Hello Johnnigyrl,          I do love the 50,s style of dress, the flared dress with petticoats underneath. But I also like that girly look of dress, that Susan R [posted 26 Jan 2019] is wearing, those are my style of dresses.   love,  Helenmarie

I like a few styles but for "occasions" a wrap bodycon maxi dress is my favorite. Mock wrap works too.

I don't really have a particular style. I guess it depends on the situation, but I like to show off my legs, so I rarely wear anything that goes past mid thigh.

I have gone for Office Girl/ Librarian.The reason being is the fact that I worked in an office for twenty nine years.I so admired that look on the ladies in my office.I truly wanted to be an office girl myelf.When I was a closeted dresser I went for that look quite often.I am sixty one going on for sixty two and have been happily retired for eleven years.The Office Girl look is still a favourite style.I love to wear nice top with a black skirt,midheel shoes and natural coloured tights/ pantyhose.I do make sure that I am age appropriate and wear skirts that fall just below the knees.Love being a mature office lady.So feminine and elegant

I chose Gothic, but there should have been an "Other" option as I absolutely ADORE Lolita fashion.

Btw Susan  as others have said that dress is gorgeous.

Yes, I have some that are very close to this but not the same color. I did pick up a nightgown though that is ‘slightly’ more transparent but looks almost identical to this. It is my absolute favorite to wear but I save it for special occassions.😉

I'm not quite sure what "style" this would be from the list. I'd describe it as comfy casual, but most times when I am being Niamh, you will find me in a dress like this at this time of year. It obviously changes in Summer.

I'm pretty open to most styles but black is my preferred color. I do tend to lean toward A-line or fit and flare since I don't have much in the way of hips or waist. If I could only wear one for the rest of my life I would definitely choose goth style.

I have so many "styles". I think Fashionista needs to be on the list. lol

I can go to suburbanite, to high fashion to boho to tropical resort (summer time) 

My recent vacation in the tropics made me want to fill a closet with "resort wear". The gorgeous flowing dresses and cover ups people were wearing at the resort made me so jealous. Stuff like this from White House Black Market. I'm going to need a bigger closet ;)

I don't know precisly what you would call my "style."  When I was talking with a friend of mine a few days ago, she said she felt it had a "subtle Bohemian" style and I took that as a compliment.  Like many other people who have responded here, I too favor darker colors on the whole.  That doesn't mean I won't wear other things, just that I'm partial to those.  I will admit I'm a sucker for pink.  While my wardrobe is still relatively small, the shirts I have range from your lighter blouses to standard t-shirts (with super cute and nerdy prints).  And with the exception of one of those shirts, they all tend to land within variations of blue, purple, and pink.  I do, however, wear an undershirt with just about everything.  Unfortunately I don't handle heat well which leaves me to sweat easily and excessively.  I also have a fairly bad case of psoriasis.  It's not uncommon for me to bleed in places without realizing it.  The undershirts mitigate the risk of stains and from feeling "icky."  They also help me keep my upper chest hidden when the shirt I have dips far enough or has a wide enough neck.  I have several that are pink and purple to match what I will be wearing over them.  I do that because I personally feel uncomfortable with that area and people seeing it.  It's a consistent trigger for dysphoria, and despite all my efforts to shave and maintain it, I perpetually grapple with that discomfort and become extremely self concious about it.

 

 Personally, I prefer skirts.  I do have a pair of capris and a pair of standard jeans, but I will totally take a skirt when given the choice.  I found the perfect one when I was out with my partner.  It is ankle length, made of denim,and runs on the darker side of spectrum.  It goes with pretty much anything I wear with it and has back pockets which is always useful.  I prefer wearing a lovely pair of boots I found with my skirts.  They're quite nice, are black, and have something like a 3 inch heel.  As a vertically challenged woman, I'll take anything I can get.  Not to mention they too work well with most of my outfits.  I do have a pair of athletic shoes though.  I wear those with the capris and when it's more practical for what I'm doing or where I'm going. 

