Gige, I like the pic without the socks. It's more natural looking.However if you like the look with the socks go for it!

I always have color on my toes and fingers. My toes are always in red except for October when they get colored hot pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month, while my fingers are always in pink/clear gel with the little pinkies in a color or design particular to the time of the year. Right now my left pinkie is in silver sparkle and my right pinkie is in gold sparkle. 

Got compliments this morning on both my mani and pedi  both at church and my usual Sunday morning shopping. BTW closed toe red pumps at church, open toe double band, red sandals for my shopping trip. I also was wearing white capris with a red, white and blue top for the Labor Day holiday. I got compliments on my ensemble too!!!!

Mirose, you criticized me for matching my heels to my top color. That's just what you did on Sunday.

Happy Heeling, bluejay

Mirose, I don't wear my skorts to church. Shorts are not allowed for us ushers, so it's long pants but heels are a different case!

Happy Heeling, bluejay

I agree with you Gige. I always match my heels to the color of the top I'm wearing and then my skorts, slacks or leggings are just a compliment to them.

For that price, what's the quality like? The description warns of strong chemical odors upon unwrapping the package. That's always a good sign.

Mirose. The quality is great, just read the reviews and there is no chemical odor at all. I love those skorts!

You guys all know that I like to wear skorts with my heels. I just bought a faux black leather skort on Amazon. I really like it very much. It fits me to the T. It felt great first time wearing it with my white women's tunic top and a pair of white double band sandals. I felt totally confident wearing this ensemble. I think that I may get other colors of the skort, like white and hot pink. I'll put a link to the skort I bought on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3PP7P3X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1&psc=1

Yesterday, I went to my nail salon for a new mani. I got my clear/pink gel on my hands. On my right pinkie I got bright gold glitter and my left pinkie got a bright silver glitter. My regular nail tech was on vacation, so I had to settle for just color and not a design on my pinkies. Incidentally I wore a black skort with a silver sequined women's top with my new Kelly & Katie (DSW) double band, slide sandals in silver glitter with with 4" small block heels and a 1" platform. Got a nice compliment from the nail tech, " I love your shoes, they go perfect with your silver sequinned top and they show off your red pedi too!". Got another compliment from another woman getting her mani.

My friends and I call it Home Despot. However, I can't say that I've had any bad experiences at Home Despot. I'd rather go to my locally owned lumber yard or hardware store, if I can. They don't mind my heels, either.

Mirose, I go to both Home Depot and Lowe's wearing heels and skorts. Never had a problem at either store, for my appearance.

The stories I seem to remember predate the skorts. And they involved Steve. How is Steve these days? Haven't heard from him in an age! Here is what I wore to church today. Ankle breakers, is what my friend called them.

Mirose, I have not heard from Steve in months. I know that his wife died about 2 years ago and that he sold his hosiery business several years ago.

As far as him wearing skorts, I don't remember him wearing one when we met up over the years, but I did wear skorts many times when we got together.

Today was a good day for me as I found t-shirt dresses on sale in Walmart. They were reduced from $9.98 to $7.00. I bought several in colors. One black, burgundy, khaki, royal blue, white and orange. I wish they had more colors as I love wearing t-shirt dresses. They go just above my knee and are very comfy to wear this time of year. They also go great with heels too!

Thank you everyone for the support! I will keep doing my thing. 

If you have stories, HinH & Bluejay, please post. Would be curious how you dealt with more "difficult" situations.

 

I have no bad stories to tell about my wearing heels with my skorts. I get compliments from mostly women when i wear heels with short skorts. BTW, on the 4th of July i wore a flag decorated skort , white women's top and my double banded red sandals. Got compliments.

Today for church, I wore white dress pants, a red white and blue patriotic polo shirt with my Aerosoles red patent pumps with 3-1/2 " stacked heels. After church I wore my red double banded sandals with 3-1/2" stacked heels to show off my red pedi. got a couple compliments both in the supermarket and Walmart out shopping this morning. And of course I carried a red cross body bag, too!

Went to get a mani/ pedi the other day for the 4th of July holiday. I got my usual clear/pink gel on my fingers with an American Flag on my right pinkie and a firecracker on my left. What I was wearing to the salon brought out some attention as I passed a neighboring boutique on my way out. I was wearing an American Flag skort, white women's top and my red sandals with double bands and 3-1/2" stacked heels. The owner of the boutique and a customer were standing in the doorway, when I walked by. Both of them nodded approval on what I was wearing. The customer said I looked fab. Which I replied, " thanks for the compliment". I know the owner of the boutique as  I have made purchases from her shop before. I remember one in particular was a pair of leggings that was on a manequin in the window, that I liked. I bought them that day and I came back to show her how they looked on me, another time, so you can see that I am feminizing the male wardrobe!

