  1. Just a reminder, Christmas time is a perfect time to find that perfect "gift" for that heel lover in your life (you?). And it's the season to find sales (music to my ears). Just be a wise shopper. I have a ankle boot coming next week. If it fits, I'll post a picture. Otherwise, it goes back asap. Speak about sales. I just purchase another pair of Jessica Simpson's Lexie Boots, knee highs for under $40 (usd) from DSW. I have a pair already and wear them all the time. This will be my back up pair; besides how can you say NO when they are under $40?

    Mine are from Express and have a zipper and button closure, but no front pockets. Got to keep those flat front look with pocket seams. I have had mine for 4 years, but have only worn them a few times. They are similar to these but with no front pockets https://www.express.com/clothing/women/super-high-waisted-faux-leather-'90s-slim-pant/pro/07472330/color/Pitch Black/e/regular/

    I had several people (mostly women) tell me I look fabulous. I just said WTF and went bold with my professional peers. And it paid off. They are not real leather trousers, they are faux leather. Many are coated leggings or jeans, but they give the impression of leather. Maybe @bluejay can add more about them.
  5. It all depends on where you are, location or event. I saw so many women in high heels this week. How many took them off when they got back to the car, I don't know, but with knee high stiletos, I don't think they would rermove them when they got to their car..

    I just got back from a professional conference with 250+ representative from around the state. This conference was held in a LARGE Hotel in a rich area in southern California. This fact will be important later in this ‘article’. Of course, I wore heels every day. To go with the other stories, I just read on this forum, today I also wore my leather pants and bodysuit to debate in. (BTW the leather pants were a hit and there is plan for a group leather pants day at the next big meeting.) About 30 women wore block heels over 3 inches all the time. Last night at the reception, many more wore heels, including 10 stilettoes. BUT that’s not what this story is about. It about seeing HUNDREDS, yes, HUNDREDS, of heels. On night this Hotel also had reception for something, what it was for I don’t know, but judging by the number of Bentleys and Roll Royces their attendees arrived in, I think it was a reception for SIGNFICANT (5 figure or more) donors to some charity. They were dressed up to the nines. Very few women had flats, and only a few had kitten stilettos. Most wore 4+ inch heels, 80% or more stilettos. So, I saw HUNDREDS of high heels during in a short period of time. And now for a laugh. I had to wait for the rest of my contingent to come down so we could go to dinner. I was sitting there by the elevators (their event was on the second floor) with other representatives waiting for the rest of their groups. One of the women I was sitting with remarked “ýou can almost hear that woman say ‘OW’ ‘OW’ ‘OW’ ” … as she walked by.

    I was just on the phone with a friend for 30 minutes discussing stilettos.Then she sent me the following link. Have a good laugh. https://dwpinsider.com/blog/heels-cinderella-will-also-be-jealous-of-worlds-10-most-expensive-heels-to-consider-for-your-wedding-day/
  8. I had to look up Primus. May I also suggest leggings, pants or even a skirt? Late fall to early spring are my bodysuit time; that and knee high boots.
  9. You could use Mlroseplant's Heels Explosed - Viewer advised.

    I had an encounter with a woman in combat boots this week. I've known her for 15 -20 years and she is also married a collegue who was also a fellow grad student with me back in the early 80's. (I must be old!) Last year on a raining day she asked me 'if I got the memo not to wear suede in the rain?' - I was wearing faux suede knee highs at the time, so no problem. Anyway, we both are on a governing body and at our bi-montly meeting last week. We sat next to each other, I looked down and saw she had very large shoes one, combat boots. I said "those shoes are huge", and we compared our shoes side to side, her's were 4 cm longer. But she wears a size 8 1/2 while I wear a size 10; that 4 inch heel sure makes a difference.
  11. @Puffer there are not many celebrities functions where @mlroseplant resides. I see several heels, but I shop (shoe shop) in a high end mall.
  12. Of course a heel!!!! Live life elevated. Block or stilettoe depends on where you are going.
  13. Black knee high boots.
  14. What's a tie? Something from history books? I think I wore a tie maybe 3 times during the last 30 years.

    Let me first warn @mlroseplant that the following pictures may upset your stomach. I am going to retire these old slides (home only use). Breaking in the replacement pair now. I was in the new slides yesterday in the post office parking lot when this woman drove up and said something about liking my heels. She then drove over and parked her car so that her window was next to my window. Her: Those shoes must hurt, ME: I only buy shoes that don't hurt. 4-inch heels helps with hip pain. Then there are my knee-high stiletos I love wearing. You know why? Her: NO, why? ME: To mess with people's minds. After she left to go in the post office, I could see the other woman in the car smiling (laughing) and I asked her "Do you think I messed with her mind?" "YES"
  16. Got these Vince Camuto Ithernda clogs yesterday in the discount racks at DSW. Today I visited my local boutique and the manager told me that Vince Camuto and Jessica Simpson are made by the same group. Interesting fact.
  17. I was down in Australia most of the time. I also work at an university and see a few women in 3+ inch heels. I have been told that I make them want to up their game, especially when I wear my stilettoes.
  18. I thought of this topic this weekend. I wore heels almost for over 45 hours straight. The only time they came off was during airport security screening. One guy behind me at one location was going to rase me about the booties, but I just took my booties out of bin, sllide them on and zipped them up. All he do was say, "boy those are easy to put on."
  19. Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Ill-fitting become extrict. Some die off (worn out), then fail to exist in the wild (no longer made). Some don't hold up and vanish (in the bin). But the most important thing now Is to purchase classics. Invest (because it is truly and investment) in high quality, well fitting shoes, and take care of them
  20. When I have had jury duty, I get thrown out right away because of my occupation and how that might work against statements and arguments made by either side. However, I am now excused for life.
  21. I saw many under 40 women in 3+ inch heels, one in at least 5 inches in the last 10 days.
  22. Oh if was just 16 hours. Just spent over 40 hours straight on planes and in airports. Can you say cancellations and delays. VERY LONG delays. I imagine some of our 'English" English speaker might call them trainers. Or even call @mlroseplant a sparky. You should have told him they didn't pay for aerating. PS...I'm back.