 

When it comes to my hair my options are slightly limited.  The psoriasis has resulted in issues with hair growth and it is nightmarishly frizzy.  I suspect it can bend the laws of physics.  It's down around my shoulders, but won't really grow past that at this point.  And I haven't had a hair cut in the interest of controlling or changing it's length in almost three years.  So it's long enough to keep in a small pony tail with bands or scrunchies.  I'll sometimes keep the top covered in a bandana with pretty floral design, but normally prefer a headband.  I have to keep something on top of my head because my hair absolutely refuses to stay down or remain neat without something on my head pinning it down or a ridiculous amount of hair products.

 

I always accessorize if possible.  I have one particular necklace I am fond of because it's pretty and also seems to work well with everything I have.  It has a silver chain with an almost turquise hue to it's design and some faux diamonds running up on it.  I have a small selection of bracelets so far.  All of them are gold, or technically made to appear gold to be accurate.  I would prefer something in silver, but I haven't run across anything that caught my fancy yet.  I have several pairs of earrings I cycle through.  One pair came with the necklace I just mentioned, so their design is the same.  My partner also got me a pair with a Sailor Moon design.  My watch and glasses might not really qualify as "accessories," but did get a pink band for the Apple Watch and frames colored metallic pink around the lenses and a kind of rainbow collage down the ear pieces ending in a small heart.

 

Finally, I have something I would describe as a shawl and something like a thin sweater but open in the front, reaching down to my ankles, and with pockets.  I always have at least one of those.  If it gets too chilly I can break out a pink hoodie.  Toss a scarf over which of those I'm wearing, throw in the painted nails, and voila!  It's a perpetual work in progress, but, knock on wood, I have yet to be openly misgendered by anyone I encounter and interact with when I am out and about.  If anybody is, they're not saying anything to me about it.  I've also never run into problems using the ladies washroom in any place it was necessary to do so.  The barista at a cafe I was in a few days ago even told me she liked my earrings and "Little Mermaid" shirt.  Yay!  The one potential with all of this is facial hair.  At the moment I can only keep it shaved.  More long term solutions aren't possible just yet, but my mask, fortunately, takes care of that problem.

 

Last thing, and I promise I'll end this little novel I've written after that, is the bra.  I personally prefer to use insertable pads in it.  Not only does it help people more readily see and identify me correctly, it helps me feel more relaxed and at ease while taking me a step closer to being truly myself.

That actually reminds me of a dark version of the Mori Girl fashion.

I probably lack a style. I just take whatever looks good and, as long as it looks good on its own, I'll combine it with whatever else I like best. People tend to go for an 'overall' look as far as I can tell but not me. I was told recently by a woman at the doctor's office that I looked good in orange, which was very nice of her.

Having looked up what Mori Girl is and looks like, I have to agree with you.  And after looking at examples, I find myself loving it.  Thank you for helping me broaden my fashion  options!

I had never heard of "Mori Girl" but I like that look and probably have my own version of it.  (I should point out that I'm in my early 70's)

I wear dresses or skirts exclusively - except when doing work that requires pants of some kind.  I prefer below the knee hemlines, mid calf for the most part and made some heavier weight petticoats for winter weather.  Bras? depends on the outfit.  Usually layers with a full slip at the base.  Yeah, I like the shawls too.  I suspect my style is kinda Hag-Witch, heh heh.

Lately I've been wearing thigh-high socks to keep the legs warm.  Found I like them better than leggings.  Sandals or clogs in warm weather, boots in cold.

Gothic. While I do go librarian or full lesbian sometimes, my favorite clothing makes me look like the delightfully wicked witch of the woods.

 

Hugs!

Glad you like it. I keep up with tons of Japanese street fashions old and new and mostly closely related to Lolita, so feel free to borrow from my mental wardrobe anytime.

I like anything I can wear boots with. Not the really provocative boots, though. I just like wearing boots. Jeans, leggings, skirts, and dresses. I think that might fall under classic, but I don't know.

      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.   
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      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!

      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

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".
