Only a little? Those are AMAZING.

Y'all look so great!!

 

I can't post a photo just yet but I am wearing an abstract patterned blue dress and kind of polka dotted black tights, but then I took one of my men's button down shirts that is black with white buttons and I put that on over the top, buttoned it up and tied off the bottom at the waist. Then I accessorized with three necklaces including my quartz crystal one, a big blue floral ring, a small pretty silver and blue costume ring, eyeliner, mascara and a super dark red lipstick that I am OBSESSED with. This is the 4th time I've ever done any makeup at all and for those who messed up the first few times, it gets easier the more you do it!!

 

My fingernails are painted Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI and my toenails which I painted for the first time ever a few days ago are Peach Side Babe by Essie. I am also wearing my glasses which I luckily love and my hair looks really good today! I have never in my life felt this good about myself!

I’m lucky. 🌈🌈
 

Recovery seems to be turning a corner this week.  Less pain.  
 

So fortunate this year.  

(I’d like to think the thousands of squatting & lifting at work helped a little, 
But this surgeon definitely took it to another level

 

Looking forward to dressing up a little sometime…

Anyone like pencil skirts?

I have one denim skirt cut a the knees. I can't do it with softer material because somethings are better out of sight.

Love them. I have a couple--one in black and the other is part of a suit combo that I don't get to wear very much.

70s and above I will wearing them. I have a couple shorter skirts, not quite minis, but I wear those too warm and above temps

Shorts and a mix-matched sweater. The weather is at a point where it's cold in the morning and not-too-hot by the afternoon.

I'd have to say, Santa Fe has gotten nicer looking 😉

[Bri2020]

You two you like you are having a great time @Billie75B

 

Yesterday I picked up this formal dress from someone in the neighborhood. I say "someone" because I don't actually know her. However, there is a project called "buy nothing" that is set up as hyper local on facebook.  The deal is someone organizes a group for the small area you live in and instead of blinding donating or throwing things away, you post it in the group and see if a neighbor needs it.  You see everything from a pack of sodas that someone bought but didn't realize it's the kind no one in the house will drink all the way to major furniture.  Anyways, sometimes a gem like this comes along. I think this will be a xmas party dress this year.

@StephieGurl Santa Fe is on the list as a top city for LGBTQ+ friendly and believe they lived up to the reputation as we were treated with total respect. @Bri2020we had a blast, this is the first vacation that truly enjoyed and finally being me not the fake guy.

 

Hugs

This my shortest dress or skirt, and I am going to wear it to get my mail at my place. I am at my gfs and her friend a fundamentalist Christian will take me to my place to get the mail.

Wow that really is a nice find! Looks great!

 

Today I went for the first time to get my makeup done. When I came home a parcel waited so I did jump in. Need to practice tucking but I'm really happy with the style 😊

Didn’t buy anything.

it will be some time before the mid swelling goes away and I know for sure what size I am.  🌈🌈

 

Let’s talk about dresses!

Fitting into them.   

Iif they look good around the waist and hips they are  so often too tight to close around the shoulders hey??

Yeah, this happens.  I suppose it's one reason (or the reason) I try to go a size larger than I'm supposed to need.  Sleeves can be too tight as well.

Some websites have sizing charts that you can use to get an idea what you can get away with.

But for me, shoes are just impossible to find.

Too true. @Ivymakes some excellent points. FOr me, it's worse with blazers and jackets--I have to go up a couple of sizes, and shoes are nearly impossible to find in my size. (I wear a size 14 in women's shoes.) 

Torrid is a good source for dresses, especially for us bigger girls, as are SHEIN and ROSWE if you shop online.

[Bri2020]

Finding a dress that fits perfect is next to impossible. Loved the black one Maddee.

 

The past two days I have been living in a bathing suit since I got a new paddleboard. We have gorgeous weather in the forecast all the way to my surgery date so I plan on avoiding covid by staying on the water.  

This is a new bikini top with an old skirt suit bottom. first pic was from last evening, the second is me just sunbathing on the board in the middle of the lake this morning.

Tomorrow will be a different lake for a sunrise paddle. Plan on getting out in the twilight just before dawn and doing a morning sunrise salutation

Since I graduated from medical to regular bras I though I wear one of my signature outfits for the day with my favorite black knee high boots.
