[SageOakley]

trying to find decent office clothes that fit appropriately can be difficult. i dont have a good mirror, but i was so happy this day. i had to search the kids section for the more 'masculine' dress shoes i was hoping for in my size, but lucked out and found ONE pair in the right size, FINALLY!

Of course, it took me that long to get this dress on. lol. I't got some neoprene to it and getting it zipped proved to be a challenge.

You have great taste @Bri2020! Love the outfit.🥰 Well worth the extra effort today. Lookin’ good!

Been struggling through dysphoric melancholy and was looking through the pictures of professional makeover photo shoot. I didn't feel gender identity concerns until about 4 years ago at 64. It surfaced with a vengeance and I was overwhelmed by the feeling I am a woman. After 3 weeks of pain and research decided to experiment with presenting myself as I felt at business specializing in transformation photo sessions. I will show two of the photos from that session. This was the very first time I had ever dressed as a woman. The makeup professionally dome, my outfits and wigs were selected with their help. I can see my gender euphoria in the pictures. Unfortunately the business was closed due to the pandemic. If you have thought about doing something like I heartily encourage. It is amazing how affirming it is to see yourself looking so good.

Very pretty, Miranda. Especially the first photo.

These are very beautiful photos of you. I agree with Marcie regarding the first pic. In the first photo, you look a little more relaxed and comfortable.

 

Your feminine figure is amazing. Curves like that are to die for. I’ll also mention that the colors you’re wearing are very complimentary to your presentation.

 

Very nice, @miz miranda

I’m thinking of doing a boudoir shoot once I heal.

@Marcie Jensen@Susan RYou are correct, I was pretty tired by the time of the second photo. The session all told was about 8 hours. I completely forgot to add my commentary on the difference between the photos. In the first photo my smile presents so much more joy and confidence. Although I was still enjoying the experience, I didn't let myself smile in the second photo.  Being a triathlete there is a technique used to cope with the discomfort in he later stages of the race, smiling. Research has shown the smiling can help diminish the negative thoughts and discomfort. As for the curves they are not mine but when I saw myself in the mirror it was bliss.

Very nice pictures

Amazing pictures here!  That Alice costume is really popping!  And Miz Miranda's pictures are over the top!  This is really something to work toward.  I think I'm pretty challenged with looking ultra feminine though.  None of the women in my life were very feminine.  I don't think I know anyone who wears makeup.  We've definitely got a hippie thing going on in my group of friends and family.

 

I took this picture a year ago.  When I came out to my best friend a couple weeks ago, his first reaction was "but you're bald!"  Of which my reply should have been, "What are you talking about?  I've got hair down to my nipples!"  I got some good pictures of my balding before starting HRT, so we'll see if it does anything up there.

 I got a quick picture as I stepped off the elevator headed in for a colonoscopy.  Certainly not my favorite procedure.

Had a great day shopping yesterday. I picked up 5 new pair of shoes and a new hand bag for $120. I really didn't need the shoes but got them because I found them in my size. Very hard to find shoes for my big feet. I also found two new dresses a pair of slacks and a skirt at the thrift store for less then $30. Shopping as the true me is so much more fun than in the past, so many more options and the colors are fabulous. Will post some pics in the next few days. Hope every one has a blessed day.

 

Don't forget to vote.

im so glad you had fun. it's definitely better shopping that way, albeit hard to find sizes. i run into that too. im looking forward to reshaping my wardrobe and dropped off some things with a gender affirming clothes swap event today. have fun, and look forward to seeing your finds.

I keep finding myself all dressed up with no place to go, so I thought I'd start a thread to show off whatever outfit or fashion piece people are feeling good about and want to share.  I'll go first...

 

(somebody tell that lady to act her age) ?

Act your age, pretty lady❤️👠👠

Went into town for some socialization and all.

[Ivy]

I met up with a friend in town today.  We had talked about wigs in the past.  She had offered to go to the wig store with me.  (She knew the people - she knows everybody around here)

I have been too chicken to go on my own.

But I came out of there like this.

I can't believe how much difference it made. 

I am quite happy with this.

…You might😊

 

What a nice friend

And hair too!

Was it hard to decide on one?

[Ivy]

I wanted something more or less grey of course.  There weren't a lot like that.  And I had thought I wanted something longer.  But again, most cis-women my age don't wear their hair long.  So that was a consideration also.   We tried this one, and I was skeptical.  But when I looked in the mirror I was like…  Wow!    What a difference it made. 

 

I still can hardly believe it.  I've been wearing scarves and hats to cover my head all along, so having it on just feels normal.

 

I feel like I'm on a roll here, with the name & gender change… and now this!

Seems too good to be true.

I'm a happy girl tonight.

[Aggie1]

I usually wear a track suit every where I go. I’m usually fairly happy with the ambiguity. Tonight though I felt the need to dress up in private. There’s a thanksgiving potluck next weekend put on by a gender support group and I aim to go in style. I need to do something about my hair though. It’s a mess. I haven’t cut it in over two years. I think I’m going to need some makeup too to cover up the potholes left by electrolysis.

Love your new profile pic, Ivy!! Sometimes change is good. You’re looking great. Best of all, you like the new look too and that’s all that really matters.

Hi @Aggie1! It feels good to dress up once in awhile. You’re looking good. I hope you have a great time at the upcoming potluck. Those types of engagements are the best. Let loose and have some fun with those who support you for you! 
 

All My Best,

Susan R🌷
