The joy of your own clothes

[Karlie Ann]

Today, in the privacy of my own home, I wore my. very. first. bikini. That is, one that fits and is my very own, not borrowed when no one was looking.  I don't look that great in it....yet, but the sheer joy of being able to wear it put a smile on my face the whole time.

I know for many of you this is old stuff - especially those of you that transitioned years ago, but it made me happy and I wanted to share the joy!

Congrats!  There really isn't anything like having your own stuff.

You're braver than I, swimwear is somewhere I haven't dared to venture yet and I doubt I'll ever have the guts to try a bikini!

Oh yes, wardrobe building is so much fun.  I still have the first dress I ever wore in public over three years ago.  Now finding space to hang everything up and keep from tripping on shoes really is a first world problem

I'm experiencing the joy of this for myself as well. I picked up a pair of nike dri fit yoga pants this weekend while thrifting. I'm slowly adding over time. I'm keeping it hush hush, so I have to keep my clothes hidden. Really prevents me from going wild with my clothes assortment.

aahhhhh the hiding days.... sometimes I miss it, and I had more money then cuz I wasnt addicted to buying so many clothes

I need to stop buying, but am considering a thrift store run today....

just wait until You get to the stage when You have far more clothes then You did before Transition and You are competing for Wardrobe room with a Clothes hoarding clothes horse of a Wife. She has three times the wardroom and drawer space than I have . All our wardrobes and drawers are stuffed to the brim but We both love shopping LOL . I t6hink she should have a clean out of old stuff but she retaliates with All my stuff is new so I don't need anything more (what a silly idea I don't think LOL) . I have already cleared out all my Male stuff .
