Self Image

As I am taking more steps to becoming a woman, my self image is becoming skewed.  I do not like seeing my male face & body in the mirror, but when I try on clothes all I see is my male body in women's clothes.  I need to find a way to break out of this.  I need to find a way to fix my self image.  Maybe this is just part of my journey?  Like the awkward teenage stage?  Or maybe it is because I have yet to develop a style?  But it seems to be a vicious cycle: I can't develop a style because my self image is skewed and I can't fix my self image until I find clothes to wear, but I'm afraid to try on clothes due to my self image right now.  I need to break this cycle some how.  One thought is to go to one of my best friends houses and ask her to let me just try on all sorts of styles.  To see how different clothes fit and look on me.  I have to make sure I put makeup on though so I don't have a male face looking back at me.  Maybe I can also have her or my wife take photos so I can then have a good reference.  Hmmmm... maybe that will work.  Anything is worth a try. ;)
