Mr. X

Nice update kneehighs. Your stories never get old. And your pics may be dull to you. But they are still fresh and relevant to others here, including myself.

you can NEVER go wrong with the basic black pump which is always in fashion!

I agree! I have yet to do an outing with my pumps on full display, but I can see doing that in the near future. I have some skinny jeans that I have been wearing but not with my pumps. But that combination is killer!

I have done some travelling here and there lately. But nothing too serious, until today. The weather was nice, and I had a day off. I had a few errands to run. But once those were out of the way it was all about Mr. X. I decided to hit up some of my favorite places here in town for a little window shopping. This included 2 shoe stores here in town. I did not buy anything, nor did I try anything on at either store. It was still enjoyable though. The day went off without a hitch and i really enjoyed myself. Now on to the outfit and pics.

Most of my travelling usually involves heeled boots of some kind. I think today may have been my first serious bit of travelling wearing pumps. My outfit was also a little outside my "zone". I had next to no article of "male" clothing on.

For today I choose a white dress shirt, black blazer, blue jeans, and these shoes, which are a recent addition to my collection. I mentioned them on here before.

And here is the final outcome in pic form. Enjoy! Comments and syggestions are always welcome.

Here is the latest addition to my shoe closet. These shoes have a satiny black finish and rounded toe. They have a 5 inch heel with a 1/2 inch or so hidden platform. They are not as clunky as the pictures make them out to be. The best part is I got them in a thrift store for $17. And despite the low price, they are in mint condition. They are originally from Suzy Shier. It is a store in Canada that sells mostly women's clothes with a few heels and accessories.

HI All,

I bought these today at Nordstrom Rack. It's the Jessica Simpson Francesca heel with 5 inch heel and 1 inch platform. First time at 5 inches. Feels fabulous, but need to be a bit more careful with my stride. Look so amazing with some off black pantyhose right now!

MHH

Those are nice! I am not much for platforms, except when they are hidden like here, and they don't stand out too much.

Gee I've never counted. Here's a partial inventory...

That is quite the collection! As far as mine go, I Have never counted either. It is getting up there though. If I had to venture a guess, I would say I am in the 20 plus bracket.

Here is a link to my latest purchase. The classic black pump. I bought these here in town at a severely reduced price. They are extremely comfortable to wear. And I measured the heel at 4 1/2", even though the website say 4 inches. I can't wait to give these an outing.

Sounds like you had a good time. And got some great feedback. Good for you.

But today I bought the pair that Ive been inlove with since I saw them last year November.http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/jj510/stormclaw1/Boots%20and%20heels/IMAG0277.jpg

Nice shoes! I am not a huge plat fan but I don't mind the odd hidden plat like those. And I love the color!

The only thing I might try adding to your outfit is a black belt perhaps.

I will take that under advisement for a future outing

It's been awhile since I have had anything worthy of adding to my thread. But here goes. I had a day off today and felt like "stepping out". I had a few quick errands to run. But other than that the day was reserved for Mr. X and some window shopping. The day went off without a hitch. And I really enjoyed myself. I tried on a few outfits before ultimately settling on this one. -black ankle boots -white denim/khakish pants -plain red t shirt -black jacket -smaller camera type bag/carry all(rarely leave home without it now) Here are 2 pics of the outfit. One with the bag, and one without. Comments and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

Thanks for the tip and pics Gary. Might have to check out the show now.

Welcome back HappyFeat :-)

Outfits 1-2-4-5 are looking great. (I really like 2 & 5) Well done !

But I'm not sure about the # 3 outfit...

Maybe the colors don't match or maybe the pink pants are too "girly" for your masculine look ?

( Please note that this is only my own opinion )

Nice gray boots !

I agree completely

I bought these yesterday. I'm a bit anxious about the arrival -we are having some troubles at the local costumes-. When they are here I'll post some pictures, hopefully next week.

13cm Heel

Those heels are gorgeous. And Casadei heels are not cheap either.

Thanks for your input Mr. X. You said they were too small and your normal size is 10.

Did you try them in size 10 or size 11 ?

A female friend wear size 8 and she also complain about their narrow shoes.

Aldo got many nice shoe styles which I would buy if they were made wider.

