Monica, Thanks for your comments which I do agree with. For 99% of UK weather conditions I already have clothing tied up pretty much so far, I do go shopping sometimes with cis women and I really enjoy it, they are soooo enthusiastic showing me what they consider would suit me, especially whilst abroad, other times I shop on the internet. I also have a book entitled "what not to wear" by Trinny Woodall & Susannah Constantine (they had a show on BBC about make-overs) ISBN 0 297 84331 1. Unfortunately in extremely hot weather the need to not wear much, clashes with broad shoulders and no hips, there's no getting round it. I have found that long line cardigan or edge to edge jackets work extremely well for me, as do tunic tops, longish tops that have a scoop neck or wrap over style tops that show that boobs are real and attract many eyes away from my less convincing parts, I avoid any padded shoulders, skin tight leggings are ok if wearing a tunic, if not then loose trousers, just above knee length skirts when wearing reasonably loose tops that are hip length and so on...........wedge sandals or block heeled sandals, ankle or knee boots depending on skirt or trouser types in the cooler weather. Karen, It was a steep learning curve, regarding clothing and many mistakes were made in my early in the closet days, leather mini skirts, over the knee boots, heavy over the top make-up etc, typical tranny tart clothing, which I suppose is what I have evolved from over the last 5-6 years. Of course to truly pass in real life experience, one has to dress as a cis woman does not as a tranny tart does, and also as a cis woman of my age does, not as a cis teenager! I never wear those sort of clothes now, even around the house...........because i'd look like a man in drag (in the UK aka tranny tart). Apologies for any political incorrectness above......... Having electrolysis can sometimes leave blemishes on my face that usually take 3 days or so to diminish, so make-up is required for me when I'm out and about. Trouble - yes it is, but unfortunately I need it. Both, This morning it is considerably cooler that the last couple of days, with temps forcast to be 23o, cloudy and heavy showers / thunderstorms, this is from a weather front coming in off the lovely Atlantic Ocean.............I can cope with this LoL (I can also cope with higher temps if it's dry heat and there's a wind). Cheers both, Eve
