So uh, hi, call me Nathalie for now
Let me just preface this by saying that I'm not yet 100% sure that this is who I am. But I wanted to try out another name, to see how it feels. Maybe I will realize I'm transfem one day, or maybe that I'm NB or fluid.
What I do know however, is that I want to express myself in more feminine ways, but I wouldn't want to waste my entire wardrobe, if it's possible to make something femme out of it.
I thought that you gals would maybe have some tips concerning that, or maybe some good resources you could point me to.
For example, I own a bajillion generic mens' tshirts, what could I do with those? Tuck them in a skirt? Tie them up to be cropped? Idk
I guess I'm just generally someone who has great fun in making the best out of what they already have.
Also, shoes. Holy cow, shoes. I'm a EU 48, which translates to a UK 13, a US mens' 14 and a US womens' 15. Not much choice, is there?
So many new thoughts zooming through my head right now, but this wall of text has to be enough for now, otherwise I wouldn't be done typing until next week.
Who knows, maybe you'll hear more from me over the next months of introspection.
Ahhh, I remember seeing your post here now. I've set read posts to hide, that's why I forgot about it.
I need to check it out :)
Shoes are definitely the biggest annoyance, maybe going the ambiguous mens' shoes route is my best bet to complete an actual outfit top to bottom one day
I feel you on the shoes. I haven't really even looked, could be due to the fact that my big wide ass feet have limited selection anyway, it's less about what do you like and more, what can I wear?
Yeah, choice is not part of the dictionary whenever I need new shoes
It sucks 😩
Although, that tall Sally website did have a filter for up to size 15 so 🤷♀️
Im definitely gonna check it out for some clothes at least.
Idk, if I check EU sizes, it tops out at 46.
But then it also says that a UK 13 is equivalent to a 46, while the charts I find when searxing tell me UK 13 is an EU 48, the size I'd need
I'm confused
Are you EU, or us? I saw another reference to EU sizins, but then height in feet. If you're in the US, there is a US site. If you're in the UK, I don't really understand why they wouldn't have bigger.
EU, it's just my head that defaults height on the internet to imperial units for... whatever reason
"whatever reason" it tends to skew American for whatever reason, but also, the UK tends to have some unholy abomination of metic & imperial 🤣
I genuinely don't know why my head does that. I'm 1.85m tall, there😅
That has always been the magic number for me growing up, and I reached it bang on
You're a tall girl then, Nathalie! That's a interesting spelling, I'm not sure I've seen it before. I'm not sure I had a magic number unless you count the basically "6 feet rule" it's unspoken and unnamed (officially) but over 6'is treated a little different than under. I'm just barely under, I was getting closer and closer and closer... And then stopped.
A rather french spelling, but still a name that works in many languages, which is something important to me
I love tall girls so much I want to be one, huh
Oooooo I love that! Yeah 😅 I also love girls so much I wanted to be one!
