Normally, I will try to blend in and wear what cisgender women would wear in a similar situation. Tonight, I decided to go to game night in one of my new dresses. It's something I feel comfortable wearing in casual situations, as well as going out for a Thanksgiving dinner - Something I did with the Navy version of this dress.
There is something about a dress that shouts femininity. And I like that. However, our society is becoming much less formal, and women's wear is gradually evolving to become more like men's wear, with minor differences to accentuate the female form. As much as I am glad that women now have the choice whether to wear a dress or not, I am saddened by the subtle loss of femininity in what the average women wears now days.
I'm still not sure of what I'll be wearing when I go to Hawaii. I need to be comfortable at all points along the way from Newark, NJ to Honolulu, HI, traveling from winter to summer in less than 24 hours. Right now, I figure that I'll wear a dress with both a camisole and leggings underneath on the way to Hawaii, and strip off the extra clothing as soon as I land in Hawaii. On the return trip, I may simply reverse the process, save that I might not bother with the camisole. Layers, Layers, and more Layers....
One thing I know about Hawaii - I expect to be in a dress all the time I'm there, save for the time I'm in a swimsuit....
