Took the opportunity to wear the high heels on a bit of a different outing today running errands.  I’m waiting to get some tires mounted and the shop is full of older retired people as typical of the demographics of this area away from the city.  I initially went to hide in the corner but realized that would be defeating the purpose, so now I am sitting right next to the front entrance

Thanks for finding their new site. "Steven" is Steve Madden, and "Steven" is still on the Steve Madden website. They make expensive heels but the leather is great. Too bad they don't have anything over 3.5 inch...too short for me.

They look to be hand made in Mexico just like the nicer cowboy boots with Goodyear welts and pegged soles!  I’d be all over this except that all their designs have zippers, which I think interrupts the look of the buckles...

Freebirds no long exists. They stopped being on the Madden website a few months ago.

I found this:

https://www.freebirdstores.com/

Their brand is “Freebird by Steven”, did they used to have a relationship with Madden?

The Freebird Blaze looks like a really solid shoe - they appear to have a Goodyear welt?  Find a good cobbler who can reheel and resole them and you can wear them for a lifetime.

Yeah, I am sure envious.....You look great, head down the hotel bar for a drink, you will be the star of the show for sure buddy

Thanks!  The silhouette of the skirt contributes to the slender look, and it feels good to be able to wear something at my waist line.  I ignored what people say about aging and waist size and with just a little effort got back to where it was before I started college.  Skirts like this will help motivate me to maintain it that way, and I feel better and more energetic like this anyway.  

I might go out shopping later so I won't change into the skirt tonight, but I'm planning to give this a try for breakfast downstairs tomorrow morning.

How does Arizona get away with it?  I lived there over three years.  Part of the time we were the same as the rest of my family in New Mexico and the rest of the time we were the same as California.  Some of my "automatic" clocks refused to stay on standard time so I had to set them to Pacific Time that part of the year. 

Hawaii and most of Indiana opted out too. Must have happened back when there was more freedom. 

I would not wear this skirt into the office, but I might have enough confidence now to walk around the hotel like this tomorrow morning.  I wonder what people would think, or if some wouldn’t even notice?

I love all the buckles - I am a sucker for them!

 Did you know a county near the border of a time zone can choose which time zone to use? Local control delegated from the State and originally delegated from the US Constitution makes this possible.

Florida voted in July to stop observing daylight savings, yet they are still blocked from implementing it by the US Congress.  Seems the lawyers in Washington need remedial review on the Constitution.
