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.

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!

I had a short and uneventful outing tonight.  I had some recent purchases that I was dying to take out for a spin, including a new jacket and purse.  Here is what I wore.

outfit
1) black and white striped shirt
2) grey Forever 21 cropped jacket
3) dark wash American Eagle jeggings
4) greyish brown wedge boots
5) black with silver accents Guess purse

Here is 2 pics.  The first is the outfit as a whole.  The second is the purse and jacket alone.  Comments and suggestions welcome.

Great story Miroseplant!  Those sandals are awesome!

But these jaunts of some members are important to those that want to venture out of the house in heels but lack their own confidence to do so. To others, like myself, wearing heels is normal. I go grocery shopping, the hardware store in heels. I've even carried two 2"X4"X8' on my shoulder through home depot in stilettos. Sometimes I will encounter something new or extraordinary but most of the time most people don't even notice.

Nice wedges. I have similar wedges, even wore the cognac yesterday and the tan last week...Maxx Out Wedges

true enough.  I remember being in the same boat early on.  And those wedges are very similar!

I love the outfit - the wedge heels go so well with those little shorts - especially with your smooth slender legs in-between

Loved the story too!

Thanks for all the compliments!

And that's all? My gosh, you passed up a great opportunity to get more acquainted with a woman who might become a good friend, a "shoe sister", or even a "sole mate." You could have continued the conversation and even planned to meet again to talk fashion. Ah, well, maybe you will see her again and can pick up the conversation once more.

I do like your outfit! Well done!

Steve

There was a few reasons I didn't pursue it further.  It looked like she was busy with some school work so I didn't want to bother her too much.  I had also been there awhile already and was ready to leave.  Plus, no one really knows about what I do.  And living in a smaller town where everyone seems to know everyone, I am always afraid that I will be seen by somebody I know or that word will get back to somebody I know.  I have had a few close shaves already on outings. So I definitely have to be careful when I go out.

Great looks indeed!

Great looks indeed!

Time for another post.  These days my outings are becoming very routine and uneventful.  Plus my outing venue tends not to change much at all.  I am down to a handful of places I frequent on my outings.  So generally I decide wether or not I will post my travels on an outing by outing basis.  Unless something postworthy happens on an outing I don't always post.  Such was the case tonight.  I wasn't going to post but my outing results dictated otherwise.

Ever since the calender turned to July we have been getting some "hot" weather.  The kind of weather you expect around here in summer.  Most days you can wear shorts no problem!  I am starting to acquire several pairs of wedges and or heeled sandals so I have started experiment with womens shorts as a result.  I have never been a fan of long shorts anyhow.  So womens shorts just seemed like a natural!

I put an outfit together rather quickly and headed out.  Laptop in tow, I went to my usual spot for some internet browsing.  Everything went as normal.  I was winding down my outing when It happened!  A university aged women was in the establishment.  She looked familiar.  I had probably seen her there before.  She was wearing a nice pair of black and cork wedges.  And she definitely wasn't ugly either!  I had every intention of saying something to her, I was just waiting for the right moment.  She was waiting for her order feet away from my table so I got a good eyeful.  Once she had ordered and sat at a table I decided it was go time!  I got up and walked past her table to check out a rack of items for sale.  On the way back I passed her table and said "I love your shoes!"  She said "Thank you!  I like your shoes as well, I was admiring them!"  I went back to my table and you couldn't wipe the smile of my face.  I guess she noticed them waitng for her order but didn't say anything.  That was a great way to end things, so I packed up soon after and headed home.  Enough rambling!  Now for the outfit and pics.

The outfit
1) black t-shirt
2) Boom Boom brand dark jean shorts
3) Bamboo brand tan gladiator style wedges
4) Tan color silver detailed handbag

Mr. X: I have contemplated having my ears pierced, but, I'm not quite ready to make that big a jump. At least not yet.

With all you have done and accomplished Jeff, I am suprised that you would consider this a big step lol

just got these at a steal of a price new!!!

Those look great!  Red shoes like these are on my wishlist as well!

Just because your nips are very clearly visible, and wondered if that was intentional or not

you could wear a very low padded bra, would prevent that as well as giving some extra shape.

I figured thats what you were thinking.  And no, it was not intentional.  Just the fit and color of the top I guess.  No bras for this guy.

