Being girly what have we learned? What have we learned about dresses, heels, and hosiery?
Leggings, and tunics are our friend.
Sundresses are so much cooler than shorts on a hot day.
Love wearing nylons, sooner or later you will get a run in them.
Heels are not for everyday wear or housework.
Balletflats work better for housework, just know when it is time to get a new pair.
What all the fuss is about earrings.
Jeans never lie and are not your friend.
Sometimes a purse is so much better than a wallet.
Losing a few pounds is not only good for our health, but also great for getting into that dress we just purchased, and if we think about it our shoe size goes down a bit, and we all know the really cute heels come in smaller sizes.
What have you learned, don't be shy add to the list.
Be well my friends.
@gil I have learned that there are so many appearance related things that differentiate a woman from a man......hair style, clothing, nails, earrings, makeup, nails, etc. I love to lie in bed before I get up and plan my outfit for the day. The more of these differentiators that I can bring into play on a given day, the happier I am! Sure they aren't easy, but I have found that I also love the process of preparing my feminine self each day to venture out into the world.
Facial hair grows too quickly
That it is a lot more work to be femme than homme.
The right bra makes all the difference.
A smile is the best thing you can wear.
You walk like a ballerina not a baboon,
I cant have too many dresses ,purses and shoes.Its a lot of work to be a classy part time lady,but its fun.
It’s not easy being a woman it takes a lot of effort to look really good. Also it’s expensive buying makeup, clothes and shoes but totally worth it. I have way too many clothes, but it doesn’t stop me from shopping because that is what a woman does lol.
@shelly-lynn totally agree with you, now I understand my wife even more when she got to shopping and ask me for money, I know for sure the underwear is too much expensive for women than men.
And then she start to summarize :
Hair treatment
Body lotions
Creams
And so on.....
Dresses are way more comfortable than trousers.
No women's shoes I've tried are anywhere near as comfortable as male shoes... but infinitely better looking.
Using makeup well is both a skill and an art.
All of the above, and those I've missed, means that it's lots more work to dress and look like a woman BUT that's a small price to pay for the absolute joy of feeling like one!😊

Hi
Dresses, I love it!!!!, skirt and blouses, also I love it
Shoes, I am totally agree, comfort vs beauty!!!
Makeup is not for simple mortals, I'm still learning and also are not cheap at all!!.
And finally,we never will end to buy dresses , shoes, etc.because when you think it is over ,I don't need anymore, you see a nice one that shine in your eyes and you say, I want it!!!
If you see an outfit and fall in love with it, it will be the wrong size
Don’t discredit the smell of a good feminine body wash followed by lotion and ending with perfume.
I keep feeling more feminine as I age. Resistance is futile and I am being assimilated into the female collective. Even in drab I seem to think and act more feminine over time.
This is my experience...although, I blended roles while doing both in a intense manner. Now, I see I enjoy the en femme things so much, that I must devote so much more time, and everything to being this way. 🙂 My love of fashion per sa, is less about "now" fashion and aesthetic appreciation in a very wide sense. <3 ox kyra "even in drab..." Oui!
Probably the most important thing I have learned is that it is fun and pleasurable to dress en femme.
Two big things I have learned. Firstly I now totally get why my wife has so many pairs of shoes and I now wish I had that many pairs of women's shoes myself.
Second how much hard work it takes to be a woman and how expensive it is. I am lucky that naturally I am not any more hairy than a girl girl but still have to shave my legs and get my eyebrows done. Then a pedicure as I do like to wear open toe shoes and buffing my finger nails.
On the cost side putting clothes and shoes eyebrow waxing aside, you can go mad with makeup like the primer the other day a lady was trying to sell me at $90 for a small tube. The trouble with makeup I find is that you really get what you pay for so the cheap products are often no good at all. The there is the brushes, sponges and false lashes as well.
I'm not complaining about the effort or the cost as when I look in the mirror to double check how I look before I walk out the front door every cent I've spent and every little process I have done to look like the woman I see is just so worth it.
Takes longer to get ready,it is no 5 minute procedure to transform into my femme side
