What are you wearing today?

Well yay!  Just officially tried on all the thrift store stuff!  It, sadly, lacks a fitting room.  It has an extremely liberal return policy because of that, but you essentially have to buy anything you think you may want to keep to prevent it from flying away.  And YES!  I found leggings!  Also some nice jeans.  I will start sharing as soon as they are cleaned!

Wear your leggings and a "sports bra/top or something else suitably tight to the thrift shop. Then just "try things on" in the aisle over top those items. That's what we all do in our area. lol

I think I did a thing!

 

Look who decided to make a cameo.

 

P.s. I have got to figure out what to do about my hairline.  I love my hair...  I just wish I had more of it!

This is a wonderful idea.  I'll have to start trying that.  Thank you!

That outfit is so cute!  I can't tell if there is a design on the mask or if it's just one color and obscured.  I need a scarf like that!  Your four legged friend approves too apparently! 🤗

So this girl here went out dancing with her friends tonight. Great time as always! Somehow I ended up in charge and got three different friend groups together so now everybody knows each other!

 

As an FYI, the leggings have a pocket! It's just about the right size for ID or a folded dollar bill. They get sweaty though. A small price to pay!

 

You can't really tell in this shot, but the top is backless. Perfect for club wear.

 

 

 

Hugs!

Date night with my girlfriend…

Cute dress. I wish I had enough up top to pull off to wear one like that.

Well thank you @Ticket For Epic!  I took @Jackie C.’s suggestion this time and went with the Mermaid shade with the glitter coat.

 

 

I love the outcome!

Glitter makes everything better!

@Jackie C., you mentioned the shirt you had in that one picture that said something about Satan but you covered it with that hoodie.  Is it this one?

I could really use this shirt. Sadly, I couldn't wear it work because it says Satan and not (insert positive religious figure). Then again, if it said "Maybe today, Jesus" the message might be about the same.😉

@Lenneth. The jeans look great, not to mention the badass boots!  Oh, and the shirt is perfect!

 

Coincidentally, I got my first pair of girl jeans today.  I'm going to miss pockets.  Small price to pay but still.  Trans men must put on their first part of gender appropriate pants and be like... ”behold the awesome power of pockets.  Mua hahahah haha.”.  Meanwhile, we girls are like... "What the hell is this crap.  Tease me with pockets... *Mumbles... Useless, pathetic excuse...

Yes, I'm showing off my girls.  *Blushes and turns away*

 

Squats are definitely in my future, I do not have the booty to fill these out.  My waist makes me roughly a size 12-14 and my hips 6-8.

 

  Okay, I can sew and have been tailoring my boy shirts for years, even my t-shirts...  Because I am not shaped like Sponge Bob!!!!  (Sorry for the mini rant). But I haven't the first idea on how to alter jeans.  Looks like thrift shops and spend the money saved on a tailor or rather a  seamstress now, as I assume they would be better suited to my needs.

 

I've just given up on pockets all together. They're all small and useless. At least with a purse I know where my stuff is and I won't find anything in the wash.

@Elizabeth Star, you’d love the book *Good Omens*.  The description of Satanists is literally, “they have bills, forget to pick up the kids from sports games, leave the bathroom sink running, and love holidays.”  They are in no way different except for holding Satan as their diety.

Totally worth it. Even the thong creeping up my backside.

Well, I'm going to have to spend the next, oh, 80 hours pretending I'm that someone I used to pretend to be. So looking forward to Sunday night.

 

Sorry you have to suffer through that @Hannah Renee.  That's never fun.  Good thoughts and wishes your way though!  At least you have the strength to do it.  And honestly you look like a woman that is looking at someone being obnoxious like, "Nope.  Not taking your bovine refuse.  Sit down, shut up, and speak when spoken to."  I'm also a huge fan of that tattoo.  That's exceptionally pretty.

