so i haven't been paying attention to how many clothes i have gotten and just started pouring the new ones over my couch, and today i couldn't believe how much of a mess my room is, and the worst part is that i feel like if i started my RLE i wouldn't have enough clothes, i hate you bebe and your adorable dresses!!! i need to say enough is enough when i have 20 pairs of lululemon pants

Back when I was considering transition this time it slowly dawned on me that I would need to start acquiring a reasonably sized wardrobe - along with bras & knickers, shoes & stockings, accessories, make-up, jewellery, etc, etc - just to start at the base minimum when going RLE. I've made a start but it is basic... still have a way to go before I've got that much gear!

ugh i need shoes and a nice purse, i think im gonna buy a nice coach purse, and i really need to start learning some makeup technique, i look like a cake face drag queen when i try to put makeup on

haha, funny you should mention this. As someone going in the other direction I have the exact same thing!

About 3 months ago the fact that I was, and always had, worn ridiculously gross clothes suddenly dawned on me. I guess it must have been because I was suddenly starting to feel so much better in myself.

Clothes can be beautiful things. I don't really like the way they look on my body yet, but hopefully a couple more months on testosterone will start to see that change.

Oh, and I was reading the notes underneath - congrats grace on having the strength to be who you truly are

I only have
purse: 1
jackets:1 and its a cropped jacket. u can see it in my avatar pic lol
tops: 17
jeans 3
skirts:3
shorts:4
shoes:11


I don't have that many clothes cause im kinda poor and don't have a job. Those r the things my parents gave me money for. They recently told me no more money lol, but I have enough cloths to mix and match and get plenty of outfits haha.

I am finally off the self-imposed leash after decades of denial, and only PT at the moment. I've been trying to buy stuff with two eyes firmly set on a FT future, so stuff that goes together and can be coordinated easily, nothing to unique. I think I'm doing OK

It is scary how much stuff you can accumulate with a credit card and an online store in a fairly short length of time.  I'm definitely definitely not buying anything else this year. Honest

It's horrible.  I also have tons of clothes but left almost all of 'em in Michigan, and only have a few things here.  Plus I don't want to buy a whole lot because they'd just have to be packed up and shipped as luggage when I fly home.  United already charges 25 bucks for the first bag and a second is like 30.  Plus when I get off the plane in Michigan it's winter in the UP, with 4 to 5 feet of snow on the ground in the Copper Country.  Luggage would be a giant anchor as I trudge through the snow drift trying to get to my front door.     Ugh.    I have a problem ... I can't stay away from a sale.
