Basic essentials

[Kate Simmons]

Just wondering what everyone's basic "en femme" essentials are for just knocking around the house or running errands. When I'm really into it, mine include:

panties
socks
bra (forms optional)
pants or jeans
top
foundation, blush, face powder
shadow, mascara, eye pencil
nail polish
wig
fragrance
flats or slippers
jewelery optional

What does everyone else need to "feel right" doing everyday stuff "en femme"? :)

Yes Kate with the exception of fragrance, my essentials are the same.

I basically wear everything except make-up wig and breast forms. My SO will never never understand.Right now I'm wearing girlie knee high socks with women's sneekers leopard skinny jeans with tights underneath and a women's long sleeve top... I wish I could wear eye liner right now..............

[Zylia]

I might skip on the panties, but apart from that it's all or nothing. I don't do "no makeup/wig" or bottoms only.

My basics are much the same as yours Kate.....scratch the jeans and pants. I am always in a skirt and nylons or tights when en femme. Yes....even in the Canadian cold weather. I was fascinated as a child with all the ladies in skirts and nylons out in all types of weather as was the style during the 60's and some of the 70's. I love the experience. I am sure other older girls here can relate to this.

Just shorts and of course heels. But I sometimes spend another 30 seconds in deciding whether to tuck or not to tuck.

IF I do decide to tuck in my male shirt, it might take another 2 minutes to get "dressed".

Around the house, no makeup, when going out I do make sure I have had a close shave.
I often wear minimal makeup because I can. :)

[Kate Simmons]

For myself even a close shave requires beard cover and foundation Bev. I've got that "Fred Flintstone" kind of beard.:)

Nothing optional about jewelry.

Nothing optional about jewelry.

Amen to that one Jackie!

What about a purse?

[daarleane]

Always carry a purse, wear panties and normally ladies jeans. That is "everyday" wear.

[Karren H]

I have no basics...... Everything I own is essential.... that's why I get over weight baggage charges when I fly....

[EllenJo]

Around the house on an everyday basis I essentially need panties, bra, camisole, skirt, ballet flats, and pantyhose with a pretty blouse. I love it when I feel like adding, makeup, wig and jewelry but I feel wonderful with just the listed essentials. Sometimes all the extras feel like too much work but the essentials bring about that wonderful calm femenine feeling that I crave.

Makeup. If I'm wearing makeup even if I'm in boring guys clothes, I feel feminine.

[LadyInRed]

absolute basics for me are panties, pantyhose / stockings
next step:
comes the shoes, and then, bra or just full on corset and hot outfit.

Pretty much the same apart from fragrence, because I don't have any, and nail polish because I always have trouble getting it off the next day.
