How My Wardrobe Changed

Transitioning brings a lot of changes. Some of them are scary, some of them are fun, some of them are expensive. As my public gender expression changed, my wife and I had to figure out as we went along what my wardrobe was going to look like. We spent time figuring that out, until we thought we had pretty well gotten a plan together. Then, it was time to make the change. 

Gone was every single garment of men's clothing. Like my body changing, this didn't happen overnight. For one thing, we aren't rich, and thus, changing out an entire wardrobe all at once simply wasn't in the cards. For another thing, we had no idea what sorts of clothing I liked, that suited me, and made me feel good. We had no experience with me wearing women's clothing. Additionally, we needed to be subtle about the change, because there were circumstances like still being in the Army Reserve, and working a civilian job for a company owner that is a bigot. So, we switched things out over time. I'll talk more about that in another post.

It was fun, switching my wardrobe over. Oh, I was nervous, for sure. But it honestly was fun too. But my goodness, was it expensive!
