Thighbootguy Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Nice weather is an encouragement to go out. I like the top and skirt and jewelry. I still think a cropped denim jacket would look better. The slides do go nicely with the skirt, but I'm still not a fan. Overall a great look. I always wonder that the kid/parent conversation is going to be when a kid spys me out. I'm gonna have to find a "look at me" bench when I go out. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
bluejay Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Hi JeffB, Nice looking ensembles on your weekend jaunts. I especially like the tan skirt with the Payless, "Omalley" wedge heels. As I said last week, that I have the "Omalley" wedges in black, brown and rainbow colors. I've not worn mine out yet, only inside, as it's way to cold to wear sandals out and about, here. In fact we had a couple of days, when the ground was covered with snow, in the mornings, before it melted away. Last week, my heeling revolved around wearing leggings and boots, with the cold temps, in the high 30's and low 40's. Not sandal wearing weather yet. Today, I did venture out in a pair of animal print pumps from Lands' End, that I got last fall. At least I didn't have to wear boots out for warmth, as it got to 48*, this afternoon. Happy Heeling, bluejay
JeffB Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Kilty: Thanks for the kind words on the top. Once upon a time, I was not a fan of brown, but I've come to appreciate it now. TBG: Kids are funny with how they stare at me in abject curiosity. Sometimes, I'm amazed they don't point at me and yell at the top of their lungs, "Mommy! Why is that man wearing a skirt?" I suspect that scenario will actually take place one day. Meanwhile, I appreciate your compliments on my outfit, even if you couldn't bring yourself to like the new shoes. Heh! bluejay: Glad to read you liked the outfit. The tan skirt is just a great color for spring and summer and I plan to wear it more. Sorry to hear you're still plagued by cold weather, I hope you'll get to wear your springtime attire soon. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Sometimes, I'm amazed they don't point at me and yell at the top of their lungs, "Mommy! Why is that man wearing a skirt?" I suspect that scenario will actually take place one day. I'm surprised it hasn't happen already. A few years ago you would have expected it every time you saw a kid, but this new crop seems to have leaned some tolerance from their parents. In fact, a few years ago you would have expected it from the parents. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

In fact, a few years ago you would have expected it from the parents. all kids' peers wear skirts nowadays, so it's not such a big deal (Yung Thug, Jayden Smith, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa to name a few), not to mention kilts as well. And if you're looking good in your skirt, you're less likely to end up on Twitter or Instagram as the more clumsily dressed examples But someone as smartly dressed as Jeff will rarely have this issue
JeffB Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 I'm surprised it hasn't happen already. A few years ago you would have expected it every time you saw a kid, but this new crop seems to have leaned some tolerance from their parents. In fact, a few years ago you would have expected it from the parents. I agree with that. Still, I'll admit to being a tiny bit unnerved whenever some little kid gives me the hairy eyeball, mainly because I expect him (or her) to yammer out loud about me for all to hear, but I'm always relieved when that doesn't happen since they do appear to have learned tolerance, and, more importantly, manners from their parents. all kids' peers wear skirts nowadays, so it's not such a big deal (Yung Thug, Jayden Smith, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa to name a few), not to mention kilts as well. And if you're looking good in your skirt, you're less likely to end up on Twitter or Instagram as the more clumsily dressed examples But someone as smartly dressed as Jeff will rarely have this issue Quite true, Kilty, quite true. Being smartly dressed is the only way to go in order to avoid being embarrassed on social media. Meanwhile, it was two years ago today that I last wore jeans while on a jaunt. When I decided on a whim to wear only skirts for the spring and summer, then the rest of 2013, I had no idea that would lead to my wearing them on a permanent basis on my outings. I had become so enthralled by skirts and how good I looked in them, I couldn't bring myself to wear anything else from the waist down, and that feeling has only grown stronger, especially since I've added dresses to the equation. I've come to take tremendous pride in my skirt wearing, making sure I properly pair them with the right tops and shoes to assemble outfits that make me look my very best while in public as I've evolved from being a mere heeler to a full-blown fashion freestyler. As I've said here many times before, it's no longer just about the shoes, for me, it's about the complete image from head to toe, and wearing skirts has resulted in that altered mindset. I feel that my journey as a freestyler has only just begun and the best is yet to come, needless to say, I'm excited to see where that journey takes me next. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SkirtDude Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Hey Jeff! Haven't heard anything from you for a while, everything okay?
