First time wearing a skirt to work and in public. Still don't have some nice boots but I have sneakers that may be alright with this.

You are looking spiffy, sneakers work great with skirts. Little white socks with sneakers really bring out the look.

I'm not sure I'd combine straw and hay with a skirt. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE and it's itchy. Most farm girls I know are jeans all the way.

 

Hugs!

 I am so done trying to cover myself up and hide from people. I went everywhere including the in-laws today. The whole outfit: Black skinny jeans rolled at the bottom, 3in heel booties and a black Cami. In my Jeep with the windows down and my hair tied back.

OK so I finally did it. I bought my very first pair of leggings yesterday. I've never worn any before and I so scared of wearing them in public. They are tight and I'm big and I'm afraid of what people that see me will say when they see me in them. I may seem confident and I can be at times, but in this case I'm not so sure. My mom picked them out for me when we were at Walmart, she told me that I should wear them around the house until I get used to wearing them, also she said buy a long shirt for when i wear them out. I'm still not so sure.

 

What do you guys think?

I have some, but I only wear then with tunic-type tops.  I don't have much of a butt I'm afraid.

I wear them out all the time. Long shirts are your friends. They are super comfy, and fur lined ones in the winter. I was missing out. Then I needed cute boots too.

I wear them exclusively when I go out, usually with a jacket or sweat top. I find them to be really comfortable, especially on long walks with my dog. I guess I see myself as an athletic older woman, for now.

I transitioned 25 years ago and I wore leggings out shopping for the first time just recently! I'm self conscious about not having any hips. I normally wear mom jeans.

I'm wearing leggings right now. If you're concerned about your first time in public, try wearing them under a skirt. We (meaning women) all own several pairs. There's nothing wrong with wearing them out and about.

 

Hugs!

Wear them inside a few days and see how you like them. We wear clothes for ourselves, not others so if you like them then wear them.  I love them. Also skinny jeans and jeggings.  If you still have boy parts, definitely wear longer tops.  Most of the women on my staff wear them and they (staff) are all different shapes and sizes.  Case in point for me today are athletta "jeggings" which are basically leggings that have a more "denim" look. I have a longer top and use an accent piece of jewelry.  The big accent makes people look there vs my butt (hopefully)  Also today, NEW SHOES!  I'm hoping to wear these out on Ladies Weekend bar night with black "pleather" leggings and have to make sure they are broken in before roaming the streets of Savanah.

I’m wearing a pink Nike shirt, white cut up jeans and a white sweater. Nails are clear. I’m sitting at my desk at home waiting for calls. Been do long since I’ve been on this site. Life has been so hard. Still alone and struggling. But I’m surviving but not thriving. Anyway... have a good day.

Thank you girls. I feel better about wearing them. @Elizabeth Star, I think I too need a really cute pair of boots to wear with them. I'm going to go to a shoe store at the mall later and see if I can find anything that speaks to me. I really need to find a long top or I hope my booty looks really good in the leggings. lol

 

I really want people to say Damn! and not Damn?  lol

Cute sandals or wedges work with black leggings, sneakers work with more "athletic" leggings and of course ankle and knee high boots are classic.  Make sure you have all your seasons/occasions covered;) Happy shopping!

OMG! I just got two tops I ordered from Amazon. I love them so much and ones long enough to wear with my new leggings. What do you guys think?

That first top is kind of daring for me. You've got to give me a hint though, what do the leggings look like? I can't outfit match with just half the outfit.

I will post a pic with it together. Going to get cleaned up. I’m not looking my best because I’m spring cleaning. But here is a pic of the leggings. Just know, mom picked them out for me. Not really crazy for the pokadots. Would rather had a solid color pair.

I’m still getting used to how women wear a lot of different prints instead of how men wear more plain stuff.

I would pair that with a more solid color top, mixing patterns is challenging.  I like pokadots. Solid leggings are nice because they can go with just about any tops. #StapleItem   I have a couple leggings that have patterns but I'm basically relegated to just one or two tops to pair with them that have complimentary colors. Also, think about layers. You will notice most women have layers to their tops.  A cami or light shirt with a long sleeve top layer like a cardigan or denim top.  (both staples as well IMO)

That's what I thought. Like I said, mom picked out the leggings, I wanted a navy or black pair. But mom said they would look nice with my black top and or a over sized white cardigan. I want a white or red v neck top to wear with the blue camisole top and a nice navy skirt. I plan on buying several more pairs of leggings. Just not pokadots.. lol

 

Over all I am happy, it means that my wardrobe is starting to fill out. I'm actually excited.

Yeah, I was just thinking that about the layers. I'd go with the first top with another layer over that to cover my shoulders. Preferably in a solid black or at least a dark blue. Personally, I'd try to match with the color of the leggings and let the top be my accent. I'd add some simple jewelry (a chain or pendant, silver because gold looks awful on me) and I'd be good to go.

 

The patterned top won't work with the polka-dots. Way too busy.

 

Hugs!

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me
