Just saw your pics, you look great ;)
Uhmm what about instead of leggings, try jeans then flip-flops? That way you don't have to worry about size and money issues

Yes, if we wouldn't have like 35-40C these days. Wearing snickers under the sun now isn't... "nice" now (plus I suffer heat pretty badly, unlike cold :D).

You don't know my parents... but the real issue is that they won't believe me it was a "bet". The already know about me and cosplays (more like crossplays, when I did Shizuma from Strawberry Panic). Once I told them expecting they would be reasonable (silly me), but it turned out that their minds are stuck 100 years in the past and have religion as the justification for everything. I didn't tell them anything more since then. Luckily I'll be out of here by mid year.

It's not easy to hide your way of being, personality, tastes in almost everything and stuff like that with the people you live with and see everyday ;D

i think if you told them in a serious manner they would probably be a bit more understanding after a the initial shock then you would expect or at least most parents would be

Those lace-end stockings I wear on the pic are just for that purpose alone - the pic... but I don't think I'd actually wear that outside. The tie is another thing... god I love ties ^^
And a riding crop is the thing that I have in my hands in the pic... its original purpose is to make horses go faster by beating their booty with it... nowadays it's not only used for spanking horses :P

I don't have like those (from ass to toe), next time I'll buy one :P. Although now that's summer I wear sandals so I don't know if that stocking will look good (girl sandals of my size don't exist unless I'll make them specially for me). For now those with the feet uncovered will do. But... maybe it's better for you to decide ^^. I'll try to get one next week and post pics.

hmm yeah, you mentioned before that it was pretty warm at your place atm, so I'd just suggest not wearing stockings at all... just go bareleg and enjoy the warm summer breeze :) I only wear stockings when it's too cold to go without (which is pretty often since I'm living in the northern part of the northern hemisphere :x ). I read that flip flops were mentioned as a possible alternative to those textile shoes I was posting and indeed, I just didn't think about them before but they, too, would work just fine.
about extensions... as far as I know they are a double-edged sword... since they're only being woven into your original hair close to your skalp, it's unavoidable that they'll just grow out after a while. Not to mention that it'll be a bitch to comb your hair. Plus if you want some that look halfway realistic, you'll have to get real-hair extensions which are quite pricey (about 800$ for a headful of anything longer than shoulder-length if I'm not mistaken). In my opinion they're just not worth ít... just grow your hair out naturally (yeah you'll have that certain length that just doesn't fit with anything but will still be a bitch to tend... but that'll be over as soon as your hair reaches shoulder length). And I've got to know... I've been through chopping my hair short and growing it out again 5 times so far ^^ But I've stopped with that since I reached adulthood :P
Wigs will come down to about the same price, but will spare you a lot of trouble tending your own hair (long wigs are especially pricey since you need double the length of hair for weaving than what will come out afterwards... so if you want a real-hair wig that is about shoulder-length, a woman with hair that grew longer than her ass will have had to sacrifice that mane). Plus there's always the sweat problem with a wig in summer, no matter if real-hair or synthetic.

Thanks!
Flip-flops... like these? (I don't know much about shoes in English xD)
They are a bit... out of place with the clothes I think, too "informal". Also they are not that comfortable for going long distances and such. I wear them at home, for buying the bread or the beach :P. The textile slippers seem better for me ^^

I tried one or two times more in a pretty subtle way... I had to cut it there or the situation would go out of control again :-\. When I'm ready to move out I'll face them at once, first kindly and in an educated manner then... yelling, bitching, and God only knows what could happen, expect it to get a "little" violent. But at that point I really won't care as I no longer will be living here. I'll need to get one of these or these ;D. No kidding, my father has a very bad temper and is way too violent (way TOO MUCH) when it comes to things like these. I'll need to have something just in case (I hope to never use it).

Bare leg? Then my panties would feel... scared out there, in the air :D. How do you do with no stockings and those mini skirts? Even with the legs closed if someone looks directly between them a little panties are exposed. Or you'll just have to live with it?

800... USD? :o
\me goes out, catches some fresh air, drinks a coke and goes back to the PC
USD... 800...?
OMG, talk about pricey. Well then, it's way out of my reach for now (800 USD is almost four times more in my local and devaluated currency). Maybe I can get one for less here, but it's still a lot xD. The thing is my hair is too retarded to grow :(. When you chopped your hair how long did it take to grow about shoulder length?
And in the meanwhile... do you (or anyone) have some recommendations for a new hair look for me? ;D It'll has to be with my current length (see the pics above). Something more girly-like n.n
i_am_otep:
Well that's exactly what a lot of people say, flip-flops are too informal and just meant for the beach
But I honestly don't think so anymore. i always wear them. Church, shopping in the mall, school, etc. Plus, I see lots of people wear them so I'm not alone on this one.
And you can find more stylish stuff than the one you posted. That's more of a rubber slippers lol.