JeffB Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Everything's just fine, Kilty. Just been busy of late, perhaps I'll do a jaunt this coming weekend. We'll see. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
JeffB Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 Jaunt #264, 5/16/2014: After a two week or so hiatus, I'm back in the saddle for a new outing. With temps forecast to climb into the low to mid 80's, I dressed for the occasion in a pink tank top, my knee length, button down skirt in dark denim from Sears, the Payless "Nicole Chopout" platform wedge sandals and my favorite black handbag. Pairing the light colored top and dark colored skirt with a wide, white belt proved to be a nice touch. Overall, the outfit was nice and summerlike, especially with the addition of the sandals, the only shoe I considered wearing, it just seemed to be the most logical choice in terms of footwear as nothing else came to mind, and it felt good to wear them, ditto for the button down skirt which has also become a favorite, in fact, I have that same skirt in three other colors which I'll trot out in future outings. As for the pink top, I had been eager to wear that, and, like everything else, I enjoyed wearing it, heck, it was fun to wear pink! Anyhoo, I headed into town, stopping at a branch of my bank in the University City area to tap an ATM for some cash, then it was off for downtown, after parking little over a block from my friendly, neighborhood comic book shop, I put five bucks in the meter for two hours worth of time, then strolled to the shop where I spent a good twenty minutes, chatting about sports and comic book movies. Then I headed down the street to the Rittenhouse Square area, packed as usual with people, thanks to a weekly farmer's market which attracts big crowds, but no one paid me any mind, despite the pink top, skirt and high heeled sandals, while it was cool to go ignored, admittedly, I still find it a wee bit odd for that to happen, still, I don't complain. After some twenty minutes in the store, I left the store, crossed the street and entered the park which was quite full since the weather was sunny and nice, giving me an opportunity to stroll about and be seen, finding a bench, I sat, crossed my legs and read a magazine I bought, other than the puzzled stare from little kids, no one paid me any attention, as usual. With fifteen minutes left on my meter, I packed up and left the park, returning to my car which was little under half a mile away and drove off. From there, it was over the Ben Franklin Bride and into South Jersey, I had a hankering for a Chick-Fil-A chicken salad sandwich, so I headed to the store near the Moorestown Mall. There was a good crowd in the store, as usual, I got a stare or two from little kids, but nothing more than that as I got my order, sat and ate in peace. Next was Best Buy, also plenty crowded where I spent a good half hour, chatted with a salesperson about Apple laptops before heading to the register with the Blu-Ray version of Escape From New York. My last stop of the day was at Barnes & Noble, as I approached the store, I opened the door for an older lady who looked at me, smiled and said, "That's a pretty skirt. It looks nice on you". I smiled back and thanked her, as it's always good to get a compliment on my attire. I would spend nearly an hour reading Sci-Fi magazines with a tall glass of lemonade before leaving with four manga titles, then headed home. I had idly wondered what sort of reception I'd get from wearing a pink top, but, like all my other outings, it raised no hackles, I was just another person enjoying the nice weather to be out and about like everyone else, and, at the end of the day, that was good enough for me. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 JeffB; Back in August 2014 I disagreed with your wearing a pink tank top. I stand corrected... The outfit looks great. The jewelry and contrasting belt are a nice touch that pulls together a more complete image My only concern with the tank top is be getting too much sun. It is an issue I watch when I'm wearing one of my new black dresses which have a similar top. I may have to look for some colored versions. Is parking any better at Schuylkill River Park? I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
JeffB Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 TBG: Never spent much time at Schuylkill River Park, so I can't tell you. Glad to read that you changed your mind about my wearing a pink top. I was eager to take that tank for spin for some time, and yes, it did pair well with my skirt. And now, it's time for.... THE SUNDAY DOUBLEHEADER....IN SLIDES! Jaunt #265, 5/17/2015- Morning: It was time for my weekly trip to the supermarket, so, on a whim, I decided to turn it into a jaunt, heading out in a blue, V-neck t-shirt, the Sears button down skirt in beige, my favorite black handbag and the Payless O'Malley platform wedge slides in black. After having enjoyed wearing the similar shoes in beige (natural), I decided to take the black ones for a spin. Like the other pair, the