prettylillycd: prettylillycd: This past week marked one year since I purchased the first femme clothing for myself. Since that first package arrived at my door, I believe there has only been a single day that I have not worn something girly around the house. It’s usually nothing more than pj bottoms and a feminine t-shirt or top, but it makes my whole world feel right when I put them on. As with any anniversary, inevitably thoughts turn to the past and what led up to this point. Below is a small sample of some of the things I have learned during this year. I am a shopaholic I truly am, my closet is overflowing. I am still learning what works on me, some of the items do and the others I am sure I can find something to go with them to make the perfect outfit! Sizes are just someone’s random half assed guess Seriously, I am sure there will be some in depth investigative reporting soon to confirm this. If it looks good on the ultra petite anorexic teenage model, it’s probably not for you I know it’s cute and even a bit baggy on her, but you’re still probably going to have to stretch it out of shape to get it over your head and the hem won’t cover your belly button. Self checkout is better than sliced bread I know people say that no one really cares what you are buying, well they must be shopping in different stores than I am. I also shop the local discount store early in the morning. Although there are plenty of bored employees stocking shelves at that time watching your every move, the odds are greatly reduced that your ex sister-in-law’s best friend will come around the corner of the cosmetic aisle just as you are grabbing your favorite brand of mascara. She knows for a fact that you have no one in your life to be picking this up for. And she has a big mouth. Makeup is the ultimate game changer One of the hardest things to learn yet can make the biggest impact on your appearance. Even subtle changes with your makeup can change your looks from “chic princess” to “psychedelic clown turned crack whore”. Nail polish is liquid happiness When first coming out, Caitlyn Jenner was asked what she most looked forward to as a woman. She was widely criticized when her answer was nail polish, but I get it. Nothing can lift my spirits more! Pantyhose is designed to only run when you are making that last tug to confine everything in the control top I love wearing hosiery but sometimes getting pantyhose on can be a challenge. And why is it when you do get everything situated just right, it is at that moment you realize you need to pee? Having smoothly shaven and moisturized legs is the best feeling in the world… for about 24 hours If I stopped all this tomorrow, I don’t think I could ever go back to hairy legs. But that prickly sensation and bumps in certain areas is definitely a turn off. I have tried every trick and product I can find, but still have problems. It is getting better, I don’t know if it is what I am doing or my skin becoming accustomed to shaving. These are just a few of the things I have learned along the way. I don’t know where this journey will lead me, but I do know I have never been happier. Thank you to everyone that provided support and encouragement, you have truly been a blessing! Please share this and add some of the things you have learned as well. Throwback ThursdayI wrote this about 2 ½ years ago, but is still relevant today! -- source link
