mellopetitone asked: I've started trying to change my look from jeans and t-shirts from high school to something a bit more "I've graduated college. I swear I'm a grown up or something." I've been searching tumblr for fashion blogs and you guys are perfect for me. The styles are great, there's advice for shops and brands, what pieces are involved are clearly stated, and there's useful, simple advice. I knew I had to follow when I saw an article about fitting a dress shirt over your hips.

Thanks so much for the <3!

“Hi Sonia!

I just wanted to say that Qwear is firmly ensconced on the list of fashion/style/mens/womenswear blogs that I scan most days each week and I think it’s an awesome tumblr with a lovely ethos. 

Whilst I personally am not particularly prone to apply the ever-widening vocabulary of gender/sexual nouns and adjectival phrases in the queer canon to myself, I suppose I’d count as a feminine lesbian. As such, i’m not sure it’s my place to chime in on the points raised in the two emails that you posted responses to today. But for what it is worth, I think Qwear goes above and beyond the call of duty in avoiding oppressively gendered language and content, and it is unfair to criticise a small, non-profit style blog for supposedly failing to represent specific groups; especially when the blog in question is an ongoing, inclusive-spirited community project which clearly relies heavily on reader contributions. 

In short, if there is a deficit in Qwear’s representation of MAAB-trans people, it’s not because Qwear ignores the existence of MAAB-trans people, but because (as with all community projects) you only get out what you put in!

^ Thank you thank you for this email, C.

lifeisahighway99 asked: Thank you so much. I bought my first pair of men's pants the other day, they make me feel so much more like myself. This blog gives me so much confidence. Thanks for your awesome advice. You all are the best:)

Wow, I’m so happy for you!! Thanks for writing, and cheers to dressing like yourself!

Anonymous asked: I just wanted to let you know how snazzy you look in that shirt with the back bow tie and wool overcoat. That shirt color just suits you do well. (I think it's a tiny check, but in the photo it reads like purplish red color. Whatever... it is stunning on you.) If I saw you I would smile every day thinking about how much though you put into your ensemble.

This is so sweet!! The photo is of Blake; you can follow her here: queerplusfashion.tumblr.com

westerlywinds asked: Not a question, just taking the opportunity to thank you profusely for this great service you do for us who are trying for a little bit of style but need a bit of help/inspiration from time-to-time. Your tips for shorties are invaluable!

Thanks so much!!! So glad we can help. I’ll make sure Courtney sees this too :) - Sonia

lannistern asked: Because of this blog I decided to take more of an appreciation towards clothes, especially after finding so many females who happily explored the mens sections of stores. And today I finally bought my first button up and it feels great. So thank you for giving me so many outfit ideas!

Thanks so much! Button-ups are the best. Enjoy, friend. 

failedslacker asked: And you are getting yet one more thank you for the top-button swag post. It has not only helped me, but the lady I am seeing absolutely loves it. She gets quite sad when I have nothing to adjust at the end of the evening. So thank you from both of us.

Awwwww yeah! <3

stickmansaga asked: Just wanted to say that ever since reading your posts on top-button swag, I have been taking that advice to heart, and absolutely love it. That one small detail can completely change the look of an outfit, and I think people really don't expect it. It makes me feel very chic (which is kind of a rare thing). So, thank you!

Yesssss! Thank you. And, I know right?? I’ve been digging it too.
