watching the styles go by

[jessielee]

working at the airport today, here in the mountains where furs and leather, jeans and skirts, ski sweaters and biker duds and all manner of in betweens are common, people watching is such a blast!
because of all of you, my sisters, i have learned to look for happiness in the face to appraise beauty. a tall woman i might have called "mannish" not long ago i now see differently. now i say to myself, i could look that good, with some work, some confidence. the very petite line of jaw and neck? i don't think so! and yet all of us are so different.
and i remember the gorgeous mother of my first child, how her visage changed when we were over but i didn't know it. structurally, i thought, she's not really that striking! watching and reading your posts, girls, is teaching me so much of what to strive towards.
humbly,
jessie
thank you.

I have been a girl watcher since I was very little. I like to see the styles and the way different Ladies dress. I often see a style or an outfit I like and try to get one like it or try to imitate the wearer.

what i find the most interesting in girlie watching are proportions .how high or low is the waist,how long are the legs,what kind of breasts(full-flat-tubular)what size.where are they positioned on her chest,how far are the hips protruding.how does the whole fit together or harmonize.
after that i also enjoy an aura of femininity-i just adore what i call full blooded woman.
i hear some rumblings in society about her making a comeback!
i think i have come close to emulating this in the past-now i have to do more age appropriate styles but that is another subject i guess-how to age gracefully

The last few weeks I've been watching a lot more closer and its really helping me to feel more fem

I have also a different way to look at women now that I had many years ago...

I'm now far more interested by their clothes and by the quality of tyheir make up. All things that I didn't appreciate much before my x-dressing became more "serious"...

I now appreciate what it takes to dress properly and to do a good job with the make up...

i hear you Eugenie.
i am sheepish talking about maturity when i feel such a giddy child at this,
but rather than the trim and professional dress i want to wear out, too much, real women around here wear real everyday fashions, unless its a special occaision. jeans, sweaters, sportswear, mucklucks for pete's sake! so while i dream of an evening gown, i dowengrade my expectations for the real world. after all, even Audry Hepburn didn't wear that dear black cocktail dress all the time!
can always dream, though,
wistfully,
observationally,
jessie

I tend to people and "girl" watch too. I tend too also look at what the person is wearing and thinking If I can wear that sort of thing too. It is nice too see the differing styles and how girls put items together.

I have a pair of shoes that are four years away from being old enough to drink.. and what I mean by having something that old is that eventually that style comes back in.. actually that style or most styles of shoes cycle around every seven to nine years I think.. seems like almost everything cycles around like that..

I regularly watch other women to see both the current style and the way they tend to wear it. Of course up here in Maine all I need to do is put on my wig and some earrings, a sweater, with my boots, jeans, parka, and I would pass as almost any 98% of the women I see in the mall on a winter day. Not very flattering to Maine women but that is life up here in the winter. Oh yes, I would need to walk a bit more fem also.
Most exciting woman/style watching when I so deeply envied the women I was seeing, the Virginia Opera at Norfolk.
