Mr. X

I guess this is more for the people that present a more overall "female" appearance rather than just shoes.  But anyone is free to chim in.  I thought of this based on a recent outing I had where the situation came up.  And It has made the news lately as well!  It will probably be a hot button issue too.  But which restroom do you use when out and about?  Just shoes hidden under pants I would say the mens room would probably be fine.  But if your presenting a full on female appearance from head to toe I would use the ladies room, no?  Regardless of weather or not you pass as a women, or if you even want to pass.  I think there would be less hassle and it would be safer if you used the ladies room if it is ok to do so.  Thoughts?

Time for another outing report.  The weather today was sunny and hot!  I knew I was going to wear some shorts for this one.  I figured some kind of wedges would pair nicely with what I was wearing.  I have also been experimenting with some stuff outside of the clothes and shoes.  Rings, earrings, makeup, purses and the like.  When I look in the mirror now there are days where I definitely see more of a female appearance rather than just a "man in heels"!  Today was one of those days!  I wouldn't say I was 100% female looking.  But my look is very androgenous I suppose.  There are people that will definitely do double takes with the way I have been presenting lately.

Before I get to tonights outing I should tell you about an interaction I had the other day.  I was wearing almost the exact same outfit as tonight.  I was at the grocery store.  And as I was leaving one of the older checkout ladies came up to me.  She said and I quote.  Ma'am Where did you get your shoes, we just adore them!  I told her and she thanked me as I left.  I was not fazed at all!  Just my longer hair alone has got me a Ma'ammed a time or two in the past.  I guess I'll take comments any way I can get em!

Now back to tonight!  I headed to my usual spot for an outing, laptop in tow.  My outing went off without a hitch as usual.  I defintely had a new wrinkle tonight though.  I had to use "the facilities".

Back in the early days when I was just about the shoes.  I would wear only shoes and they would be hidden.  The rest of me was all man!  There was no mistaking!  And I would just use the Mens Room.  But now I am presenting much more androgenous with outfits.  To the point where I am getting double takes and The occassional Ma'am.  So I figured I would probably get less hassle and feel safer the way I was dressed if I used the Ladies Room.  It was near closing time and the restrooms there are never very busy anyhow.  Plus I am well known with the staff.  But just to be safe I politely asked my favorite staff member.  I told her I needed to go to the bathroom.  I told her I would feel more comfortable and safe if I used the Ladies Room.  She was totally cool.  She told me I should use whichever bathroom I felt comfortable using.  I figured that would be her answer but I wanted to find out for sure! I didn't wan't any trouble!  I thanked her and went on my way.  I did my business and left.  On the way out I thanked her again and told everyone to have a good night and headed home.  Now for the outfit and pics.  Still not ready to show above the neck.  But trust me when I say my appearance was definitely more on the female side tonight with everything I had going on above the chin.

The outfit
1) Bamboo brand tan wedges
2) Boom Boom brand jean shorts
3) black t shirt
4) tan purse

That article may have brought light to the situation but not necessarily the best light.

I'm with you buddy!

I second that notion.  I just love heels!  But I also love the added height being shorter than most.

They are new to me Rhys.  And they look great!

I play Instruments.  Can't recall ever playing in heels though.

Nope, not me.  It's just a pic I found on the internet that seem to fit me at the time.  I will probably change it to something of me when I find something I like.

Well done! Site looks great!

Well done, Mr. X! That outfit was absolutely smashing! I'm glad I inspired you to wear pumps after my latest outing, your shoes are great. Two thumbs up to you!

Thanks alot!

Here is a stock image of my latest purchase.  The brand is Steve Madden and the model is "Feelya".  The heel measures about 4 1/4".

I have less than 5 pairs of mens shoes and close to 100 pairs of womens

I like em both but I'm leaning to the sandals

WOW!! Where do you store all those shoes?

In cardboard boxes under my bed.  I suppose I could ask you the same question.  From what I have read it souns like you have alot of heels as well, no?

After purchasing some more shoes lately I realized it has been a while since I counted my Inventory of heels.  So I did just that the other day.  Here are the results.

High Heels              59
Booties                      4
Wedges                     4
Flats                           2
Ankle Boots              5
Knee High Boots    10

Total Shoe Count   84

Wow!  Quite a collection Jkrezner!

I dont' know If what I wear is considered overdressed but I definitely don a complete outfit when I go out.

Interesting read

Looking fab, @Mr. X.

I love those boots, with the jeans - would love to see better pics of those, if you don't mind (that's what we're here for, after all )

Where did you go on your outing? 

If you look back in my thread there are other pics of the boots.  I have worn them on other outings that I have documented here.  And in terms of the outing, I just went to a my usual spot to surf the internet on my laptop.

I'm generally not fond of horizontal stripes, but you pull that look off very well. My compliments.

Mr. X

Steve is right, horizontal stripes can be a disaster, but you have pulled it off fine with your nice long slender build....Loving the jacket, jeggings and boots also!

Thanks for the compliments guys!
