Helen,
I can't remember the book on Transgender that deals with this, but it's normal. So, don't worry.
As CD's or TG's evolve, they go through a speeded-up process of maturation similar to what a girl-growing-up-into-a-woman goes through.
We go through phases of fetishes with makeup, clothes, shoes, and behaviors. And we toy with all kind of styles with these until we find out what "fits." Eventually, we mature and act, look, dresss like "women our age" generally do. But, you have to go through the growing up processes first.
That's a really simple and bastardized summary of the point of the book, but my own experience and what I've seen here and in other CD/TV/TG/TS forums, all seem to validate this in my mind to the extent that I believe it.
If you are just starting out, welcome to the "transition", hon.
It takes time...
Good luck and don't worry! Have fun!!
Hugs!!!
