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 :)

    I started transitioning over 11 years ago. One of my college friends gave me a huge box of hand-me-downs and told me to take anything I wanted, and donate the rest. I still have my favorite jacket from that even though it doesn’t fit me any more

    Your tastes will definitely change over time. I used to wanna try all fem clothing at the start, nowadays I’m usually in jeans and a T-shirt

      It’s hard to beat a well fitting shirt and jeans, regardless of gender. Getting women’s cut shirts does help immensely though, even if it’s subtle.
