Hi Diane, I just love the coral color on the jacket and the boots! ❤️

During the winter, I love my sweater dresses. I'm mot currently out at work or going to my office due to working from home still during the pandemic. But that's happening soon! I did recently buy a skirt suit that I'd hoped to wear to the office when we do go back, but had to return because the fit was off on the jacket.

 

Love,

~Audrey.

My office is actually a farm so jeans are normal.  Once a week I get to go to the market so I try to dress decently then.

 

Hugs,

Yeah, my go-to depends on what I'm doing that day. If I'm going out or I want to feel pretty it's different than if I plan on bumming around the house all day or moving stuff. Usually I'm aiming for "comfortable" and it's jeans, a t-shirt and either my singular hoodie or an oversized flannel shirt over that. If the flannel isn't cutting it, there will be a sweatshirt or a sweater. Hopefully my fox sweater, it's easily my favorite but it's complicated to wash so I don't wear it as much as I otherwise might.

 

Hugs!

When I was working I usually wore a pantsuit if I had meetings scheduled, or slacks and a blouse with or without a blazer.  I rarely wore skirts or dresses, but did a few times.  One reason was that I couldn't walk well in heels due to a foot condition.  Wearing flats looked nicer with pants.

Well, I don't actually present as a woman when I'm at the office, but I have always worn feminine office attire as my go to outfit when I am presenting as a woman.  Being a girly-girl, I have always loved skirts or dresses and high-heels.  You might think those wardrobe articles aren't compatible with blending in, but I have learned that feminine office attire can be just the ticket for satisfying my inner woman and blending in.  It is never unusual to see women shopping or eating out while wearing office attire.  Perhaps, they are on their lunch break, or they are meeting friends for dinner after work, or they are on their way home from work.  In any case, wearing office attire while out and about is a logical and common occurrence for many women.  So, I wear office attire a lot, because it gives me the perfect alibi for wearing a dress or skirt and high-heels.  Another benefit for wearing feminine office attire is that it can often be quite sexy without being inappropriate.  What's not to love?

Before coming out, my wardrobe was limited to what I wore to the club I go to. Most of those clothes were sexy or unusual, including Lolita outfits, short skirts, and flashy dresses. Now that I dress every day for work I have had to completely rebuild my wardrobe, so this is still a work in progress. Mostly, I go for a skirt and blouse. Sometimes, just slacks and a nice sweater.

I think it's always a work in progress. Even when you have enough clothes to get you through a couple of weeks, you still buy bits and pieces here and there when you find something cute in your size.

 

You're off to a good start though! You look great!

 

Hugs!

All great looks ladies!  I basically work as a receptionist at my massage clinic so it's not an "office" setting. I have a lot of freedom because of the culture of the place and the fact that I make the rules ;)

 

Mostly I wear slacks and a nice casual top but branch out to dresses and skirts every once in a while.  Most of my looks are on the "what are you wearing today" thread.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!

      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.

      Post 8 “The Ohio Years” We moved to Pittsburgh because of the job with US Airways.  The job involved classroom instruction and simulator training, but no actual flying, so I kept looking for an actual pilot position.  A year after signing on with US Airways I got hired to fly business jets.  The company was located in Cleveland, Ohio, but I was flown commercially from my home in Pittsburgh to where my aircraft was located, making it unnecessary to live near company headquarters.    My flight scheduled consisted of eight days on duty with seven days off.  Having seven days off in a row was great but being gone from home eight days in a row was difficult.  For the first few years the flying was fun, but after a while the eight flying days in a row, were taking their toll on me.  Those days were brutal, consisting of very long hours and a lot of flying time.  Usually, I came home exhausted and need three days just to recover from the work week.  Flying for a living is glamorous until you actually do it.  Quickly, it became just a job.    After five years as a line captain, I became a flight department manager, which required we live near company headquarters.  That meant a move to Cleveland.  Working in the office meant I was home every night but as a manager, the schedule was still challenging.  I would work in the office all week and then be expected to go out and fly the line on weekends.  I referred to it as my “5 on 2 on” schedule, because it felt as though I had no time off at all.   About the same time, we moved to Cleveland, my wife and I became “empty nesters,” with one son in the military and the other away at college.  Sadly, my work schedule didn’t leave much time for Sally.  Add to the fact that while Cleveland is an awesome city, I just never felt comfortable expressing my feminine side.  Most of my outings, and believe me there weren’t enough, occurred while I was on vacation and away from home.   One of the most memorable outings occurred over a long weekend.  I had stumbled across an online notice for a spring formal being held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, hosted by a local trans group there.  I reached out to Willa to see if she was up for an excellent adventure.  She was, so I picked her up and we drove to Harrisburg together.    The formal was held on Saturday evening and we had the absolute best time.  It turned out that organizers were a group named TransCentralPA.  Everyone was wonderful and I made a lot of new friends that evening.  We learned the spring formal was one of the group’s annual events but for the following year, instead of a spring formal, the group wanted to do a local transgender conference.  That local conference would become the Keystone Conference, and I would attend every year for the next 12.  My move to the west coast was the only reason I stopped attending annually.  I went to the first annual Keystone Conference as an attendee, but in subsequent years I served as a volunteer and as a workshop presenter; more about those in the next installment.   For my Cleveland years, the Keystone Conference would be my major outlet for feminine self-expression.  Yes, I did get out on other occasions, but they were too infrequent.  The managerial job just didn’t allow me the freedom I needed to adequately live my feminine life, and my frustration level was slowly, but steadily on the rise.  It amazed me how adversely not being able to express the feminine half of my personality was affecting my happiness.   However, a major life change was upcoming, and while it would prove to be a significant challenge in many ways, the events would ultimately benefit my female persona.  First, my mom and dad got sick.  They were in and out of the hospital and required personal care.  My wife and I did our best but living in Cleveland, we were too far from them to give them the support they both needed.  Second, I was experiencing serious job burn out.  I decided I need to find another job and I needed to be closer to my parents.    Things changed for the better when I got hired by an aviation training company as a flight simulator instructor.  I would be training business jet pilots.  The training facility was located in New Jersey, which put us much closer to my parents, and the work schedule was much better for quality of life.  Most importantly, this life change would help Sally re-emerge and once again flower.    Hugs,   Sally

      I made a living talking about bulk liquids in cargo tanks transportation as a driver and mechanic. Safe loading/unloading, cleaning and inspecting, as well as emergency response scenarios.   Hazmat and fire behavior in the fire service as well as emergency vehicle operations and safe driving. "It was on fire when they called you. It will be on fire when you get there." Arrive ready to work. I could also talk about firefighter behavioral  heath and the grieving process.   The real fun thing is I can do this for people who are not Truck Drivers or Fire Fighters. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Citizen Tax payers about Public Safety Education.   I love public speaking,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