[Mmindy]

@Hannah Renee, I feel your pain. I still have to present in guy-mode when I do travel training, this will come to an end in 2023, when my business partner and I dissolve or sell the company. I'm not out to him yet, however he has questioned my fingernails and hair length, combined with lack of facial hair. Last month at a hazmat conference in Daytona Beach, FL my wife and I were sitting at the Plaza Resort & Spa bar having a few drinks. He walked up and asked who's foofoo drink is that? I said it was mine and he just shook his head.

 

Hugs as you get through this next segment of pretending, I really do your style of dress, and look forward to being there full time in 9 months.

Well my partner is awesome and just got this for me!  I am happy.

 

 

[Ticket For Epic]

@Lenneth   Omg, Good Omens!  Pratchett and Gaiman... Best team up ever! 

 

Meanwhile....

 

Eeek!!!  Accidentally bought a crop sweater at the thrift shop during what I've come to think of as panicked purchasing.  Shopping....  not fun!  Trying things on when I get home, now that's a different story!

 

I want to love this but I'm sure I'm that kind of girl.  *blushes and hides behind her hair*

 

 

[Jackie C.]

I think it looks nice @Ticket For Epic. You certainly have the stomach for it.

 

Hugs!

[Ticket For Epic]

Thanks so much! @Jackie C.  Wish I could fill out the jeans a little better.  Truth be told, I have a pair of tight fitting sweat pants on under them so they aren't so baggy.  With a  32in waist, 37in hips and 44in bust, it's hard to find things that fit.  I am not looking forward to warmer weather when I can't hid behind layers!

[Mmindy]

Well look at you @Ticket For Epicyou're looking good. The other areas will fill in with time. It looks like you're smiling and having fun, even through the mask.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

[Ticket For Epic]

@Mmindy  Thanks you!

 

Saddly, fun time or "authentic time" as I come to think of it is over, back to "boy mode".  Sigh*  But my toes are pretty and purple, I've got my favorite panties on, as well as my favorite sent and rainbow shoe laces and a pink shirt!

 

I am more than a little ashamed that I haven't been able to bring myself to shave my beard yet.  I have had it for almost 20 years and so many things are changing that I feel I like if I shave it...  the cats out of the bag!  I remember when I first grew it out,  thinking that I was growing a mask and couldn't figure out why I felt that way.  well, that's beginning to become clear!

 

So, I guess this is me owning my shame in hopes that I can work through it.

 

 

[Katie M]

I started out today in a blue knee-length skirt, matching top, and simple black flats...however, after stoppng by Torrid to pick up the cutest pair of pink Mary Janes...I had to buy an outfit to go with them...so then it was bootcut jeans, black cami, pink kimono top - and the pink Mary Janes...lol! 

 

I did my own makeup today...going for a more natural look (read: it was a hell of a lot easier...just foundation, mascara, lipstick and a light finishing powder...

Wishing everyone a great weekend!💜

I have to agree with @Jackie C..  You have absolutely got the figure for that look.  I…don’t. 😂  I think you are rocking the look fabulously!  Enough for me to be jealous! 😜

 

As for, “boy mode,” I can empathize on the shaving issue.  I hit 36 in September and, with the occasional break, I’d been bearded since I was old enough to have one.  I’m small and look younger than I am, so I kept it to look older.  It’s not super full here (and this picture is like 13 years old), but you can tell.
 

 

I just started fighting with it in the past few months.  It’s my greatest dysphoric trigger.

 

 

See?  Can’t quite clear up the shadow.  I am behind a mask constantly. 

@Katie M, you look great!  I think I need makeup tips from you when I start getting into that!  That’s some stellar work.  Love the outfit too.

[Elizabeth Star]

@Ticket For EpicI think the cropped sweater looks good but I am that kind of girl.😉

I hid behind my beard most of my life.  It was not terribly full, but chest length to make up for it.

Cutting it off was a big turning point… I was committed.

Thank you, @Lenneth! I have a LONG way to go in learning the art of makeup - but you're sweet for saying so! Also, I think you have a super cute face - and I know a lot of women who would love to have lips like yours!
