I haven't been in a store since February, but I had already found "my size"  and fit in several brands of jeans. So I load a cart in each brand with what I like and wait for a sale. And to see what other incentives I can get...free shipping, 20% extra off. You just have to hope they don't sell out before the price is at the right price point.

If I going to spend money a good heel why hide them. 

I  have some $200 to $300 heels, I want to show them off.

I think maybe it was just the style a few years back.

It might of been the style but I also was hiding my heels. I was too self-conscious. But after being in heels in public the years, I'm no longer self-conscious.  I'm more proud that as a senior citizen I can still wear high heels. Beside, for me it's pain relief. I need to wear my heels more. Pre-WFH, I use to average 10 or more hours a day in heels, now it's down to 3 or 4  and my body is unhappy.

Cali,

The skinny jeans are my wife's but it was the first post of something closer to a skinny jean than any I have posted before so it's a start. "Mom jeans" or not they were very comfortable. What about the colour coordination? Others seemed to like it. HinH

There are many types of skinny jeans. Look for the one with the higher stretch ability, sometimes sold as "Shaping" or "Slimming", they are also softer. But you don't want to look like a sausage either.

I need to figure how to combine photos so I can do side-by-side comparisons for color coordination. Those are mid raise ankle leggings black and white leopard (or cheetah) print pants on  sale for $20."Slim" fit. I couldn't resist. I thought the black polo and those faux back-tie heels might work together....what do you think?  I might try it next with white heels. Wish I had some black knee highs. Any suggestions?

The hard thing is the size of the front pockets and how you carry what you need. Some, like the first pair, high raise, have decent size front pockets, but my Levi's 311's front pockets are minimal. You really need to try before you get you first one's of a style. I found out the hard way that my legs are slightly too large for super skinny jeans I can get them on but getting them off is a real chore.  I know you HinH that you are bold enough to try things on in a store. Find you size and beware this is another rabbit hole.

Today's topic is JEANS.

A year ago I was still wearing pants that hide my heels. They had a 32-34 inseam with a little flare. I had maybe 2 women's pants, and 2 men's stretch Levi's.  In October while getting my skirt for my Halloween costume, I tried on a pair of short women's skinny shaping jeans. The fit was great....

Fast forward:  Today I basically only wear skinny, skinny & shaping, or super skinny. (As well as faux leather pants - another story...)

The inseam ranges from 26 inches to 30 inches. The 26 inch. 10-Short is great with knee high boots, they tuck right in and don't bind at the ankles.

They also range from Mid-Waist to Super High Waist.  They all fit better than my older jeans.

As soon as I learn how to put several photos together for side-by-side comparisons I will start an album with some jean comparisons and looks with different heels.

Below are is my new high waist shaping skinny jeans from Express ($20 + free shipping) with my FreeBird sandals.  And a slub top.  I like this combination, the jeans don't bunch at my ankles, you can see all of my heels

Above is what I wore out this morning.

Several people have said that the dentist IS the place to get compliments on heels. Maybe it's because you go there regularly (or at least you're supposed to), but they don't see you often enough so that it becomes boring.

The dentist lies you down so your shoes are many times more visible. After seeing sneaker after sneaker, all of a sudden they get a chance to see something very different.  And you know they will talk about the shoes for days.

I've always wondered why someone (mostly other women) would bother themselves with telling me that being feminine and wearing high heels is wrong etc.

Jealousy,. They can't wear/walk/whatever so nobody else should.

Just keep on be yourself and let the others eat cake.   Welcome. 

I get the same thing from my dentist, all the workers (receptionist. hygienist, assistant) all must come to see what I have on. Last time it was knee high JS stilettos.

You know you made their day.

Had CZU refugees living on my street until Sunday, They all were lucky to still have homes. These CZU, LNU, .., aren't "normal" fires, CZU was something like 20 lighting strikes that started fires that kind of joined. the LNU was something 17 strikes/fires, same up north.  The Dolan fire (below Big Sur) was arson. We are lucky to have had relatively clean air for the last 4-5 days.
