Being Me

We're into sweater weather here in Ontario and that means cozy slippers, fleece-lined leggings and a nice wood fire. My last post was about comfy too. I think I reached those years where over-sized sweaters and fuzzy slipper socks are my go-to choices in evening wear. All that aside, I was thinking about the choices I have been making in clothing purchases lately and a great deal of them have been leggings/jeggings, hoodies, t-shirts, and other casual choices. Even some of my recent shoe choices have been way more on the casual side, despite the fact that I clearly enjoy heels as well. These sneakers I recently purchased, by Blowfish, are a great example of fun and casual that's caught my eye recently. Pair these up with a nice jegging and over-sized sweater, and you'd fit in nicely in almost any mall or store setting. Dressing to the nines is fun, but I highly recommend a major stock of casual in closet as well.

It's often a truism in the trans community that when we dress, we dress UP . However, there's nothing wrong with the comfy casual either! Consider, it's highly likely you own a few sweatshirts and that you find them comfy. So, extend the length of those a bit and you have a dress with all the same comfort. I couple these, usually, with leggings. A basic black legging with a grey hoodie dress is a comfy casual for lounging and being feminine at the same time. While leggings are a bit tricky when it comes to hiding nature's sins, but when worn with a longer tunic of some sort they work wonderfully. Wear some, you'll understand why so many women do. 😘
