i am lazy i do not 'doll up' really. only for special occasions i do full face make up. i started to do my eyes more often though (without eyeshadow). its quick and effective.
clothes are a important for me. over the last year i dreaded wearing pants. its super hard for me to feel fem in them. it feels a lot like the closet. instad of worrying about tops that counter that feeling, i just wear leggins with skirts or shorts more.
accessoirs are my game. even before i came out to myself, i used them to communicate a certain fruitiness. i feel naked without grandious earrings, rings or nailpolish or anything that says "behold, i overcame the masculinity that i did not choose!". i will add more piercings soon. =)
it really is about visibility for me. i guess i'd be fine with a hoodie and pants if i looked like a woman in it. rn i'd be (best case) a weirdly pretty guy, wearing a hoodie and pants. i hate not to be seen as what i am more than i hate untangeling accessoirs. thats what motivates me. ;)
