How can I give my trans grandson a gift certificate to your store. How can I see prices and availability?

Hi there!

It makes me happy to hear that you are supportive of your trans grandson! I am personally so grateful for my own grandmother’s support, so I can imagine what it might mean to him.

In regards to this website, I don’t actually sell any products. Rather than a store, I share pictures and images of outfits I enjoy! However, if you are looking for a trans-related clothing store, I’d recommend http://point5cc.com/. I know the owners of the store, and they’re lovely people. They also help run services for transgender people, so the purchase would be giving back to a good cause as well!

Hope that helps!

FTM guy here, i want to wear sunblush converse high tops. everyone says it's a bad idea. any style advice on it? thanks

Go for it! Sunblush is not my personal taste as I’m much more of an earthtones kinda guy, but color and gender are not related and you should never let that stop you from wearing something you want. One way to rock them would be as a pop of color to a neutral-outfit.

Hey I was wondering if you had any particular thought on linen button downs vs. oxford? In your basic wardrobe article you list a couple of oxfords as a must have, why chose them over linen? Thank you so much and I'm very excited to have just discovered your blog!

Hi there! My apologies for the late response--this blog has been largely defunct for the past three years. I personally prefer oxfords as they tend to last longer, are much more rigid (which helps give a streamlined appearance and hides curves), and can be worn throughout the year. Linen shirts are great for the spring and summer, but the gauzy material would not work well in the colder climates. And personally, I don’t particularly like the natural wrinkling effect that linen has, though many people love it.

Tl;dr: You can wear an oxford in the summer and winter, and it doesn’t get wrinkly. Mainly personal preference!

Hey yeah, stop deleting captions and credits from the original posts...

I guess one flaw of tumblr is that you can’t really tell when a blog has been inactive for over three years. Hopefully that’ll change!

I agree that proper diligence for intellectual property attribution is certainly important, but you’re mistaken–I do not delete captions or credits from original posts. Rather, I leave the captions and credits where they exist, with the sole exception of searching for original credits for already re-posted content on tumblr (for example, if someone else screenshots an instagram, posts it to tumblr, and I reblog it, etc.). Though this IS indeed a problem, as a full-time student I am unable to dedicate the time to do this kind of investigative work.

When the blog was active I did my best to link and give credit to all of my sources. If there is any post in particular that you know the credits to that are missing, feel free to let me know and I will do my best to change it.
