A while back, I started a thread about clothing and shopping for the first time. I have been really embracing myself after coming out to my therapist, and have actively been looking to put my look together. I'm not sure that I would be a woman to wear dresses too much, except maybe if I had to really get all fancy for a special event. I am thinking maybe some nice skirts that conform to body type, but nothing too revealing or tight for more conservative wear such as business and offices, etc.
I'm really looking more at jeans, sweat suits, sweaters, and other winter items since winter will be here soon. I know what outfits I want for spring and summer already.
The sweaters / outfits you see here: http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=86402&kwid=1&sem=false (http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=86402&kwid=1&sem=false)
The outerwear here, such as the longer and heavier jackets: http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5736&nsb (http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5736&nsb)
There were a few things, limited in number that I liked at Hot Topic.
I also think I'm getting my make-up preferences in mind now. What's so wonderful about it all is that now I am starting to really recall my female side from when I was younger and less afraid to be myself before I was so rudely turned into "girl, interrupted". I have to say it feels really great! I am starting on the road to really liking myself and learning to love myself like I should have to begin with. Yeah, this s a slow healing process involving a lot, but I'm gonna get there.
I think my look will be more sporty, contemporary, and things in that category. I might mix a little metal / goth or whatever here and there depending on my mood. I am keeping in mind all of the great advice from my original thread on shopping for the first time. So, chime in everyone! What is your style and look? What do you like?

It didn't take me long.
While my personality is fairly tomboyish, I love my girly outfits.
Tight jeans and feminine tops are my favorite and I have been known to dabble in the casual dresses as well.

I am a little bit old, but I prefer teenagers' fashion items, such as bangles, cute mini skirts and tight tops.
