Dressing up really makes me feel special

[kristyk]

I can go to church and dress nice in mens cloths feel good about what I look like, I can go out to eat in male cloths in casual cloths looking pretty good but let me put on a nice sweater or one of my casual tops and then slide into a pair of womens jeans not even get all dressed up just be completely casual, and I feel just like I did when I was 7 giddy, happy, I love the way the cloths fits me. I love walking in them I just find life to be so much more fun as a woman. I love buying cloths for Kristy I hardly ever buy cloths for the male version.
Do others still get that same feeling as they did when they first started dressing up?
There is no doubt about it my personality gets perky I am like on cloud 9 my whole personallity just comes to life when I am in female mode.

I don't even like to buy men's clothing. My wife buys for me except for jeans. I wear ladies size 16 jeans all the time, even in guy mode. My wife is tall so she buys men's jeans. We're quite a pair. She complains about my jeans so I remind her that she wears men's. It seems like a double standard to me. I have several ladies catalogs that come to our house addressed to me. I have no interest in men's clothing or their catalogs.

To quote Yogi Berra (an American baseball icon for the uninitiated), "Ain't it amazin' ?"

Honey, I feel you! Always as you say, "feel like I am 7 again," when I relax and put on something for ME!

[kristyk]

I thought there were more than just myself that got such a thrill out of life once looking like a lady again

Thanks for the resposes and have a gerat week

I normally dress casual for work,and I even work at home, but sometimes it makes me depressed and then I know what to do. I go and put on a nice outfit, Skirt, blouse etc,do my hair, shave the legs and paint my nails. Depression GONE!!!! Mens department doesn't bother me anymore since I dress female almost all the time. I recently joined a class in Glass blowing and needed to look more butch than femme. No problem! I just found a nice colorful long sleeve femme Tee and put it under a half closed Flannel Shirt, earrings which matched the shirt, Some added bracelets and Viola! Felt great. It's all about freedom.

I have to live all weekend at work as a man, so I come home, on Monday morning, I strip off my male clothes, take a long bubble bath, and put on a nightgown for a nap. I then get up totally with my mind back as my real self, and get dressed in something nice to celebrate. I hope that doesnt sound too wierd, but thats the best way I can describe it.

[kristyk]

Tanyalynn no that doesn't sound weirs at all I completely understand and would do the same thing.

SEJD you are so open I wish I could be that way I will try and buy more colorful cloths and start being kind of in the middle for me that is a move forward

Ya'll are so sweet I appreciate all the comments

HAVE A GERAT WEEK

I feel so much more "natural" when I put my bra on, slide my pantyhose on and panties then anything else. I have worn my jeans(male) and my shirts(male) over my lingerie but I don't get the same feeling(s) as when I will wear female jeans, a female shirt or sweater over the same lingerie. Actually I'm very slowly discarding every piece of male clothing I have & replacing them w/female clothing(expensive) but I feel soooo much better. When I look in a mirror and see a female body lookin' back at me I do feel special and I LOVE THAT!!!!

:love: Mollyanne

[Gena_2]

Mollyanne I can totally relate to what you are saying. I wear as much women's clothing as I can, EVERY DAY and EVERY NIGHT. Life is an adventure, and I'm taking charge. You go, girl, and I'm with you! Best regards, Gena

Nope, dont get any kind of rush at all from dressing. I get dysphoria from Xdressing in drab though. My closet of male clothing is barely maintained. My real closet is always growing and changing but dressing whether casual in jeans and a tee or skirt and top or dress is just a natural.

I suspect that most TS's feel the same as I

[John]

I don't get that any more, but when I was first accepting the idear and coming out, it was a hell of a rush.

I think of it as, I'd been living a painfull lie for ten years (I wasn't ten, but I'd spent several years of my childhood dressing, acting, and swering I was going to be, a boy), so any releafe from that was going to be fantastic at first, like minor pain reliefe when your in excruciating pain. But now, two and a half years on, living life as a man compleatly now, it just a normal day.

I have WAY more girl clothes than men's clothes, I just haven't bought any men's stuff in such a Long Long time, and every time I've looked at them & don't know why I bother, I just go GAUD those are so freaking ugly I wanna puke, then I go to where the NICE clothes are, I don't think I have to tell you girls what department THAT is .. LoL

For the past year, I've taken to a more casual look, with designer jeans, dressy high heel boots or shoes, slinky tops (same as my avatar) or similar to, and of-course a bra since I need it to support the girls now for real & just some knee highs are fine with the jeans & boots or open toe heels, a few bits of jewelry, makeup just makes me feel Much more comfortable than wearing those drabby men's rags.

