Its very hard to tell from just those 2 pics. You are far away from the camera, the quality and lighting isn't great, your face is angled, and your hair is covering up a lot of what could be seen... to me something about your face seems off, I am not sure if its the foundation not being the right skin tone match, but overall it just seems "plastic" to me and off from the rest of your body. Also that outfit would be fine at a club or party but I wouldn't wear it out grocery/clothes shopping or for basic errands.
I have to agree with what some said in this thread. The answer is probably no. I am not saying that to be mean but its very hard for a man to pass as a woman without help(by help I mean horomones, surgery, padding, etc.). We have too much to compensate for. Yes you can use the tools at your disposal like makeup and padding and such to increase your passability but you will never be able to achieve that 100% since there are just some things we can't do anything about. If your overall goal is to pass you are going to have a bad time as that is what you will constantly measure yourself against and you will always have it in the back of your mind. You will never meet the passing standards you put on yourself.
This was the mistake I made when I started, I wanted to pass. And I'd post pics like you would online and ask if I passed and I got a bunch of "yes" answers, some may have been serious but I am guessing most just said yes to be nice. Anyway I took their word at face value and thought I passed, a couple of months went by and I'd go out and public with no problems so I thought I was passing. Then one day I got clocked and called out big time by a group of teenagers and I was crushed. It really hurt my confidence, because I thought that all this time I had been passing in public when in reality it was just people not caring and/or being nice. Unfortunately I got the wrong idea after this happened and thought it was because I wasn't applying my makeup well enough or using higher quality makeup and more flattering clothes with colors that suited my skin tone. So I just ended up buying more expensive makeup and brushes and practiced more makeup application thinking I could pass if I just was really good at it. Yes I got better but I feel like the better I got and the better, more flattering clothes I wore, the more I would notice my flaws. Like when I was 50% passable, I didn't care so much about the 50% part that didn't pass. When I was 90% passable, that 10% really wore me down mentally.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you can pass if you just do this or that. Because in the end, no matter what you do, you probably won't pass. Just do the best you can, control what you can control and not worry what is out of your control.
The day I stopped worrying about passing and just began to focus on being the prettiest woman I could be, is the day where it all became a lot more enjoyable. The stress went away and I was able to not worry anymore.
