Thank you sooo much!
I'm a little sad. My all-time favorite boutique has closed. I always felt like a queen there.

Nadi,
Sorry your boutique closed. Been super busy with life changes. Just wanted to say hello, and just hate to see your thread die.
Always,

Nadi,
Very cute outfit, you look very pretty. I’ve been thinking I might like a denim skirt.
Very neat back drop.

Thank you so much dear Ceylee!
Oh yes, I really like denim skirts too. You should try them out too.
Here's an old photo of me in a casual look with a denim skirt. As you can see, still with the old hairdo.

Nadi,
Very cute, that is the everyday look I’m trying to achieve. As I’ve found you can’t dress super nice all the time, as living in fem everyday is a real job and you don’t want to overdo it and stick out, unless it’s time to do so. You sold me on the denim shirt.
Again very cute and pretty, thanks for the pic, I’m intrigued with the background.
Always
Caylee

Caylee,
you are so sweet!
You're absolutely right that you shouldn't overdo it. Especially when you're fem every day, it's important to look as normal as possible.
A denim skirt is perfect for this. I rummaged through my collection and found this old photo from 2012. That was when I had only quite recently started to be out en-femme in public. As you can see shopping in the mall. I was still quite shy and insecure, but I already loved being out and about as a woman.

Nadi,
Very pretty picture for that time of your life. My wife and I compare the then and now pictures of you and look at some of mine. To see how I’m progressing, staying the same or going backwards. This truly helps me in my efforts to adjust to living in fem. We truly appreciate the support these pictures provide.
I also enjoy all of the different types of backgrounds your pictures provide. Speaking of that my wife took a funny photo with what we thought was a ironic backdrop when I was going to the mental health provider the other day, if you’d like to see, let me know.
I truly enjoy and appreciate the photos.
Always,
Caylee

Hi Nadi, you were pretty back then now even prettier.
That old adage a picture tells a thousand words rings so true, I always sense in your earlier pictures a feeling of dread / not totally at ease, whereas now every picture now exudes confidence and femininity.
You've achieved a very natural, pretty and feminine look, so fantastic and a great way of helping those on the same path and that comes from a male staying male

I am very pleased that you and your wife enjoy looking at my pictures. I also like to have a look at my old pictures and compare them with the current ones. I do believe that I have developed a little further.
Of course I would love to see your funny photo at the mental health provider!

Thank you so much for your kind words!
You're quite right that you can still see the fear and insecurity very well in the old photos. A few years of experience are incredibly helpful for self-confidence.
Today I'm showing you a more recent photo, also taken in a shopping center. I guess you can see the increased self-confidence.
The Barbie pink dress is debatable. I bought it on sale at my favorite boutique, which unfortunately has since closed. For shopping, the dress was ok in combination with a denim jacket and sneakers, what do you think?