Fortunately their boots are OK. Good for me because I LOVE boots!

I tried them on in my normal 10, and it was a no go. Most of their shoes and boots are ok for me. It's usually only the patent stuff where I have a problem.

I love pink heels to

This is my new pink heels from Aldo

Those are nice. I am not usually a platform fan, but I don't mind those.

Aldo just introduced their new shoes collection in spring colors.

I don't wear or own any pink heels but these pink pumps are driving me crazy !

It is quite unfortunate closed toe shoes from Aldo are too narrow for me

If they would fit I'm sure I would buy a pair just for their look !

I think I will visit the store and try a pair. Maybe they are made wider than usual ?

I was in my local aldo the other day, and I tried on these exact shoes. Not in the pink however. I originally wanted the silver ones advertised on the site because they were on clearance at my store. They didn't have any though, and I had to try them on in a black patent. I am normally a 10, and these were way to small for me! Any patent shoes at aldo tend to run small for me.

Anyway, I bought these They're really comfortable and super easy to walk in.

For me the boots look great except for the peep toe. I have never been a fan of peep toe boots. But if they were closed toe I would buy them in a heartbeat.

Great read and outings bluejay. I have yet to interact with a women wearing heels the way you did. That is always one of my wishes when I go out. And I think others here will agree, and share my sentiments.

Mr. X: Looks like the Rangers have my Flyers number so far this season. Still, it was a good game.

.

That was a great game to watch as a fan. All the drama at the end helped as well. Offsetting penalties, and a penalty shot with mere minutes to go.

Well, it's 2-1 Flyers at present as I type these words of wit on my iPad. Like you said, just business. Heh!

Well it's 3-2 Final for the Rangers as I type these words of wit on my laptop. Like I said, just business...lol

Many beautiful pics of celebs in high heels on www.shoerazzi.com

I'll have to check it out in more detail but it looks like a good site. Thanks!

Nice outing and outfit again Jeff. I definitely gotta pull the boots out more myself. I haven't done much of it yet this winter. I too am watching the winter classic. I have New Yorks goalie in my Hockey pool. So unfortunately, I have to root against your hometown Flyers. Nothing personal, Just business...lol

I never wore Louboutins but I would really like to own a pair.

Do you really feel a difference when wearing them ?

I agree. And I am curious as well. I would kill for a pair of Pigalles.

What's their policy? I mean, could you place the order to be delivered to the store so you could try them on and get a refund if they don't fit?

You basically hit the nail on the head. Problem is, you have to give a name address phone number etc. And they call you when they come in. Being that I am still relatively "in the closet" so to speak, I am not comfortable giving out that info. I'd have some explaining to do if my mother answered that call...lol

I'm not positive, but I'm like 99% sure these are the boots in question. What does everyone think?

Sometimes it is the little things that can make someones day. Today I was that someone. I was getting some last minute Christmas shopping done. I was at the big local mall here. I decided to stop in at the Aldo store which I frequent regularly. It was quite busy. And they had extra staff on for the holidays I'm assuming. My favorite sales girl was working though. She is probably a manager or something. Or at least one of the senior staff members. I am usually not there to with the intent to buy. But if something catches my eye I won't say no. She spotted me through all the hustle and bustle and proceeded to say hello and tell me that there was a sale on boots. additional 30% off clearance boots. I already knew about it but I let her tell me anyhow. I proceeded to look around for a few minutes. Next thing I know there is a tap on my shoulder. It is her! She says, "let me show you a pair of boots I think you will like". She couldn't find them on the shelf so she went in the back. She came back with a pair of boots I took a liking to immediately . How did she know!....lol They were grey but she said they also came in black. I was very partial to the grey though. They were about calf height and they had a decent heel on them as well. I asked if they had a 10 and she went to check. To my disappointment they did not. Too bad because they really were nice. She mentioned that they could be ordered though. She knows I do not order because I can run anywhere from a 9 to a 10 in size. And I usually like to "try before I buy". Even though I walked out empty handed, I had a huge smile on my face. I always get great service there. But today I felt she went above and beyond the call of duty. She basically singled me out of the busy crowd and gave me the same if not better service than any other customer. It still kinda bugs me that I couldn't buy the boots though...lol I may have to really examine my no order policy...lol
