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 :)
all the family (mother and sister) in my household are other girls/women (eccentric, lesbian women no less), and given our similar proportions we share/borrow much clothes with eachother. we used to live somewhere super north so we have a lot of baggier and skin-covering clothes, especially hoodies, as well as a lot of stockings and arm warmers (that “similar fabric to cover the hands/arms”) for obvious reasons. i did of course experiment a lot with these!
personally i also began dressing by just seeing what other people around me wore, then tried to suit that to my own preferences. it definitely does take a little experience though, but of course there’s only one way to get that, so don’t be afraid to experiment :) (even if it’s just in the confines of your or your friend’s home).
currently the trend in my city is sweats and hoodies, but when i started out jeans were especially fashionable, so i tried those out, per the suggestion of a friend (note: friends are great for this!).
uh as for tops, again i have borrowed many a coat/dress/sweater from my family. still though, i found there were absolutely styles that are better than others for me. early on i discovered the fun that colorful clothing can be, and i haven’t really stopped since! graphic tees are awesome too. starting out, sweaters were mostly my favorite, but there were a few that really emphasized my wide shoulders, which i personally hated.
aside from that, it took me a while to feel confident going out with makeup. my mother is a jeweler though, so i have a lot of bracelets and other fun stuff like that!
clothing is so so fun, so do experiment as much as you can! this is just scratching the surface of what i wear
OH MY GOD i feel called THE HELL out… x3
if you do this though i think !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone would love it
Oh, you bet I’d post it to !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone !
Thank you for this write-up. Pretty cool story to read by itself :)
That’s also what I have the most qualms about (or only qualms, kinda).
Thankfully the climate here is rather hot, without long, or particularly cold winters, so I can keep it light for now (wallet wise, too) :)
