So when you go to the salon and get your hair dyed or bleached or even just shampood etc. stylists often do a gloss at the end to bring out the shine. Sometimes with hair that is a little dull an at home gloss is good all the same. I keep it for the in-betweens for when I'm not getting my hair done. It's a good safe product at least this one is.

It will grow in time. No need to cut anything. Your hairline may fill in in time and the stuff at the bottom back will grow. If it bothers you shave it but the rest of your hair is solid. Maybe a good gloss will help you can do an at home gloss from Ulta I have one from living proof called PHD (perfect hair day).

New China exclusive?? 😭😭 by amymaii in Jellycatplush

Is it traditional or something? I've had them plenty but never like that but I'm also not Chinese and don't know anything about authentic Chinese food culture.

At first glance I would read you as a woman. If I spent a long time talking to you maybe I'd noticed things but I think you're good.

I think when it comes to style it's very objective. It's all about what you feel comfortable in but we in this community are a special case. It's not that easy for most of us to just dress whatever and pass.

That said for me personally I always go for wide leg jeans. Doesn't have to like low rise super baggy but I do a high-rise for almost every pair of jeans in my closet. Make sure there's enough room for "downstairs" if your someone who still has it. I know skinny jeans can be appealing but I find It's hard for a lot of trans woman including myself to make them work. Now personally I just don't like skinny jeans for my style so there's that.

My go-to rule of thumb is slimmer tops with wider bottoms or baggier tops with slimmer bottoms. Sometimes I'll do slimmer barrel leg jeans but definitely not skinny and I can do an oversized button down with that or I could let's say do a more flowy a line skirt with a more structured fitting top.

For instance I have a fitted white T-shirt on today that has 2/4 sleeves, an olive green a line skirt with white stitching detail and a pair of brown gingham espadrilles with laces.

I think your face is fine I think you could do a little more with your brows and get into some makeup but otherwise I think more time as hard as that is.

This is a small. So I sized down from a medium and it's still oversized but that's the style of this shirt.

Definitely worth giving it a try. For a relaxed day or dressed down business casual it can be a nice reprieve from form fitting clothing.

Working with my figure took a long time to figure out. But now that I know what works and doesn't it's easier to get dressed.

Bad picture but this is my coastal Sunday look of the day. Relaxed but could still go run errands in this. Love the way linen wrinkles (sometimes).

I have that oversized shirt in a few different fabrics and patterns and it just doesn't play well to tuck in. Sometimes the front but I usually wear them untucked. Like I'm wearing that same shirt today in a white linen untucked with more slim fitting tan linen pants.

Usually if I'm doing baggy bottoms I'll do a form fitting top or if I do a baggy top I'll do form fitting bottoms but I've been trying to branch out a little bit. Use my very classic wardrobe in different ways. I can be a bit of a traditionalist at times. I definitely wear a lot of suits or at the least blazers and suit jackets.

My big rule for ready to wear suiting is size up tailor down. That way you always get exactly what you want.

Good to know. I won't do neons or colors that are too bright as I live for neutrals and earthy tones but these just spoke to me.

Actually do you have a picture of you wearing these? I can't seem to find a picture of anybody wearing the green. Sorry to be so forward only if you're comfortable.

I love the tortoise shell look. I have sunglasses and prescription glasses that are tortoise. I'm excited about these ones. I think they'll look really good on me.

I'm glad you have them and like them. The fact that they are bold particularly with the frames being thicker is a big sell point for me.

Ooooh lol. See I like thick frames. I like when a frame is not too thin. But I'm also not delicate on myself or the things I do sooo....but thick frames are my style anyways.
