The Jaunts of JeffB!

Recommended Posts

Maxidress...  I suggest you emphasize a waist line a little higher than your natural waist line.  I'm looking forward to your next jaunt.

By the way, I just found a red dress I'm really liking.  It is essentially a polo shirt that comes down to my knees.  Wearing a dress is becoming more and more comfortable all the time.

Yeah I know I'm wearing flats.

Thanks for the kind words. I used to be ambivalent about booties, but I've really come around to liking them. As for the mystery items I bought at Sears yesterday, well, I'll go ahead and spill the beans: they were two maxidresses that were on sale for $19.99. I was curious about how I'd look in them, so I decided to take the plunge. I want to wear more dresses, and these look like they can work. Meanwhile, its clear Sears is in big trouble, there used to be three in the region, now there's only one, and I'm not sure how long that will be around.

Max dresses sound great - I Love them, so femme, and in some ways more sexy than short dresses. Look forward to seeing them on you!

Love it! I think the skirt really compliments the top and looks great! Maxi dresses are nice in summer, but can be annoying due to their length, some are past ankle-length so that can mean walking on your hem a little :nono: Midi dresses are my limit but I think I am aiming more for the excellent look you've presented above. I always wonder if I'm being "un-seen" rather than not being paid attention to, but it's better than stares or name calling as well. I like that denim pencil skirt you've got there, I had one in a lighter shade from Zara, but a former friend stole it (when I was in pictured earlier in your thread with the frayed hem skirt I wore). I bought myself another grey pencil skirt this week, but it's more of a formal affair. Looking forward to your next jaunt :cheeky:

I've recently read that Payless (your favourite shoe store) is also in trouble (excessive debt, I think) and is potentially to close 1,000 of its stores.   If that is so, it will surely be a big blow to you and many others here, unless the mail-order service proves a fully adequate substitute.

TBG: Thanks for the advice. Where did you get that dress? It looks good on you! By the by, nothing wrong with flats. I've fully embraced them.

jeremy1986: Thanks for the kind words. I hope I'll be able to live up to your expectations.

SkirtDude: Not to worry, since I stand 6-2, there's no fear of walking on my hem. Heck, it barely reaches my ankles!

Puffer: While it's sad that Payless stores are closing, I do most of my shopping online where the selection is greater. And therein lies the problem.

Just thought I'd let everyone know I swapped out my winter tops and heavy skirts yesterday for my spring and summer stuff. Can't wait to rock my tank tops and lighter, airy skirts!  :happy:

Sounds like a good plan, but with the weather doing what it has been doing of late are you going to be ready for the April blizzards? :penitent:

Well, the fall and winter stuff is only another closet away in case I need something warmer. Hopefully that won't be the case.

@JeffB,Although skirts and dresses aren't my thing, I do appreciate them on other people. I am not sure I agree with TBG's advice as a universal standard. While this dress looks quite good on him, his build is quite different from yours. I am not at all sure that you would get the same effect if you wore the same style dress.

miroseplant: Thanks for the advice. I'll certainly take it under consideration.

Jaunt #363, 4/8/2017: Spring continues to come and go in spurts, warm one day, chilly the next, and after a dreadful rainstorm on Thursday, it had been a tad nippy on Friday and Saturday as I headed out to the King of Prussia Mall in my denim jacket over a purple t-shirt, a darn denim button down skirt, black tights, the Blondo loafers and a black satchel bag. Wearing the Blondo shoes which I've had since the summer of 2008 was a spur of the moment decision, even after all these years they still fit well and looked nice with the skirt I wore, oh, and their two inch block heels sounded good and loud. It should also be noted that this outing to KOP was my third straight to the largest mall on the east coast in women's clothes, perhaps I've gotten comfortable doing jaunts there, and with each subsequent outing, it sure has become easier, that means a lot.

Having arrived shortly before eleven a.m., I entered the mall which wasn't quite so packed as I strolled through, as usual, no one paid me any attention, I know, surprising ain't it. Following my first stop at the comic book shop, I wandered down to the food court which was packed with diners, usually the line at Chick-fil-A is ridiculously long, but on this day, it wasn't as I bought a chicken salad sandwich and a small cup of lemonade, then retreated to a table to enjoy my lunch while people were all around me, no big deal. From there, I walked to a candy store where I treated myself to some mini gummi bears, now while I was in that store, I had a saleswoman compliment me on my shoes, so, someone DID notice my attire after all. Heh! Part of the fun of being at KOP is just wandering the length and breadth of the mall, and for someone like myself who enjoys walking (thus my mandate for wearing comfortable, low heeled shoes), that in itself is great fun, but I did do some shopping as I swung by the Apple Store to buy a new cover for my iPad Air.

I wound up spending nearly four hours at the mall which got thicker and thicker in terms of shoppers with each passing hour, and, as usual, it was a most enjoyable outing. Perhaps I'll wear skirts to KOP all the time, I mean, it's no big deal really since no one pays me any attention, so, why not? More to come....

Looking great again.  It seems that all that practice (all 363) is paying off in developing a great looking style.

I like the necklace, it competes the look.  Have you considered clip-on earrings?  At the last jewelry sale at my favorite thrift store I bought a bag of over 20 pair for $5.  I'm not suggesting some huge dangles (but they are fun), rather just something small with a little sparkle.