platform wedge made for stable wearing, easy to stand and walk in, and the "deceptive" (as I call them) four inch heels gave me all the height I wanted with that outfit. It was little after 8 a.m. when I left for the market, so there was a fair sized crowd at the market when I arrived, but I just hopped out, grabbed a cart and went to do my shopping. As with the case almost everywhere else I go, I didn't attract much in the way of stares, positive, derisive or otherwise, so I just went about my business, spending close to half an hour in the store, slowly cruising from aisle to aisle to aisle, no big deal whatsoever. After a five minute wait in line, I paid for my purchases, headed out, loaded up my car and left, pretty as you please. Jaunt #266, 5/17/2015- Afternoon Needing to buy a money order to renew my newspaper subscription, and swing by the drug store to buy something I needed as per a comment Thighbootguy made, so I decided to dress up, sporting an outfit I bought at JCPenney the week before: an a.n.a. (the store's house brand) crochet lace shoulder dolman t-shirt in olive green and a side slit maxi skirt in green print. When I saw that outfit on a mannikin in the store, I was instantly intrigued and decided it would good on me, heck, I even knew right away just what shoes to pair with the outfit, they being the O'Malley slides in natural (beige), all I needed was a matching (or close to matching) handbag, which I bought along with the outfit. This made the first time I've worn a patterned or print skirt, everything else had been solids, so this made for a new experience, and I enjoyed how light and airy the skirt was, oh, yeah, the side slits made for a darn nice touch as well. Attired in my new outfit, I headed down to the city's main Post Office which opened on Sundays at noon to buy my money order, having arrived just when it opened. Hopping out, I strolled inside and was sixth in line, waiting little over ten minutes before going up to the counter to buy my money order, there had been close to ten people behind me, but no one stared, at least not that I noticed. After I left, I drove into center city, stopping at a Rite Aid to buy a spray can of SPF 70 sunscreen after Thighbootguy mentioned how my skin was exposed in those tank tops I enjoy wearing, so I figured it would be a bad idea to invest in sunscreen to use while out and about during the spring and summer. Thanks for the suggestion, TBG! I might've stayed out longer, but the skies were dark at the time with showers in the forecast, in fact, no sooner had I returned to my car, it started raining. Good timing. All in all, it was a short, but good out, it was fun to wear a print skirt, something a great deal more dynamic and colorful than what I usually wear on my outings. As for wearing my slides on both outings today, they were the only shoes I wanted to wear, leading me to think I might be experiencing yet another paradigm shift. Three years ago, the notion of wearing open toed and/or open backed shoes like sandals or slides was a major league non-starter for me because of how much I disliked them, now I've come to appreciate such shoes, especially in the spring and upcoming summer and how well they go with my skirts. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Good timing. Ah... wouldn't want JeffB to melt. I like both outfits a lot but the patterned long skirt really surprised me. I haven't put my finger on the reason yet but that outfit is the most feminine look I have ever seen you present. In fact with the first picture with that skirt, I had to remind myself I was looking at JeffB. Well Done! I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
bluejay Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 OK, JeffB, on your most recent jaunts. I liked all the ensembles that you wore over the weekend. I'm glad your gettting a lot walking time in your O'Malley wedges. I have been wearing my O'Malley wedges too, and just love wearing them. Unlike you, I have been a fan of slides for years. My wife and I, even have matching pairs of Naturalizer slides, in block heels, both in black and white colors. Now I love the look and feel, with the, O'Malley, wedge heels. Just tonight, I wore my brown, O'Malley wedges, with khaki colored capris, with a brown polo shirt. It was a nice look for an evening out. On Saurday, night I wore my rainbow colored, O'Malley slides, with a white mini skirt and red top. Got a couple, of looking good compliments, in my travels. Thanks for your post and pics too. Happy Heeling, bluejay

In fact with the first picture with that skirt, I had to remind myself I was looking at JeffB. Well Done! What can I say? I don't like being out in the rain. Thanks for the kind words on my latest outings yesterday. As for the afternoon outfit, I appreciate your saying that was my most feminine look, perhaps the strand of pearls I wore had something to do with that. It certainly felt good to wear that outfit as I've developed a real desire to wear maxiskirts, they're more fun than I thought. And yeah, I won't deny that I felt feminine.