But I haven't dressed to the 9's in a while, cause I just haven't had any places to go that would require it, but no doubt do miss it. :daydreaming:

Interesting comments about style Karen. I am very much in the "Tim Gunn" sphere of classy but functional. Timeless styles just keep going. A good wardrobe doesnt have to be huge just well put together. Coordination instead of "matching" saves a lot of closet space (and coinage).

Still, I dont buy anything male. My SO does it. I am not sure if that is gentle prodding or to piss me off... lol. Maybe a bit of both.

[danacd96]

I love laying out my clothes that I'm going to wear. However I really enjoy the process of putting on my make-up! It really energizes me and puts me in that special place where I feel very feminine. Add a splash of perfume and I'm a happy gurl:)

Right now I feel weired dressed in Drab while at home, but feel ok when I am out and about in drab, but this may be due to the fact im not very confident at the moment.

my whole personallity just comes to life when I am in female mode.

And not just for fun. When I need to do really good work and concentrate fully, I just have to dress properly. A great energy is liberated... And, yes, I have absolutely no interest in men's clothes, which have become in any case dull and unimaginative.

I spend loads of money of clothes... but if I'm really, really honest... and I know no-one is going to read this... My favourite thing in all the world is my duvet... Mmmmmmmmmmm... Sooooooooooooo huggable :)

[Chibi~Cthulhu]

currently i only wear mens jeans 1 day a week.... laundry day. and do i ever hate laundry day with a passion!

as for a rush or anything when i get dressed? more a rush from getting the heck out of my drabs. anymore these days i wear a drab sweater / coat over womens jeans and t-shirts along with my earrings and a subtle touch of makeup. (billabong sweater, cause its baggy and hides the bra nicely)

trying to work my way into feeling comfortable dressed appropriately in public a little at a time, but unless my jeans are dirty i always wear womens jeans anymore. thankfully i am a professional student right now, most other people at the college are to busy with thier own studies to give me a hard time. and all my friends that i care to hang with already know, which is nice the girls give me advice on hair and makeup which has been a great help ^-^

When I dress I feel euphoric. I woundered years before I excepted who I was, when was the last time I felt the sence of euphoria. In the last 2 years after I had come to terms with myself, and that "Dawn" is a real part of me, every time I dress I now Know that feeling of utter Joy and feeling of total bliss that a 7 year old feels. I dance and twirl around like a (I like the word Giddy) Giddy little girl. I love the feeling and cannot wait till I get the oppertunity to dress. To all the other girls that feel the same, Happy Day and twirl once for me and once for yourself.

My journey is going slow!

There will be a day that I choose to start my journey I hope that day nothing will stop me, but right now the love of my life has is just that for the last 15 years I love my life just as it is right now.

I hope after I transition I never get to the point that dressing up and looking pretty means so little to me that the thrill is gone. I have wanted to be a girl since the first day I can actual rememeber anything. I can rememebr way back being with my Aunt she was shopping for Easter cloths for my cousin I wondering when was I going to get mine I rememeber asking my cousin why didn't I get to try some on she said we will when we get home. My cousins eyes sparkled walking out of the store dressing room in that pretty easter dress I wanted to wear that dress so bad

Beth and I were the same size at that time I spent a lot of time at my Aunts house waiting for my mother to get off work. Beth and I would play dressup for hours I was in heaven during those years I spent with my cousin. I can not put into words the feelings I felt I could not put into words.

I want to feel special because I am special just like all TS/TV/CDs should feel and the thrill I get from dressing up comes from my heart and soul not from knowing I have a closet full of womans cloths. I have that now love to go in my walk in closet and feed my hunger.

All journeys are different my journey is I never hated being a man I enjoy who I am, and I love life but I also love who I am married to and what she has given me.

I was never suppose to be a man that I know for sure my soul has always been female and I will always get a thrill out of wearing an old pair of nice fitting jeans a nice fitting top and pair of pumps or heels The thrill for me is that I feel I look pretty and when this happens I feel very thrilled and it shows I smile and show my feamle side a lot more than I do in drab maens cloths.
