Tastes Change after HRT?

[Epigania]

So, I've been on HRT for a couple months.   I've bought and happily worn clothes for several years and had no problems but for the last week or so I've looked in my closet and realized I own the worlds ugliest clothes.  I can't image that I would ever buy these clothes and think I look good in them.

Has anyone else had that experience?

Clothes are expensive.  I've been going to this great site called Boutiques.com, but when I look at the clothes that they recommend for me I love their look but as soon as I envision them on me, I get this disgusted feeling inside.   Like I'm too much of a cow to wear those clothes.  Is this just my dysphoria poking through or does this happen to everyone?

Without a control to test your hypothesis, I don't think it can be claimed that it is HRT that changed your dress sense. There are too many other variable with transition that could be causing it.
My own experience is that I was a snappy dresser as a dude and I'm a snappy dresser as a gal. I certainly wouldn't wear my guy clothes again though, since they really don't suit anymore (though apparently I look dead sexy wearing only knickers and one of my fiancé's shirts  ).

And no, I don't get this 'disgusted' feeling that you're describing. That sounds like dysphoria.

Hmm ...

This is a new aspect to the dysphoria that I don't think I've had.   Though, I suppose if I didn't know better it could be considered the start of a "purge".   (Another thing I haven't done in years.)

I guess what's bringing it on is the fact that my body is starting to take a more visible female shape from the HRT and I feel like I'm in a limbo.

I hope this feeling doesn't last long ...  I have to figure out how to get over it.  

Thank you Vexing, as always, you rock.

I'd have to agree with vexing, it's impossible to know really. However, because tastes and style change anyway over time, especially if you go through a big life changing event, you may suddenly find that the clothes you were comfortable in 6 months ago suddenly feel awkward and metaphorically don't fit right.
