I once found myself staring at a very unusual necklace this Brazilian woman was wearing - I don’t remember what it was but it was very exotic in some way - and I realised as I studied it that my gaze could be interpreted in a very different way. I was quite embarrassed by the realisation and made myself scarce.

It is very difficult on this forum to actually highjack somebody's thread, because nobody is really fussed about it, including me. To address the subject, I'm never sure exactly what is going to draw any particular person's attention. Short shorts with very high heels tends to do it, but not always. Depends on the circumstances. This winter, I have been complimented on my coat, my hat, and my tie, but never my knee high boots (worn on the outside, of course). I would think that some of my noisier shoes would draw attention, I mean, how could they not? I have a couple of pairs that are bordering on obnoxious indoors on a hard surface.

It is possible that he noticed, but had the discipline to keep his eyes on my face. There are, in fact, some guys who have that discipline. I'm one of them, but just barely. I can remember, years ago, I used to carpool with this guy, and one day my ex-wife happened to be home and outside one day when we had just returned from work. For whatever reason, she was wearing a very low cut top on that particular day (and high heels, as well!). I figured it would be rude if I didn't at least introduce them, so I said, "Come on, Phil, we better say hi to my wife." The conversation was not long, but after Phil left, my ex-wife commented, in a complimentary way, that he maintained eye contact the entire time and did not look at her bosom. I talked to Phil about it the next day, and he admitted it was very difficult not to look. I find myself in the same situation with shoes. Although my life in that respect is getting easier and easier all the time. I have to look at my own feet.

I don't want to hijack @mlroseplant threat. What do people notice? Several weeks ago, I wore my 9 West suede knee high - yellowish with a camel colored cords, light brown turtleneck and a leopard sherpa. Only thing people remember was the leopard sherpa. Today I wore the same knee highs and the same style cords BUT in dark blue, a light purple turtleneck and a hoodie. All anyone noticed was my heels. At least 15 compliments, include several men.