TBG: Earrings? Nahhhhh! That's never crossed my mind. At least not at the present time.

Mr. X: Thanks for the kind words. I did.

Jaunt #364, 4/9/2017: After a somewhat chilly Saturday, spring was in full force a day later with sunshine, blue skies and temps that flirted with 70, picture perfect conditions for an outing which I indulged in, garbed in a black crinkle blouse, a white and black print crepe skirt, the Payless "Tawny" wedge slides and a black handbag. While I could've gone casual, I wanted to dress up, I don't mind admitting I really feel good when I'm wearing a nice outfit, and the slides are a treat to wear as it's become quite natural to wear such shoes which I once hated for being impractical. And, once again, I take pride in saying I look better in women's clothes than I do in men's, skirts and heels flatter me in ways I never would've imagined possible, and I put a tremendous amount of time and effort into making damn sure I look my very best, especially when I venture out in public where I'm seen and silently evaluated by the entire world.

I ventured into center city, parking some two blocks away from Rittenhouse Square Park. Because it was Sunday and the weather was delightful, the streets were jammed with people enjoying the day. Since it was close to noon, I strolled down to One Liberty Square where I had lunch, a corned beef special and a bottle of water from Bain's Deli, while the food court was packed, no one took stock of me while I ate, after I finished, I left the building and strolled up to the Park which, predictably was packed with people taking in the sunshine and warm breezes. It took a solid ten minutes to find an empty bench, but once I did, I broke out my nook e-reader and spent the next hour and a half in Victorian London with Sherlock Holmes while scores of people came and went without sparing me so much as a glance or a stare. Yeah, I know, seriously old hat. I tell you, regardless of how you're dressed, there's nothing more relaxing than being in a park on a sunny afternoon with a good book,
electronic or hard copy.

I finally packed up and left around three p.m., leaving the park in the same state of blissful anonymity that I was in when I arrived, and I found that to have been utterly refreshing. More to come..

Again a great look.

I think that is a very accurate statement.  I suspect we would wonder who the stranger was if you posted a picture of yourself in your regular work attire (I'm not suggesting that you do that).

I still think earrings are a good idea, but nothing more than this:  earring idea

On the other hand it might give us an idea of what Jeff use to look like if he posted a picture of himself in his regular work attire.  LOL

Jaunt #365, 4/15/2017: Even though it was partly sunny, it was still pleasant enough for an outing, and perhaps because of the occasionally cloudy skies, I dressed appropriately in more muted colors, sporting an olive green shirt, a black crepe skirt, the Payless "O'Malley" slides in black and a black handbag. While I enjoy showing off my legs, there's something well...elegant in wearing longer, flowing skirts as it puts me more in touch with my feminine side than minis do. As for the O'Malley slides, it had been awhile since I last wore them, in fact, I don't think I wore them at all last year, so it was nice to reacquaint myself with the shoes and rediscover just how much fun it is to wear them, not to mention how stylish and comfortable they are to wear. Since my opinion on slides has changed drastically (I currently have eleven pairs), I now appreciate these shoes which I once despised for being impractical, now I see how stylish they are.

Because I haven't been to Parx Casino in awhile, I thought I'd head out there for a little fun. Arriving shortly before noon, I decided to have lunch first before hitting the gaming floor where I would spend some two hours, interspersed with visits to the bar to watch NBA playoff action on the large flatscreen TV's. As for winning money, meh, there wasn't much of that as I only managed to win little over sixty bucks, nothing to write home about to be sure, still, I go there to have fun, nothing more, nothing less. Once again, a casino is a great place to visit as you can wear just about anything you want and go ignored while patrons are engrossed in slot machines, craps or poker. Leaving Parx, I drove into downtown to chill out at Rittenhouse Square Park where I would spend another couple of hours strolling the area and relaxing on a bench while throngs of people came and went. All in all, a good day for a jaunt while I have a few extra dollars for grocery shopping. More to come....

Sorry.  I know I'm one of the ones who asked.  But Dude; you look better the other way.  Don't do this again!  Bring back the Jeff we all know.

Folks just for grins go back and look at the first post in this thread: 2008 post

Back then it was just heels.  Today's images are the result of an amazing journey.  Well done.

Personally, I like the typical guy attire with high heels more then the full blown skirts and woman's tops. But whatever floats your boat!

So, was my alter-ego shocking enough for everyone?  :giggle:

Pumped: Wearing guy attire with heels got seriously boring for me, thus my migration to women's wear. I probably would've stopped heeling altogether if I hadn't.

Alter-egos are interesting/fun/maddening all at the same time.  Have you taken a preference to one over the other?

I have at least two.  One likes to wear jeans and the other one likes to wear a skirt. There is another one that is just a grumpy old man.  When I wake up in the morning I never know, and am often surprised at, which one is there.  I have not chosen a preference between the first two, but the third one is depressing and I try to avoid him. :penitent:

I think you look great in skirts, I am still learning, most of my inspiration has been this thread! I think it's time to break out the shorter stuff now Spring has sprung! Sadly in the UK, Winter is back, so dug out the tights and wooly sweater, even wearing two slips under my black skirt today! Looking forward to your next jaunt :cheeky:
