Actually not looking forward to Summer

[Cristi]

In general, I dislike Winter and am a real Summer person (then why do I live in the NorthEast??)

But in one respect, I am not looking forward to the end of cold weather.

Because in general people wear more and thicker layers in colder months, I've been able to underdress to a much higher degree all Winter, and now that t-shirt and shorts weather is coming back I see and end to that. :(

I always underdress to some degree (panties) but during the Winter I also wear tights or pantyhose every day in stead of socks. Also, this Winter, I've been able to wear a bra EVERY day since September. I'm at the point now where it is just automatic to grab one when I pick out the rest of my clothes for the day. I'm so used to it now that the few times I've forgotten, I've had the feeling that something was not right until I remembered and put one on.

So now that Spring is (almost) here, I'm going to feel a bit odd for the first few weeks when I can no longer put one on for work without the straps showing through my thinner Summer shirts.

One resolution I'm looking into is to find some camisoles to wear under my shirts that, if the outline DID show through, might just look like a sleeveless t-shirt.

Basically though, I'm already starting to look forward to Fall when I can feel like I'm fully dressed again!

I can't wait for the warm weather to get here. Short shorts and tank or tube tops, bikinis everywhere.

GET NEEKED!!!!!

[Linda St. John]

Cristi, it's really not a problem . Instead of camisoles buy some womens tank tops ( I go to Gap or Old Navy:2c: ) ..they have wider straps and don't look much different from mens except the neckline is lower. Never had any questions ...

I feel your pain girlfriend. On top of all that, no more shaved legs and underarms. What a drag.

[Cynthia Anne]

Gees What's wrong with shaved legs, shorts and pantyhose! I'm looking forward to it! You only go around once! You've got to make the best of it!

[StaceyJane]

The part I hate about summer is that it's too hot to go out in a drss with pantyhose and makeup.

[SandraInHose]

I still wear my pantyhose daily under my jeans and slacks at work. Unfortunately, they have to come off when I get home as I can't very well stay in jeans and sweatpants all the time...especially here in Phoenix during the summer. The wife still thinks I'm nuts that I even want to wear pantyhose in this heat!

Painted toenails - not a Summer thing in drab.

[Kim_Bitzflick]

I have worn a bra to work EVERY day now for the last year or so. I do wear a satin camisol & no one has said a word or even flinched. I wonder if they noticed. If they did, they still treat me the same. I make sure to wear a flesh colored cami & bra when the shirts are thinner.

Why not? I do it.

I do it year around wearing sandles

[busker]

It may be t-shirt weather for some, but for those of us who have boobs, the summer months can be really trying. It's 80 degrees and i'm still clinging to my light-weight jacket. I too like the winter months because since I wear a bra daily it is much easier to conceal. I'm looking into a chest binder that i saw mentioned on the FtM forum. I will never be able to go bare-chested again, but then we can't have everything, can we?

Nonsense! Have you taken a look around you? Either:

1. You haven't noticed any hairless legs on guys because, like 95% of the population, you don't check out guys' legs.

2. You have noticed quite a few hairless legs on guys because they're bicyclists, swimmers, tattoo displayers, CDers or just like the feeling of shaved legs. Nobody else cares one way or the other.

Well, that is one I don't have to worry about. As a cyclist, I get grief from my friends if I DON'T shave my legs often enough. I will have to let my chest and arm hair start growing back, though.

Hey, chest and arm hair cause drag too, and it would look rather odd to have furry arms and smooth legs.

[Loni]

hot weather, the heat of the valley 115 F at 2:am. no go here, i need to under-dress as the company required clothing scratches and i must have something better next to my skin. kinda like a klinger problem. no rash...just really does hurt a couple places.

I wouldn't be caught dead in shorts and t's with hairy legs and underarms. Still shaved, summer or winter.

[Danni Renee]

I can't wait for summer! I shaved all my hair for the first time in my life and I am NEVER going back! I am not sure what to do about bras this summer though, I hadn't thought about it too much. My work clothes are still heavy enough to conceal it during work. What I have thought about is what to do about tan lines. I bought my first bikini recently and I cannot wait to wear it out but I am not sure how to conceal the tan lines.

[crossdrezzer1]

it has been a month since i last shaved,,all the body hair is back,,,frown,,, not feeling girly anymore,,hate the cold but at least I can have smooth skin and body and go out to local stores not being crowded by tourist,,, the benifits of winter..

[Dawna Ellen Bays]

Hate the heat, hate the humidity, hate that women put their boots away...

[noeleena]

If you live in Central Texas, your probably not as delighted at the thought of summer as most people are. In the summer time here, It gets into the high 90's and STAYS there for two or more months straight. The makeup just melts off of your face . . .

So true...so true...so true...

[Tina B.]

I love summer, shorts, Capri's, and flowery skirts! Warm days up to the high 60's cool foggy mornings. Here on the North coast of California, summer is soft and gentle, sometimes a little to cool in fact. Just warm enough to wear summer fashions, cool enough to be comfortable in make up and wig. I love summer, with the garden filled with flowers, and getting out in the back yard, to walk among them in full dress, it makes me feel very girly on a warm summers night.

this issue may be a non-starter as it doesn't look like spring is EVER gonna come to the Northeast...

True. Got an 'April Fools!' snowstorm today, but I fail to see the humor in it.

[Christine1954]

I am not looking forward to summer for some of the same reasons as other members have said.
I am also not looking forward to summer as the nights become shorter and my time to dress reduces as the days become longer. I can only dress when the house is closed up with the curtains or blinds closed as we are overlooked on all sides. My wife is OK with me dressing but will not allow me to cut out the natural light before dark falls. As the days become longer my Christine time will become shorter and shorter. ................. ROLL ON AUTUMN and the longer nights again.

Christine,

I don't worry if the neighbors see me. In fact I walk around the neighborhood dressed sometimes.

I keep my arms, legs, and chest shaved, and nobody notices it. I wear denim skirts with otherwise men's clothing instead of shorts. Most people don't notice that I am wearing a denim skirt instead of shorts.

It is surprisingly all the differences we can love or hate the weather warming up. Today we had an unseasonably warm day. I went out with my wife and was a bit self conscious. I came to realize that you can cover up a lot of ills with the extra layers when it is cold, but when it warms up, you better be right.

[Eryn]

Spring has definitely sprung here, with a high of 92 today!

My wife and I went grocery shopping today so, with this thread in mind, I kept an eye out. Saw one guy with smooth legs and fuzzy arms and another with both smooth. That's in just one visit to the supermarket.
