How did you acquire your gender conforming wardrobe?

What did you get first?

Did you shop with someone?

Do you still have some of your first fashion items?

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I stole them! (Just kidding)

Online shopping. Except for one dress that I spotted and just had to have. It was WAY too small, but it is too cute to part with.

I still have my first bra and first nightgown. I don't wear them anymore because over the years, the lace has disintegrated. Now I have them more for sentimental reasons. I keep saying I will throw them out. But I can't. Not yet. It's too soon.  ;D

The first time I bought a woman's dress was at Wal-mart. A woman customer said, "It will look good on you." I replied, "I hope my wife likes it, too." Never shopped at Wal-mart again, not for women's clothing, anyway. My daughter helped me pick out the last two dresses I've purchased. She has a much more refined sense of fashion than I do.

First I would go through self checkout at Walmart then I would order things off of Amazon but now I don't worry about it and just go to stores.

I had been known to pick out stuff and go the register in the old days.  There are many other ways that work.  Over time I have used: used clothing stores, yard sales, ebay, amazon, Walmart, Target, Fred Meyers.  I often just go in and buy what looks close and take it home to try.  What others say or think rarely has impact. 

If there is a secret, it is just carrying on like all is regular and normal.

Second hand shops, Payless shoes and Temu. I remember a black suede miniskirt with roses on it.
Butt... This was when I was 19-20. The first outfit I bought wasn't... It just looked like it was girls. I actually thought I couldn't buy clothes in the women's department. I found a pair of shorts that looked like girls shorts in the boys department and a tank top that matched and bikini underwear. I wanted to look like the girls did. I would wear it and go driving around. But I wouldn't wear it in front anybody that I knew.

I found a blouse I just had to have.  Unfortunately I knew it would not be quite the right size.
So far, I have not found one exactly the same that fits great.  It has some vertical darts to make it more feminine form fitting.  It sort of fits; but not well, so I would only wear it loosely underneath a sweater that I did not plan to take off.  I rarely wear it.  It is pretty though.  Sigh.

Silly things we do, huh?

I have not bought from the foreign bargain Web sites.

That a girl.  Why not?  It is convenient though to shop online.

I can relate to almost always wanting to look like other women. 

Now I can; but, no hourglass figure.  More on top now.  That is wonderful.
