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.

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
