Yes, walking with fishnets at 2AM is a bad idea, for multiple reasons.
But the one reason in particular that stopped me WAS THE COLD WIND 😭.

Not only does my hair get messed up instantly, but also…I’m barely wearing clothes. The fishermen are starving and I’m freezing to death, lol.



I need your honest opinions on this outfit…
In my opinion, it isn’t too flattering, particularly the top. But anyway, it consists of this:

  • The fishnets, my bf bought for me quite a while ago. I do like fishnets, however they make me look…like I’m meeting up with a paying client (in my very vulgar opinion)
  • The skirt is one I got at the mall, at a store called Cropp. There was only one left, and it’s a size S, so I was sure it wouldn’t fit.
    But somehow, through the power of sheer transfem witchcraft, it sits comfortably on my waist and is stopped from falling by my hips. Neat!
  • The top is one I got from Vinted (of course 😆). It was surprisingly cheap and I liked the style. The material is alright, the size is…interesting, and it even has a little chain that makes it look like I’m wearing a necklace!
    The downside is, I can’t wear a bra underneath, because it just looks really bad, so my boobs and nipples just stick straight out. I don’t mind that too much tbh.
    Also, I think the size is wrong…sometimes it hides my belly, sometimes it shows my belly. And also…is this meant to be worn with a skirt? It doesn’t really look like it…
  • The choker is also Vinted, not much to say there. I love chokers!
  • Aaaand, lastly I have some makeup on, which isn’t clothing, but it probably belongs in this list too 😆. I’m not good at makeup, at all, so it’s really simple: primer, foundation, concealer, finishing powder (essential!!!), a little bit of blush, mascara and a subtle but volumizing lipstick.
    I don’t think I did too badly, but there is so much room for improvement, oh my god…

I’m really disappointed I didn’t get to go out. I’ll try again tomorrow, it’s no big deal, it’s just…I spent lots of time getting ready and I was really looking forward to it. Oh well, tomorrow is another day 🙂.

P.S: Also, how do I keep posting elevator posts on injection day?? It’s not on purpose. You probably can’t tell, but there’s a band-aid on my right thigh 😂.

    This is great advice, thanks Brooke! ❤️

    • I do prefer full face honestly. I can cover much more of the imperfections that way. Besides, this time it only took me about 20 minutes. It’s not the end of the world for me 😆
    • My ritual of getting powder absolutely everywhere 😭. I don’t think I’d have as much fun with spray 😂. I do get that you prefer spray tho.
    • Tinted balms? Really? I didn’t even know that was a thing…
      My lips are always really dry under my lipstick…this could help a lot!
    • I didn’t mention eye shadow…because I suck at eye shadow 😅. The first time I used it, it was a black one and I overdid it. I looked like I had a crippling cocaine addiction, in addition to a brutal caffeine addiction (kinda true) while also never sleeping…ever.
      I’ve tried it multiple times since (I even got a nice pallette from a friend of mine (cis woman), for my birthday. I never really got the hang of it…but I’d love to learn. When done right, I think it looks phenomenal.
      Also…I didn’t know I was supposed to use anything but my finger…that’s what I’ve been doing. It might work for someone who knows what they’re doing, but I think I’ll try a brush…
    • I also wanted to mention eyeliner…the other thing I completely suck at (I just suck at eyes fr 😭). My bf bought me a nice felt tip one and…I just can’t do it. I’ve never really learned how to draw and this feels similar. I just look like a caricature every time. So I just leave my eyes alone…

    Thank you so much Brooke 😭. I’ll try to practice with eye shadow some more and I definitely need to get a tinted lip balm, omg.

    Thanks so much 💜
