Wtf you've never worn a skirt before???

Also what the fuck is that description it is breaking my brain trying to figure out what it looks like.

Ankle length skirts are lovely though, nice that you enjoy them. Underrated tbh.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I have literally never worn a skirt before, I do not own any skirts or dresses. First time!

It's funny, I should combine it with my green army jacket, it's rad. Very light flowy material.

They are, but now I have to lift the fucker to go up stairs? And it really has no pockets, holy fuck the only pockets I have are my flannel's chest pockets.

:waow-based:

Would probably work well. You got approval from transmega fashion weirdo #4

Yeahhh... Purses exist for a reason, I still need to get one myself instead of carrying an old bag everywhere I go

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

emilie-smug yeh

Ty but also wtf why are you #4?

I have several purses, I ain't gonna wear a purse around the house!! Even my skinny jeans have enough pocket to carry a multitool! Death to america!

You do need a purse tbh, they are fun ✨

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm #4 because idk it was funnier that way. Also I feel like I only recently became fashion nerdy so others who post less have seniority over me and thereby smaller numbers.

What I sometimes do is wearing women's shorts underneath a skirt with an open side, that way I can use the pockets of it for my multitool and keys... But then I get annoyed at it ruining my fit when they're in so I throw them into my bag anyways.

I just haven't found one I like enough yet tbh.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Understandable, makes sense tbh. Who are the senior fashion nerds here? Rad.

Oh yeah that's kinda handy, I could do that or get a fanny pack actually. This is kinda fun soviet-hmm

Fair, purses are an extremely personal matter, gotta pick the one you love.

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tbh I may have forgotten :basil-anxious-smile:

[–] khizuo@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

transmega fashion weirdo #4? You're #2 (#1 is obviously me of course)

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

:aubrey-happy: I guess if fashion weirdo #1 says it then it must be true!

[–] khizuo@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Now that I'm thinking of it, we've got to get Thallo in here too. Trio of fashion weirdos who long to outfitpost...

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm acknowledged kel-bliss

But we gotta get this ordering straight. It's all wrong.

Khizuo is fashion weirdo #1. @Seryph@lemmygrad.ml is fashion weirdo A. And I'm fashion weirdo α

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If we're not being numbered clearly we should use the magical girl method of all having different names relating to our preferred styles. So I get to be Fashion Weirdo Elegant Sweet or some shit like that.

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Love it!

I call Fashion Weirdo Alt Chic!

[–] khizuo@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I can be Fashion Weirdo Punky Goth

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago

sicko yes

The transmega will rise further through the power of our outfitposting

I agree that’s insane. Maybe I just have good parents that let me play dress up, but you’ve been transitioning for years, right? How? Anyway, some skirts are pretty great. Skorts may have pockets. A long sleeve shirt can supply your pockets. I have a few dresses with pockets. Some of my shorts don’t have pockets or I don’t trust them biking anyway, so I sometimes wear a fanny pack. I get why you [seem to be] such a good butch if you’ve barely stuck your toes into “fem” stuff.

Almost ten. Ever consider that someone might not want to or wouldn't feel comfortable?

I guess most times it wouldn't matter, if I'm out I've got my purse and if I'm working on something at home I'm wearing sweats. I was advised to get a fanny pack actually.

why you [seem to be] such a good butch

Did I just get diagnosed butch? brow also is it really "barely stuck your toes into fem stuff" if I don't wear skirts? Are skirts required to be fem?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ever consider that someone might not want to or wouldn’t feel comfortable?

I mean, I'm not much of a fan of skirts and uncomfortable trying on clothes from the women's section, and I've still at least tried a skirt in a store like a year before touching HRT, if for no other reason than the meme. So kinda surprising someone who is a lot more confidence with that kind of thing didn't at least try one on at some point earlier.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

One of my eariest photos post-starting-hrt is me holding up a gothy skirt in a changing room and eyeing it suspiciously. I did not trust it basically. I don't do memes comfy-cool except sometimes lel

I was just confident dressing in jeans I guess, so between that and being incapable of tucking, I just became trousers gang. I did wear a dress to prom but that's all, I do a kind of futch thing.

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Ack, am I unintentionally being offensive again? I just say the quickest way to say things sometimes and it’s not always post-gender-pilled.

Ever consider that someone might not want to or wouldn't feel comfortable?

Yeah, not everyone likes skirts and I can imagine someone less lucky than me not having the confidence to try something at a thrift shop or hand-me-down. I just think it’s “a pity” that you haven’t had the chance until now to see if you like it.

Did I just get diagnosed butch?

No, you’re gay right? And your tank top/jacket/pants makes me think “banger butch fit.”

Are skirts required to be fem?

No, dresses and skirts are just traditional feminine clothes. You can be “feminine” in other ways, it just, again, surprises me you haven’t had the opportunity to try it.

Sorry if I’m somehow still offensive.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well you can find solace in that this isn't even the most appalling gaffe I've seen on this subject, lol.

that you haven’t had the chance until now

I've lived on my own since 2019 and been out to my parents for over a decade, just never seen a skirt I really liked and no reason to search for one. So no pity really :)

Uh yeah and I guess that would maybe be butch, maybe but not if you have curly hair down to your ass and a slight, effeminate form y'know?

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

There’s a lot of skirts I don’t like anyway, but luckily I like the stereotypical trans flowy ones and adjacent. If that’s not your thing, cool.

Yeah, I meant your clothing style was butch, I didn’t mean to apply it to your whole being.

[–] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Ashs' clothing isn't very butch can confirm ^^