Happy Heeling, bluejay Thanks for the compliments. Like I mentioned earlier, the O'Malley slides were the only shoes I wanted to wear with those outfits yesterday, they're such fun shoes because they're comfortable and easy to stand and walk in. The style of those shoes attracted me from jump street and I've come to enjoy them. Meanwhile, I plan to buy those slides in brown which would go well with my khaki skirts. Kudos to you and your latest outings, sounds like you enjoyed yourself. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SF Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Jeff, I was also looking at those O'Malley slides, they really look nice. However, once I got to the store and saw them I had to pass, the wedge at 4+ inches is WAY to tall for me! I'm already 6ft 3in. I did try a pair on anyway - with the encouragement of the sales gal, thanks Payless - and they are comfy. Have fun wearing them. sf "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
tallguyinheels Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 GM, Don't fear those high heels - embrace them... I'm 6'5" and the extra height just lets feels good.
SkirtDude Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 The green skirt is fabulous! Suits you, and the slides look good

Have fun wearing them. sf SF: I'm only an inch shorter than you are, and I never worry about the added height wearing heels gives me. Heck, if anything, I rather enjoy standing above the common crowd. Heh! As for the slides, I find four inches to be a good height for day to day wearing. GM, Don't fear those high heels - embrace them... I'm 6'5" and the extra height just lets feels good. Now THAT'S the spirit! The green skirt is fabulous! Suits you, and the slides look good Thanks for the kind words. And yes, I did enjoy wearing the green print skirt. As for the O'Malley slides, the more I wear them, the more I appreciate their unique style and how they're great shoes for spring and summer. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
bluejay Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks JeffB for your approval and confidence in the O'Malley slides. I like mine very much. I wear them every chance I get. That's why I have 3 pairs of them. I will be getting the off white ones too. I'm not as tall as you, being 5'11". I think the extra height is great. Happy Heeling, bluejay
SF Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Being tall has is downsides -- my lament, poor me…. ha ha ha…. sf "Why should girls have all the fun!!"

Happy Heeling, bluejay I have a couple of white skirts, so the O'Malley slides in natural should work well with both. If those shoes came in a dedicated white, that would be even better! Being tall has is downsides -- my lament, poor me…. ha ha ha…. sf Embrace your height, my friend! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SF Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 ha ha…. Yeah I do, except it is hard to find clothes that fit …. gotta complain about something… ha ha, take care… sf "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
JeffB Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Guess what? You lucky folks get to read about.... ANOTHER SUNDAY DOUBLEHEADER! Jaunt #267, 5/24/2015 (morning): With sunshine and cool temps in the low 50's, I decided to turn the week's trip to the supermarket into a jaunt, leaving the house shortly after 8 a.m. in my denim jacket over a black tank top, the knee length button down denim skirt, the Payless "O'Malley" slides in black and a black handbag. Once again, I was eager to wear the slides which I've come to really like, moreso than I thought, they're comfortable, stylish, yet low key and casual while the four inch heels give me all the height I want. Bottom line, these are fun shoes to wear. After arriving at the market, I hopped out, grabbed a cart and walked on in, just like last Sunday, there was a fair sized crowd in the market, but I went about my business with no muss or fuss from people around me, leisurely strolling the aisles to fill my cart. I spent close to thirty minutes in the store before leaving with my parcels, saved nearly fifteen bucks to boot, can't beat that with a stick! Jaunt #268, 5/24/2015 (afternoon): Having bought a new pair of shoes at Nordstrom Rack just yesterday, a dynamic looking pair of platform wedge sandals with four inch heels in natural, I paired them with my brown t-shirt with the embroidered front, a 36 inch, brown print skirt and my beige handbag which pretty much matches the shoes. Speaking of which, the new shoes looked great on me, not to mention comfortable and easy to stand and walk in, also, this latest purchase made my sixth pair of platform wedge sandals, and I'm not sure that's enough for me as I've come