

@Erica Gabriel, you look like one those real sweet old ladies you occasionally meet when shopping.  Like...you're smiling, you look relaxed, your outfit says "casual but classy," and you've been shopping at wherever you are long enough to probably know where things are better than the employees.  Totally love it!

Me and the wife had a pretty good laugh about this last night. She now calls me her “old lady”. Too most younger folks I’m ancient.

Thank you, except for the “old” part 🤪

Oh nooooo!  So totally didn't mean it that way!  Now I feel bad.  ;_;  I'll just be over here in the corner. 🧏‍♀️

I’ll let you know when you can come out of “time out” 🤣. It was taken in good humor. No worries ❤️

I got a couple new sweaters and a friend bought me a pair of boots. I wore this to an LGBT group tonight. Just ignore the dog beds in the background.

Very nice @Elizabeth Star!  I need some boots like that.  Love the sweater to, but I think you're pulling those colors off way better than I could.  And did you do your nails yourself or go somewhere to have them done?  I could always use tips for the nails.  Mine are horrific, but no where near as clear and clean as yours look there.  Also, are the pants leggings or just a skinny fit cut sort of deal?  I really need to consider doing something with my hair...  You're like the 4th or 5th person in the past few days that was sharing pictures sporting colors.  It looks so nice!

Here's my latest efforts.  I was a little stir crazy and wanted to get out for a bit.  The only issue I have is with the hoodie.  Not for any negative reason, I love to wear it.  It's just way to warm/hot down here (I'm in Florida) like 98% of the time for wearing it to be a viable option.  Given how easily and excessively I tend to sweat, I can't get away with this as often as I would like to.

Been a little while since I posted any pics here, but this is a couple from yesterday. I love the look of jeggings/jeans but due to my "apple" shape I really struggle to keep them up even though I have a belt (I only buy jeans/jeggings that have belt loops). For this reason I tend to prefer dresses.

I usually wear a lot of black but have been trying to wear other colors. I got my nails done for the first time last weekend. I've never had them this long before. I like them but it's a real challenge to type and almost impossible to text. The bottoms are just cheap active wear leggings. I rarely wear jeans anymore.

You gals make me a bit jealous.  You look lovely!

I'm sitting here in long undies, jeans and chamois cloth shirt before bundling up and heading out to do chores and prepare for an incoming storm.  Tomorrow similar layers with insulated Cahart coveralls under coats.  I'll be sitting on an open tractor plowing snow.  I do have a lovely pink down jacket i may use as a top layer.  Oh well , the sheep don't care how i look as long as they get food and water.

 

Hugs,

I have been seriously considering getting my nails done.  The psoriasis is frustrating though.  It has stunted their growth and left them more brittle.  And I am totally  with you on darker pallets.  I usually fo with sapphire or emerald.  I make exceptions for pink though.  Gotta have my pink.   I don’t know if I could wear the active ware as well as you are.  Still going to try though. 🤗

Loving the looks you have going on!  Is that *your* or something like a wig?  Definitely a fan of it either way.  The way you have it put up.  Your look as a whole is wonderful!  That coat also looks super comfy.  I’m slightly jealous though. 😂

 

You are pulling off that shirt in the second picture with grace and that “classy but casual” look.  I seriously doubt I could get it to work for me like it is for you.

It's one of many wigs. But it wasn't until recently that a wig specialist showed me how I can style a wig in a number of ways. There are limitations, but there are quite a few different ways I can have my shoulder length wigs. In this case it was held up at the back into a short pony tail using a scrunchie.

I agree with @Charlize

Everyone looks great. I’m about to go out and clear the sidewalks and driveway of snow. It’s 20•F here so it’s about warmth not fashion this morning.

Quit the job I was hating yesterday. Still going in for a couple of weeks to take care of a client because I said I would but... behold! One of the few remaining pictures of me in my work garb!

Congrats, @Jackie C. !!!

Courage in action. Way to go!

Look for that new window to open—it'll bring you better things. Doing what you love tends to do that.

Hugs,

That's great @Jackie C.

I'm partially retired, having started my Teamsters and CLTL pensions. My business partner and I have agreed to keep our small two person company going strong in 2022, but once I reach full SS retirement age. I'm out of here.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

Snap - I quit my job today. Loved the job but fed up with my requests for some small recognition for my contribution to their profits being recognised. Not had a pay rise in 12 years! I chose time of leaving to be at the most critical stage of a major project. Be interesting to see what they say. But I shall be very happy to throw any last minute offers back in their faces. I'm choosing retirement instead. I love your hair by the way and it's cosy casual look you've got going.

      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.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
