Hey girls and boys!

Thanks to the support of some very nice people - fashionistas here, I'd like to start this thread basically to show some of my acquirings in the world of clothes.
It took me about a year to build up my clothes lineup to dress appropriately and decently for mostly all the occasions. For me, it was a very pleasurable experience - I learned many things, and still more to learn to become a successful and a beautiful woman.

As I said, I started collecting my new clothes 1 year ago – it was the beginning of my transition. First, I started to go out in leggings and some nice sweaters and blouses. I had a lot of staring at me back then. It was annoying and not pleasant at all. At that time I could only dream about passing and wearing dresses, but to wear them without a good passing would be making fun of myself, if not something worse.
At the beginning of my T, I met a beautiful and very feminine woman Alexandra - a visagiste, stylist and a make-up artist in the beauty salon. I confided to her, and she became my ideal of a woman, my close friend and a teacher, who helped (and still helps) me to become a successful woman. She was my worst critic, but at the same time, while I was progressing, she encouraged me to dress more and more girly and come to her work (of course, it was during the daytime and in the crowds of people on the streets, lol). But it was a good experience.
Finally, my feminine nature and our combined work with Sasha did what I am now – just a girl!

P.S. I'd like to express my gratitude to my dear friend LearnedHand for the beautiful shawl that he made himself and gifted/sent to me. Henry, please know that I will care and give your work of art a proper use for a long long time.

All your clothes and the shawl look very beautiful on you Albina, and your sleeveless shirts and dresses really show off your lovely arms and shoulders. Should we expect a Fall/Winter Fashion Show in a few months?  ;D

Since I still dress like a girl at work, I am going to have to copy you with the black pencil skirt with the white shirt and belt. That looks really nice and professional.

Thank you so much, Henry - you words are the sweetest music to me!
Ahaha! I don't know, maybe we will credit this  honor to somebody else?
I am so tired after the whole day of shooting, but it was enjoyable. Besides, I now have my new album. My friend from Germany who brought me the camera we were shooting with today, already replied after viewing the pics: "Just one word - chic! Now I see Albina 100%".

Yes, I like that business style attire too. I actually copied it from the model girl from the Fashion TV.

Oh my Albina! You look amazing in all of your new clothes! Absolutely beautiful. I like all of them, but my favorites are the red leopard print dress(WOW), the white dress(oh my SO cute), and also the sleeveless checkered top dress with black waist.  Thanks for posting all of these for us to see. I love them all, you're such a classy girl!

Oh, and wow, amazing job, Henry on the shaw. I'm impressed.

I absolutely adore fashion. I live for the TV show Fashion Police and have a addiction to Pinterest. lol... I see you have a mix match prints in there which is the trend right now. Some great colors you have in the mix as well.


I particularly love these two outfits the most.



I also really love this look. You can't go wrong with a pencil skirt. Very classy.

Yes, c'mon Spring let's have a style show!

How do I put a link in a post on here?  If I can't do that, I'll have to wait until I can find someone to take a pic of me in the dress when it arrives in 7 business days lol.

I usually just copy and paste, and it tends to work

Hey, Spring!

Ask me whenever you have your pic ready and have problems with pasting or giving a link to your album - this one is the easiest.
Besides, since you will be taking a pic anyway, may I ask to show your other dresses and skirts that you sure have. Please!

And Learnhand, I wish you could show us your attires too. Please, do!

Your Albina.

Ah, I don't have much fashion sense, and I haven't found any nice clothes my size, so for men's clothes I've mostly just been wearing t-shirts and jeans.

However, here's the latest FTM casual wear (that Em so kindly made into a shirt at my request: http://skreened.com/gyrlsandbois/hen-to-rooster)



And, here's more clothes that I'd wear in public outside of Pride Fest  :P



Any fashion tips on men's clothes is appreciated.  :)

Edit: to fix photos

Even that one already says to me that you have a fashion sense.
The pics are very nice, and the boy is cute! Thank you for sharing!

And about tips on men's clothes. Personally I was learning and developing my style (I love European) based on viewing the German clothes catalogs, such as Otto, Baur, Quelle, Bader and some others. With some variations and improvasitions I could make a bit of my own style. But yes, when I was a boy, I was also keen to my clothes and how I dress. I still have a lot of classy brand clothes made in Germany and Italy. I preferred Italian made shoes and suits.
Mostly two types of costumes: classical, business - for work, and casual - for all other activities.  But any of them try to have of the good brand.
2 suits at least to have: classical black one and a lighter one, which could be of a more modern style, like this for example here:

Hey Spring!

Unfortunately it is just snowing here in Berlin (Germany) but nethertheless I decided to dress up for going out. I love to dress up, sometimes the look may be a little too girly for my age but I like this style:

Okay, let's see if those two worked! :) if they did, thanks Henry!  One of the dresses I ordered for a wedding I'm a bridesmaid in so that one will be shipped to the brides house. The other I ordered for a wedding I'm just attending, I should have that one in a week and I'll post a 'real life' picture of me in it when I get it.....although I'm no where near as tall as the models wearing them in. The pictures, so I'm guessing I'll need them hemmed.

Thanks Albina!

Dear Spring,

Oh my gosh! These 2 dresses are absolutely stunning, as well as the model girls wearing them. I just can imagine how beautiful and proper they would be on you.
I unreservedly LOVE them and so happy for you, Stephanie!
I will be looking forward to your pics. If the dresses are long, yes, please hem, and they will be perfect on your slim and so feminine figure. Do yourself this favor that you deserve.

@Lara,

Very nice outfit, which  fits you perfectly. Thank you for sharing!

You are dressed much like me in my daily uniform which usually consists of skinny jeans, Rhonda Shear wireless racerback to minimize the pointiness and jiggles, black or dark crew neck T shirt, zip front hooded sweat shirt or vest, baseball cap and athletic shoes. A lot of women dress the same way locally for just hanging out.

Learned, you might add a sport jacket or two to your wardrobe, if you are on the petite side check out the boys department for fit. It seems that most men's and boy's jeans are cut low-rise and sometimes don't do a person any justice through the pelvic area and a little fattiness can squish over the tops. You don't appear to have that problem, but I find that Lee Jeans are cut with a higher rise, I like the top button at my navel and hate the (jeans hanging off my ass look.)
