Hi Rachel-Christina and Korra;
Rachel, you look absolutely gorgeous in the romper. The HRT has obviously done absolute wonders for your skin and your complexion is just so good. Then on top of that you look really nice in the romper.
Kora. You too look fabulous in shorts. Would love to se some pictures of both of you standing up in those outfits.
A number of years ago when I was stating to transition again I got very self conscious about showing to much bare skin. It was sort of comforting to wrap myself all up, leggings or tights long sleeve arms etc. Then a cis girlfriend told me to come out with her for lunch one summers day in Devon and she made me wear a summers dress (sleeveless) with bare arms and gathered under the bust and about 2 inches above the knee. It is a beautiful dress. Anyway I just went out in this, with the dress and just panties and a bra, open toe high heel Christian Louboutin sandals with of course my arms and legs fully waxed, painted nails and toenails in my colours (OPI ), plus some nice big womens sun glasses, matching orange handbag and with a slight breeze as I walked down Exeter High Street I just felt fabulous. As my girlfriend said - no one will read you, because you look 100% female and you own your space. She was right too, even when a slight breeze lifted my skirt dress up a bit.
Another time when I was in Marbella visiting Facial Team, i spent virtually al my time in Short short denim shorts plus a sleeveless crop top (or when I was by the pool, a one piece high thigh and bare back one piece. Having so much bare skin on show I think it helps one to feel great. Mind you just must ,make sure your arms, underarms, legs and bikini line are completely waxed. These days I get a Brazilian done which leaves me bare there except, for a "landing strip" of hair which is left on my mons pubis (the top of my pubic bone). This is usually a strip of hair (i.e. a rectangular shape) but some girls prefer a very small triangle.
This way I both feel, and look great with no unsightly hair showing anywhere.
These days I am having Laser done to remove underarms hair permanently and my beauty therapist is trying to persuade me to have the pubic hair removed by laser too. Maybe thats a step too far!
