Fashion and Fitting In

This is a good article about fashion (really fashion over 50 but works no matter what).  She says "interesting … we're all broadly made out of the same stuff, but what we look like on the outside is what identifies us to everyone else."

As a crossdresser, I want to "fit in" with other women when I am out, in whatever setting I am in.  Basically be invisible.  HOWEVER, there is that part of all of us that wants to show off and be recognized and noticed for who (what) we are. 

Many crossdressers I know just be who they want to be...and that's the way it should be.

What do I wear??!!??

There was a post on the crossdressers.com forum where one girl asked what she should wear.  She had a few skirts and blouses and was stuck like a writer staring at a blank page. 
Personally, from her list of items, I didn't see a problem.  But she did, and it was her clothes, so that is that.  There are lots of sites that help you "build a 10 piece wardrobe" or tell you what's in fashion. But Ultra is different. http://weareultra.com. In 2009 they started a blog about design and innovation.  But nothing was really changing.  So they decided to make a real difference. 

They are taking the concept of sustainability to a new level.  The video is pretty cool.  The 10 piece outfit is designed to give you something to wear EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.  How cool is that.  Especially for a part-time crossdresser such as myself, this is golden. 

From looking at the model on the site, they need to go up a couple (ok a lot) of sizes to get to me, but I really like the concept.  Now I only need to find some shoes.
