Any clothing ideas for a mtf to ease into non-masc stuff? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I hope my enby peeps can help me out here.

I am very interested in exploring a more feminine expression, but my starting point is masc-af physically, so anything too feminine too quick is going to have a very hard contrast and I'm definitely more of an "I don't want to stick out much" kind of person.

Any ideas that may be more androgynous, but not attention grabbing that I can try out? I am not good at picking outfits anyway, so I need all the help I can get.

Like beard and full body hair, so obviously lower cut stuff could be very dysmophic atm.

Maybe something that just feelsmore feminine but may not look it so much. You know? Does this make sense?

I think sometimes the absolute hardest part is allowing yourself to do it.

People really don't care what you buy. If anything they do think it's for someone else.

I bought some recently because it was close to a shade I thought and on sale. The hardest part really was like convincing myself it's OK. Nobody said anything. It was all internal.

I don't know where you live, but I just got myself gifted my first or went to the convenient store for it. I don't know who you'd have to ask

You don’t have any of your own spending money? Maybe you could go after school on your own or something.
