Hi!
As the title says, please, as I’m looking for some inspiration :)
I’ve been looking to get some clothes for a while, but it’s a bit tricky. Tyrannical country, so I can’t try them on, and in most places I won’t be able to return them if they don’t fit/I don’t like them. So I wanna be a bit careful about what I buy.
I took some of my measurements of hips, waist and bust and hope that’s enough. But what to buy if I can’t buy it all? 🤑
Underwear shouldn’t be an issue, but the rest? Blazer? Blouse? Or a summer dress? I don’t even know much about women’s clothes even though I bought full outfits of my choice twice before (before realising my gender identity).
On the one hand, I feel it is my civic duty to get thigh-highs and that similar fabric to cover the the hands/arms, with a mini skirt and short top, taking a picture of my libreboot thinkpad with neofetch running. 😅
I also think what that some of what I’ll enjoy myself in now will change when/if I transition more, and vice versa. So I don’t know. Everything is on the table, but mostly I want something badass. :)
Thanks for reading and any help :)
My very first order of gender affirming clothes I got was black shiny leggings and a hoodie with flowers on it. That felt great! I was so stuck in grey/blue/black jeans & t-shirt that even a different pattern and lighter colours felt exciting. I later got a bra I stuffed for shape under t-shirts which was very fun. Then I got a very dramatic witchy dress I wore like three times. Then a bodycon dress. I loved the sensation of wearing something tight because I never did before. I also got a flower-print office skirt I liked. I wore all this in secret at home though. I also got a skater skirt and some bodysuits, two of which I actually still wear to this day!
Basically, I mostly got shapes, materials and pieces in general that just don’t exist in the men’s section and they sparked a great deal of joy. This was 8 years ago now and I’ve since grown out of most of the stuff I got at the beginning. It was all very cheap and not very stylish. But I don’t regret getting the clothes I got, I had fun with them and they helped me learn about myself and find out what I like. I also had no idea about fashion back then so I had to experiment quite a bit and it took me a few years to really understand what looks good on me and what doesn’t. And I’m still learning, probably.
edit: oh and also high-waisted pants! Loved when I first wore them and still do.
Damn, yeah ideas like this, and wearing the clothes only at home is pretty much what’s on my mind, too.
x.x I’m gonna be extra friendly to my woman friends, so they will help me with make-up and stuff :)
Also happy to hear you had fun and didn’t regret it.
Honestly I just went through the bestsellers on shein and bought what I was interested in. Obviously I wouldn’t recommend buying stuff there now, back then I just didn’t care and it was cheap.