I like wearing skorts with my heels especially in the summer time.I like the short versions of the skorts that show off my legs and I've had compliments over the years from mostly women but an occasional one, from a guy. I don't like maxi or midi skirts. Just my opinion.

Jim102, I like you, like to wear black boots. I have many pairs of knee boots and booties. Some leather and some patent leather. Some big block heels and some narrower heels. No stilettos. I only wear them in the winter, spring and fall. Otherwise, I'm wearing pumps or sandals, this time of year of course, with heels.

Mirose, I also wore a pair of red pumps for Pentecost Sunday  church. Mine were not stilettos but were a 3" small block heel. With my red suit coat and white pants I got several compliments on my ensemble, last Sunday.

Peeptoe, I like all styles of heels and I have them all.

I’m in an 11 in heels.  Wish it was a comfortable 10 as so many shoes only go to a 10.   Prob better for me.  Less money spent ! 

I too am a size 11 in heels but I have some knee boots that are size 12 because the brand in a size 11 is just too tight on my feet, however I have a couple pairs of size 10 heels that fit me perfectly. Figure that out!

I completely agree about the prevalence of sloppy/slobbish dress being totally unappealing.   Ripped jeans are pointless.
In England up to c1970, any woman wearing an ankle chain/bracelet was regarded (usually correctly) as advertising herself as a prostitute.   But ankle chains have since become quite fashionable and generally acceptable here (on women of almost any age), although there is still something of the 'common tart' vibe about them in the view of some critics.   Personally, I like them, although I am not a great fan of jewellery in general.

Why should women only be allowed to wear anklets. I wear one often. My wife and I have matching anklets.

White always goes with colorful shoes. I would wear those pumps with white leggings full length or capri length if the weather is warm.

You are not alone in that! 🙂

I was once on a flight sitting in the first row where ahead of me a flight attendant sat, but in looking back at the cabin reversed-too so to speak. Its odd I know, but I like ankle bracelets and she was wearing one, but it was the first time I ever saw a woman wear them UNDER her stockings. That took me by surprise, but when I looked up, she was looking back at me like I was some sort of pervert. I am not, just at that time I had never seen anything like that. Since then I have seen others wear them that way, under their pantyhose or stockings, but still can't figure out why. My wife wears her on the outside.

As for me, I have been thinking about a new job myself. As a guy I think a lot of my identity is in doing what I do, and it does not help that it is kind of unique what I do. It always paid well, but over the years the pay has leveled off and other jobs are increasing. Part of that is working insane hours, like literally being on-call 24/7/365 days a year. My wife even says "it feels like we live here" whenever we have to drive to my job for something. Now I am beginning to wonder if "having a cool job" is actually worth it though. I could work a job for the same money, 5 miles from home, 4 days a week, its just a boring every day sort of job. I do have a job interview there next week, so we shall see how that goes, then make my decision.

As for high heels, maybe it is because it is early mud season here, but I have not seen anyone wearing high heels, even at church. It is one of the reasons I have not been on this site much myself.

 

I've never seen a woman wearing an anklet under her hosiery, always it's on the top. My wife and I having matching anklets which we always wear bare legged or on top of tights or hose.

Yesterday, I went to my nail salon for my St. Patrick's Day mani. I got my clear/pink gel on my hands. On my left pinkie, white base with a green shramrock and the right pinkie white base with a leprechaun on it. My nail teck did such a great job on both those designs free hand. Incidentally I wore a green ensemble to the salon, green sweatshirt dress with green tights, with my green patent knee boots. Got two compliments on my ensemble both from my nail teck and another woman customer in the salon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all our Irish heelers and to those who want to be Irish.

After all the ice and snow problems of the past few weeks, I finally got out yesterday wearing some heels and feminine clothing. I wore my orange sweatshirt dress with orange fishnet hose  and my orange patent colored knee boots, with an orange colored puffer jacket. I got a couple of compliments especially from a lady about 50, while entering a  Walmart store. She said that " Wow, I looked. very spectacular to her." Of course I thanked her for her compliment. It just goes to show you that guys can go out and about in a feminine mode!

Yesterday , I went to my nail salon to get my mani for Valentine's. I got my usual clear/pink gel on my hands. On my little pinkies I got small Valentine's hearts in red. My nail tech did a great job on my mani. Incidentally, I wore a very feminine ensemble to the nail salon and I was complimented by other women customers. I wore a white sweat shirt dress, with a hemline above my knees, with red fishnet panty hose and my red patent knee boots. I also wore a red puffer jacket as the temp outside was in the low 20's F. I felt very comfortable wearing that ensemble.
