My thoughts on the latet fashions, etc.

It's been a while since I really did much blogging. Life has been crazy
with my new job and getting sick, but I do hope to get back on track
again. It's been over 2 months since I started having my nails done with
the gel nails and to date there has only been one reaction, and that was
a positive one. With my new job comes the freedom to work from home, so
I should be getting many more opportunities to dress up for the day, I
can't wait!

Now that the weather is starting to get warmer it is definitely starting
to be short skirt time again. It's kind of funny, most cross dressers
feel that they have to wear a skirt and outrageously high heels
everywhere that they go. I find just the opposite to be true. I am very
happy (not to mention comfortable) in a pair of jeans, pantyhose, and a
moderate heel or boots on a daily basis. I have found that if you want
to get out in public and be accepted you need to dress like any other
woman would. I'm still having trouble getting used to the fashion trend
to wear maternity shirts as a fashion statement, or at least that is how
they look to me. You know, the extra-long tops that hang just below the
bust line... These tops are about as un-flattering as you can get and
they look pretty ridiculous with a pair of jeans on most people. I have
2 of these tops and have worn them out even. I think if they were a bit
shorted they might look better, but the ones that most women are wearing
these days are way too long. It's one thing if you are trying to hide a
little belly fat or something but if you are slim, they definitely are a
bad fashion choice, especially in some of the colors that are offered.
I'll stick with my camisoles, thank you...

Another trend that I can't wait to see come to an end is wearing
flip-flops as a fashion accessory.. I'm sorry, but they should be saved
for a day at the beach or the pool and definitely should NOT be worn out
shopping, etc. If you want to wear open sandals, there are lots of
styles that can be worn that are actually meant to be shoes. Most of my
shoes are open sandals, which I wear year round. I don't care how fancy
the flip-flops are, they are still flip-flops.
