Mr. X

Interesting outfit there Jeff!  I gotta say at quick glance of your pics I though you were wearing a tuxedo LOL  Maybe you have something there Jeff.  The "female" tuxedo!

Nice to see you out in shoes TBG!  If you wanted to balance the black you could have maybe done a colored bag as well.

Congratulations on a great find!  The new boots would look great with the outfit you were wearing.

Thanks!  I was thinking the exact same thing.  In fact I even wore them right out of the house after buying them.  My next outfit will probably be exactly that.  Except I will probably change up the bag.  Not sure how the tan bag will work on its own.

I like the outfit, but I'm not a big fan of the boots you wore with it. They seem a bit too big in the calf. The other boots would be a much better choice IMO.

It's funny you mentioned about the calf room.  There is definitely some extra room in the shaft of those boots

Todays outing was inspired by an online ad.  I had been trolling the local online classifieds when I saw an ad for a pair of boots.  They were listed at $25.  Well within my budget!  After echanging a few texts and emails I decided to go check them out.  I was told they were only worn once!  Now I was really interested!  This was the first time I was going to possibly purchase shoe or boots this way.  Since I was going to check out some boots I figured I would make an outing out of it.  You never know how people will react to a man showing up to purchase and try on the boots you have for sale LOL.  So I figured if I showed up in boots it might help.  Not that I expected there to be a problem anyhow.  I put an outfit together and I was off.

I got there and the whole process took about 5 minutes.  The lady answered the door and we exchanged some small talk for a few minutes.  Everything went very smooth.  And nothing out of the ordinary happened regardless of how I was dressed.  I tried on the boots for fit.  They fit well!  I paid the $25 and I was off.  I contiued my outing with a bit of window shopping before heading home.  Even a short outing can be enjoyable, which is how I felt today.  Now here is a break down of my outfit and the boots.

My outfit

1) Aldo tan color boots with 3 1/2" chuncky heel

2) black leggings

3) black and white horizontal striped shirt

4) grey military style jacket

5) tan cross body bag

The boots I purchased are greyish brown suede looking slouchy style boots.  They would be tyclassified as thigh high I guess.  They hit right above the knee though.  The brand is fahrenheiht.  From doing research they are an affordable man made materials company.  Most of their products run around $40 to $60.  The heel is 5 inches tall and there is a 1 inch platform attached to the bottom.  Now for some pics.

The first one is my outfit.  And the next 2 are the boots I purchaed themselves and me wearing them.  Enjoy!  Comments and suggestions always welcome.

Great read from a fellow heeler

Unfortunately, I have not encountered any of the stuff that you described.  Or if there has been any negativity I have not seen or heard it.  Don't let a few "yokels" ruin you.  Just keep pushin!

Looking good Jeff!  I have been wanting to get some red pumps myself but I haven't found any yet.

It's funny you mention your boots fitting big.  I have found the exact opposite.  I usually take anywhere from a 9 to a 10 in shoes.  But in boots it must be a 10.  Anything less is too small!

Nice looking outfit!  You wear it well!

Nice to see and hear from someone else out and about doing their thing.  Way to go!

I am not a huge denim jacket fan personally, but you wear it well!  Good job!

Nice to read your story.  Very nice casual outfit there.  Well done!

Nice boots miro!  Those Aldo boots are hot!  I would love a pair myself.  Do you know the model by chance?

Nice outing TBG.  We have been getting some warmer weather too.  But nothing like you describe.

Very nice looks in your recent pics Sleek.  I too try to keep my anonimity as much as possible.  So I totally understand.

Sounds very positive Steve!

That turquoise polo really stands out, but in a good way.  Well done Jeff!

Somebody deserves an award for best dressed.

Wow an Award!  Thanks!

I can't argue with that. Personally I prefer the look with the bag, it just seems more complete.

I prefer it with the bag too.  I was just trying to show the outfit on its own as well.

Bravo, Mr. X! BRAVO! That was a fantastic outfit you wore! Everything worked very well and you looked sharp.

thanks for the kind words.  Means alot!

Finally got out again.  It's not that I haven't been out lately I just haven't had anything post worthy.  After running a few needed errands the rest of the outing was spent window shopping and general Mr. X time.  The outing went off without a hitch.  Nothing interesting to report from the outing.  I wish there was but there wasn't.  Now on to the outfit

I put together an outfit today using some old pieces I own, as well as some new pieces I purchased recently.  Once I put the outfit on I really liked it!  It is probably one of my favorite outfits I have worn, ever!  It is probably my most favorite outfit dating back to day 1!  Here is a breakdown of it.

The Outfit
1) Aldo tan boots with 3 1/2" chunky heel
2) Black leggings
3) black and white long length horizontal striped shirt
4) black cropped motorcycle style jacket
5) tan crossbody bag

Here is a couple of pics.  Enjoy!  Comments and Suggestions always welcome.

The first and third pairs are my favourites.

I agree!  The 4th pair are nice too!

Definitely looks staged to me.  I am all for shining the spotlight on us, but not when it hurts our cause.  And I don't see any good coming out of this.  On another note I thought the guys looked really good!

You look very casual and cool as cucumber in that outfit.  Well done!

Here is an interesting site I stumbled upon.  It has several albums and pics of ordinary men in skirts.  Like it says on the site.  After seeing these you will see just how "uneventful" a guy in a skirt really is.

That is one bold outfit Saudade!

I just bought my first pair.  I love how they look and feel.  Now I just have to figure out some outfits for them.
