I barely manage to make myself look human for a grocery store trip. I like the aesthetics of certain bracelets or rings I have but I don't really wear them. I like certain makeup looks but without a reason I don't put any on. I'd like to, but the effort to benefit ratio isn't there for me. Unless I'm meeting people I care about, I just do the bare minimum to look like a hygienic person.

Tell me your secrets.

I never used to, but recently I feel like things are coming together for me such that I actually feel cute getting dolled up. Partly it's practice getting getting dolled up and feeling comfy in my femme clothes, and partly it gives me gender euphoria looking in the mirror and seeing the cute girl inside finally coming out. Taking hormones has helped but I kinda underestimated how much mileage I would get out of well fitting feminine clothes. It's kind of crazy how much more feminine I look with just a tank top and a skirt or dress. A secondary benefit has been I finally got some cute pics of myself to put on dating apps, and I'm having more success now than I ever have before lol. I've found it's getting much easier to do now too. I have a few cute pieces of clothing I can mix and match to get some varied styles that I really like, and that's like most of the work. Once you have the clothes it's way easier to just throw together something cute. I still have no idea what I'm doing with makeup though lol. It's all a work in progress.
