Another Sunday Afternoon
Mood:  silly
Now Playing: Fly Away
So I was out shopping again this weekend with my totally limited funds *Sigh* Mostly a Victoria's Secret day. A girl needs those basics right? I realize more and more how small my usable wardrobe actually is. It's gonna take a big chunk of cash to get to the point where I have enough stuff to go full-time. I suppose that's what the next 15 months are for. Hm...such a short span of time between being a guy and being a girl. Hard to imagine that everything can be completed in that little stretch of time, but I'm determined to make it work.

I got another chance to chat with Jayne on the phone early today. So great to catch up with her. It's nice to have someone who's going through the exact same things you are at the same time. She understands the issues I have really well and we encourage each other to keep moving ahead. She's a good friend :-) To all the other girls out there who are early in transition and haven't really had a chance to talk with someone who understands these issues or better yet, meet them in person, I can't describe how much it helps. It's comforting and sobering all at the same time. Don't miss the opportunity.

I added a section to my HRT diary (yes, again :-P) that I found really interesting. It's a progression of head shots from before I started HRT up until now. Nothing new or exciting but it brings them all together in one place so you can see the transformation. I'm not sure that the changes are huge, but the subtleties start to add up. Hope you find it interesting (especially because some of the older photos are hard to look at now, lol).

Anyways, I'm completely lazy when it comes to school these days. Motivation just isn't there. Only 6 weeks left of classrooms and then I'm basically done with that forever. Hallelujah!!

Wish me luck on tomorrow's mental mind boggler.

;-)

Never underestimate the value of thrift stores and sales. And actually, You could probably get away with slowly integrating female clothing into your male wardrobe for public appearances if you haven't already, especially since you've said you're mostly a jeans kind of girl anyway. Heck, I'm only a part time CD, and I sometimes wear girl's flared jeans as part of my male wardrobe because girl's jeans fit me well, and no one has ever said anything to me.

Although I'm still amazed that you even "pass" as a male anymore. Your pictures look so distinctly female.

Hi Zoe :-)

Thrift stores and sales will prolly become my new best friends in the coming months. I'm actually hoping to get a lot of winter wardrobe stuff this summer (when it's on sale) and vice versa this fall/winter for the summer stuff. We'll see. As far as mixing in fem clothes with my boy stuff at the moment, I think that would definitely start throwing people off on identifying whether I was male or female. otherwise I'd be doing it already. Women's clothes are just fitting a lot better lately. Thanks for the compliment on my photos. I think I've finally realized that all this can really work.
