I really want to throw out a bunch of my old boy clothes but I'm not nearly comfortable enough with my body yet, and not comfortable enough to go shopping for girlie things. It's leaving me feeling stuck in between versions of myself and unable to move forward.

It doesn't help that my birthday is this week and I am feeling like I am just way too old and flabby for fashion to even make a difference.

You got this Amelia! And happy birthday darling! My birthday was last week so I think that makes us pisces sisters ❤️

I'm still working on my wardrobe as well. I've found leaning into a more androgenous look with colors that work for me skin tone has helped me feel feminine without needing to worry too much about full on women's fashion at the moment. Maybe that could help?

Also, cardigans are amazing! Can femme up basically any outfit :)
