What are you wearing today?

took three tries this morning to find something that worked with the boots.  I find myself saying " I want to wear this (insert garment)" and then I go through combos looking for the right look with that particular garment. This morning I thought I wanted to wear a specific pair of pants with my boots but it didn't work, then chaos ensued until this combo was found.

I like the color combination, but I feel like it needs something. I'm not sure what that something is, but I feel like it's missing something. Curious about the necklace too. It looks lovely and I want a closer look.

 

Hugs!

Agree, it's just missing that little something- oh well.  necklace is a pendent you can get at michaels for $5

I like that! I'm a fan of dragonfly-shaped sparklies. It might be that something about the cut doesn't really compliment your body-type. There was a whole class on it at Keystone. The presenter was fascinating and we talked for a couple hours afterwards.

 

She also talked me into a convertible, padded, push-up bra which just BARELY comes in my size. We'll see what that does for me the next time I go clubbing (next week).

 

Hugs!

Good afternoon Vanessa,

It's good to see you putting a face to the text. Your only limit is you. You can go as far as you choose to go.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

Scored big at the consignment shop today. Daily pics will follow but for tonight's wine happy hour I'm wearing this great new pencil skirt and crop "blazer" with the same mock wrap top I was wearing earlier today (and the boots). 

Going to be awkward tonight though, I'm finally meeting my ex's boy toy. lol

Doesn't have to be awkward. Just give him a big kiss first thing to establish dominance.

 

At the very least it will be awkward on your terms. 😉

 

Hugs!

@Vanessa Michelle Congrats on starting the process. Those little baby steps are so important! I started with under layers and have progressed to jeans and tees when still needing to present male, where I am even a little makeup or nail colouring would not go over well!

 

I am so jealous of your hair @Lenneth Salon experiences are one of those things I am not likely to ever have, I hope you enjoyed it!

 

@Bri2020 I agree with Jackie! go in for a hug or the continental cheek kiss and do the meet on your own terms. 😉😗 BTW You always look so well put together. :)

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I did not kiss him but I was very cordial and honestly, he's a pretty nice guy so I'm happy for her.  I think she was feeling more awkward the more he and I talked and got along and "compared" some notes. lol

In the end all good.

This is from Wednesday. a jacket I got from my shopping trip. Asymmetric zipper "moto" style. I fricken love it.  even has usable pockets. It was brand new with tags -name brand, only $39. I love thrifting/consigning

This happens to me a lot.  More often than not, I end up ditching the item I was trying to make work for a new look that emerges in the process.

 

I see a missing scarf on this one... looks great though.  Nice bag too!  Lots of nice outfits lately Bri.

 

Your hair looks terrific @Lenneth.

Well I finally hit a salon.  It’s not fancy, but I love it.

Your hair looks great @Lenneth! I hate it that my thinning hair means wigs - but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!🥰

Agreed lenneth, your hair look like it frames your face well compared to some of the before pics.  How was your experience?  I LOVE getting my hair cut. The whole growing it out thing for the last couple years has meant only 2 trips a year to the salon though.  I do have one next week.  YEA

Katie- those shoes are adorbs!

Would look great with capris or shorts as well.

For as much hair as I have, there is a noticeable thinning in the back up by the crown. I can mask it with a messy bun or if I style it just right but alas, I started HRT a couple years to late. the FFS helped with the receding temples.  I don't think my hair has continued to thin though.  I've considered whether it's worth it to do a light hair transplant procedure. I benefit from being tall so most people wouldn't notice anyways.

Good morning everyone! I finally came out recently and have started experimenting with more gender affirming looks, like a little bit of makeup (eyeliner, mascara and lip crayon) and women's shirts, etc in public and am really feeling more like my true self. I am calling to make my initial appointment today to establish care with a gender care services MD that will start my journey to transitioning. I still don't know what all I plan to do, but at least I'm taking the first few steps finally. I hope you all have a blessed day! ❤️

Everyone looks lovely as always!  Soooo jealous of your hairline @Lenneth!

 

Well, I did it, I shaved the mask I've worn for almost 19 years!  I have sooooo much more nose than I remember!!!  Lol

Now: sadly I'm "boy mode" here...  The closet comes at a price.

So today I went to the mall, to the library, to our local Wegmans and a liquor store looking like this. This should have happened yesterday for Trans Day of Visibility. It felt so good just to be me.

Guess I'll pile on @Lennethas well. Love the look. Next Friday I will have my first hairdresser experience. Haven't cut my hair at all in 2 years.

 

I don't have any pictures of what I'm wearing today, since I'm on day 3 of 4 having to wear non transgender visibility clothing. Depressing, actually.

It does fame it more!  My stylist did that on purpose and layered the back more.  She did fight to straighten it, but it’s easier to lean into the curls now.  I am much happier!  Thank you!

      Good morning, everyone!!! Two cups of coffee in the books and I am just feeling so wonderful this morning. Not sure why, but I'm happy and smiling.   Enjoy this beautiful day!!!

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved! 
    • Ashley0616
      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone
