I'm still too "girly" to wear a tie or men's dress shoes.

I have to wear a tie this weekend. Yes, on a weekend.

And it's only because of Sparkle that I agreed to it.

I just want that on the record.

i am a sad sad sight. a white t shirt is like heaven for me. and a black pair of mesh shorts. that's all i need.

a friend told me once that i needed someone to dress me. i said i've always known that! lol

story: my niece, 8, told the lady in the school office that her aunt was coming to pick her up. niece said, she'll be wearing a white t shirt and she has curly hair LOLOL. she knows me well huh lol.

you all have good tastes in clothing!

I think we make the mistake here and in society of focusing on clothing as "men's clothes" or "women's clothes." Butches and/or transguys wearing "men's clothes" and femmes wearing "women's clothes." Truth is we can wear whatever we want and still identify as we want and those identities will still be legitimate to ourselves and supportive community. We should be more queer than that, damnit!

Whoever wears the clothes owns them, imo.

If you want to wear ties or dress shoes from the "men's department" you shouldn't worry about whether you're "girly" or if the clothes are "manly" or something is whatever. If you like it and want to wear it you should wear it at least to try and if you're a butch woman wearing it, then maybe it's not men's clothes but butch woman clothes...or just Steph clothes

I love my ripped up hollister jeans! Sometimes AE.

A good white tee with a beater underneath it (notice I didn't put the first part of that word in there, so don't judge me) I really dig plaid! So I wear a lot of plaid shorts. Hoodies, airwalks, converse and adidas. On another note if im just chillin around the house its a beater, and lounge pants/ball shorts depending on my mood. My favorite outfit to wear is.. a pair of super holy hollister pants, my black converse, a white tee and a black and white plaid button up over that.. my studded belt with 2 pistols on it, and yes. I sag quite nicely.

Spritz some smell good on and thats it!

It's fall folks. I thought I'd give this a nudge for those who wear/appreciate menswear.

A couple of sites I've recently added to my favorites are

Put this on
&
Valet mag

Time to go through the closets and seasonal wear, it doesn't take much to freshen things up. A new tie or pocket square can change a look a lot. Maybe add a vintage sweater or treat yourself to some new boots.

What are you doing with your look these days?