 I have to say that the earrings really made my outfit pop and were a perfect accessory to complete my ensemble. Once upon a time, I said I wouldn't leave the house unless I had a handbag on my shoulder, today, I'm fast starting to think I won't feel dressed unless I have earrings on as I've quickly come to enjoy how they look on me. Thanks to Thighbootguy for broadening my horizons when it comes to accessories.

If you are going to be wearing earrings regularly Jeff, you should consider getting your ears pierced.  I have mine done and it opens up many doors accessory wise.  I have heard that clips ons are hard to find, and the selection is terrible.  Plus I have heard they are very uncomfortable, especialy after long wear.  I don't even feel mine and have forgotten many times that I am wearing them.

I've worn similar in the pass. But you need to get some sun on those legs and arms if you are going to show so much skin.

Thanks pal!

Great look!.  Daisy Duke shorts are at least  3" shorter.  Your legs look great but don't forget that the gals discovered that sheer hose make them look even better.

No hose for me thanks.

It's time for another entry in this thread.  The weather has been really hot here the last couple of days.  It is finally feeling like summer here.  and I had just the outfit for such an occasion.

The outing itself was short and uneventful so nothing to report on that front.  In terms of the outfit I felt that shorts were in order based on the hot weather.  I have worn shorts on past outings but they were always mens, or at least very unisex womens shorts.  Today was different.  I decided I wanted to try an outfit based around shorts that were 100% womens when you looked at them, at least in my mind anyhow.  And quite a bit shorter than most of the shorts I have worn previously.  Some might claasify them as "Daisy Dukes" but I think they are a tad longer.  Either way, they showed quite a bit of leg above the knee.  I have been told in the past that I have great legs, so I figured it was about time I showed them off!  So here is a breakdown of the finished product along with pics.  Comments and suggestions welcome.

The outfit
1) Bamboo Brand Tan Wedge Sandals
2) Bluenotes Brand Shorts
3) White T Shirt
4) Aldo Brand Tan Crossbody Bag

here is a video worthy of this thread.  It is from CBC news in Canada.  It is a short vignette on the band Motley Crue.  It talks about the band playing a gig back in 1982 eventhough they received a bomb threat.  The video cleary shows all band memebers wearing high heeled boots.

Sound like you ejoyed yourself a great deal Jeff, congrats!

However, I'm still not too sure about the shirt that is slightly longer than the jacket. I don't totally hate it, but I noticed it right away. I would be interested to hear other opinions about this. It's good to hear from you again, Mr. X.

Actually the jacket is not that short.  It rose up a little when I took the pic.

Here is my latest purchase.  I picked them up in a thrift store for only $15!  They looked like they had been used maybe once.  I cleaned them and now they are mint!

I am not usually a platform fan, but something about these I love.  The brand is Charlotte Russe.  They are Platform Mary Janes with a chain embellishment.  The platform is 1 and a half inches.  The heel itself is 6 inches.  They are suprisingly easy to walk in too!  But then again I like my heels high, and can walk well in them!

Time for another update.  In the last week or so the weather in my neck of the woods has been very nice!  Today we hit around 15 degrees celcius.  The weather has been warm enough that you could wear sandals or some form of open toed shoes outside, no problem at all.  And I had just such the shoes!  A recently purchased pair that I was dying to wear out!  And with the weather the way it was it presented the perfect opportunity to do just that.

The shoes were purchased at a local thrift store. The brand is Bamboo.  They are tan in color with a wedge heel that measures about 4 inches bottom to top. They are an open toe caged look that ties in the front and zips in the back.  Combined with my recently purchased tan bag and a few articles of clothing, I put together an outfit rather quickly that I was quite pleased with when I looked in the miiror before heading out.

The outing itself was short and uneventful so I won't bore you with details.  Lets get straight to the outfit and pics.

The Outfit
1) Bamboo brand tan wedge heels
2) American Eagle black jeggings
3) white t-shirt
4) Rickis brand fitted black jacket
5) tan leather handbag

The first pic is the outfit as a whole and the next 2 are the shoes themselves.  Enjoy!

Well said!  I agree with many of your sentiments.  My prep time as definitely increased over the years.  Like you, I started out with just the shoes.  But now I defenitely present more complete images when i go out.

Looking good Jeff!  Short skirts suit you.  Well done!
