    Probably why my biggest enjoyment these days is shopping and trying things on rather than actually buying the heels

    I have over 50 heels that I wear, so I don't need more, but I'm always on the look out for a great heel. So I "shop" 3-4 times a month and try on as many heels as I can.  Some I try on just to see how they feel or look, for fun.  Today I tried on 2 booties at Steve Madden - neither fit right, looked through Macy's, looked through Nordstrom, looked through Aldo's.  Cheaper than buying, and still fun.  And sometimes you make a great fine.

  2. Since I don't presently have a SO, this question is kinda moot.

    Since I wear heels almost all of the time, this question is kinda moot. If you have seen me, you have seen me in heels (and you know I love nail polish).  No secrets there. Especially knee high suede boots and shorts.

    But I would keep this site to myself. I want a place that I can go and discussion something without my SO knowing about it.

    Cali,

    I have some knee boots just like those in suede which I think is what you have there. Is that colour on your nails periwinkle? It does look nice. I have never tried that colour but should some day. I just changed my toe colour from bright green to dark red a few days ago. I have never worn shorts with boots but have worn dresses and skirts with boots which results in the same amount of exposed legs. I suppose the shorts with boots is just a look people are not used to.  I think you made the right call in starting this thread as it has been interesting so far. HappyinHeels

    Wearing a skirt or dress to work is a no go for me.  When its warm I'm typically in (short) shorts and open toe high heels.  This shorts with boots is a look I have done several times this year and I love it. I had a woman tell me I "owned that look" and my nails just topped it off.  But it takes a lot of nerve to walk out the door and go to work like this.

    Thanks for the compliment.  Because of my acrylic nails I need to get them done every two weeks, so I am always looking for a new design. In the past three months I had two versions of "powder chrome", "magnetic", many different types of ombres. If you look at the Serena Williams Chase ATM commercial you will see her nails as she pulls her ATM card out of the machine, I had those last month and then a purple version.

    The color above is an ombre of blue and purple.  My nail artist likes to use glitter in ombres, so this is a sky blue gel, two coats, small purple glitter chips painted with a dry brush. When she is happy with it, she paints a clear coat gel on top and sets it. When you put them up to the sky they blend in. 

    I have periwinkle in which is a slightly different color.

    What can I say, I'm a high maintenance kind of guy....and I love it!!!

    Also, re the pic of you in shorts and boots - well done. Do I see a sock sticking out the one boot? What do you tend to wear beneath the boots? Esp in summer? 

    I replaced most of my socks with knee highs a few years ago.  They fit me much better and I like the variety. So I match my socks to the rest of my wardrobe.  I found that men's small socks was to small to go passed my ankles and men's large had too much "foot", I would have an extra inch of sock and no place to put it. So I either go sock-less in my open toe heels and wear knee highs otherwise. In that photo I hadn't pushed the sock down enough into the boot and out of site, the little bugger popped out.

    Several compliments from men and women today. On the way home tonight I stopped and picked up two quarts of ice cream. I handed my money to the serve and he said "I like your nails." I responded with "they go with my heels" and lifted one leg to show him. "Oh wow...."

  5. I'm the opposite, I love the zippers in my shoe. I've come to the conclusion that I need a full zipper in my boots, my ankles aren't flexable (or shaped) to slip on a pair of pull on boots. Another boots with shorts day...

     

    BTW I love the silhouette of those boots.  They deserve to be taken to work...