to really love wearing this style of shoe, something I never would've said some three years ago when all I would wear were either "enclosed" shoes (a.k.a. pumps), loafers or boots. Back then, sandals (and now slides) would never have factored into my shoe wearing, today, I'm absolutely crazy about them. I'm also enamored with wearing long skirts, as much as I like showing off my legs, there's something about a maxi that really thrills me. Anyhoo, my outing took me to Parx Casino in the northeast where I haven't been since last summer if memory serves, and, as has been my tradition, all my trips there have been either in heels or heels and skirts, I've yet to wear a stitch of men's clothing in that place. The great thing about freestyling in a casino is that everyone is too engrossed with table games or slot machines to pay much, if any attention to a middle aged man in women's clothes, it was about 12:30 p.m. when I arrived, so the place was pretty much full, and no one paid me any attention. As for action on the floor, I would graviate to something like six or seven different one cent machines, didn't win much, the most I won was around sixty bucks, but hey, I go there to have fun, I never think about trying to win a king's ransom, something you can't do on a penny machine anyway. I would end up spending about an hour and a half in the place, splitting my time between attacking one-arm bandits and watching baseball on HDTV's at the bar in the middle of the gaming floor. All things considered, it was fun, especially after I left with about fifty bucks. Back in the car, I returned to town and drove to Rittenhouse Square. Took a good thirty minutes to find a spot some two blocks away from the park, put an hour's worth of cash in the meter and strolled to the park, I did get a few idle stares here and there, nothing more, in the park, I found a bench and busied myself checking Twitter and Facebook on my iPhone. I did have an encounter of sorts, I rail thin black man in his mid-twenties, dressed from head to toe in black, sporting long coat, fedora, a moustache and dark red lipstick, and wearing knee high lace-up boots with what looked like five or six inch platforms, he gave me a scowl and narrowed his eyes, his expression one of what I perceived as, well, mild disgust as he walked past. I found that rather ironic, given how he was dressed. However, my own face was impassive as I had no desire to pass judgment on his appearance, even while he did so with me. It was exceeding rare when my appearance elicited disgust in others, but again, taking into account how that young man was dressed, he had no business being a pot calling the kettle black, pardon the pun. With my time running low, I packed up and returned to my car, pleased with another successful outing, pushing the envelope by wearing another printed skirt and enjoying my new sandals which were a treat to wear. My mind was on that young man and his displeasure of my appearance, to be honest, I found it both ironic and mildly amusing, but hey, when I decided to put myself in the fishbowl, I knew encounters like that was likely to happen. Still, it was interesting in it's own way. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Mr. X Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Anyhoo, my outing took me to Parx Casino Nice read again Jeff. I have yet to do a casino outing as you did. I think I may have to try that at some point. In my town though, being that it is smaller, I would definitely run into someone I know if I did a casino outing. You can't go to the casino here without running into someone you know.
bluejay Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Looking Good JeffB. From one O'Malley lover to another, your wedge slides look great and so do your wedge heel sandals. With the big sandal sale at Payless, I bought the other two colors of the Omalley wedge slides, the natural and the pink and purple multi. Now I have all five colors. I just love wearing them, and they go with everything in my wardrobe. Thanks for the post and pics. Enjoy wearing your O'Malley slides. Happy Heeling, bluejay
Himark Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Sorry to butt in to your thread with a question, but I note that you (and Bluejay) mention liking the Payless O Malley slides. I thought I would like them as well, but I've tried them on in a store on more than one occasion and went away without buying them. The fabric.band seems to want to roll under as I insert my foot and I found it very difficult to straighten out. Have you noticed any such problem with the O Malleys or is it just me?

I'm fortunate to live in a big city where the likelihood of running into someone I know is extremely small. As for casino outings, one day, I'll have to try my luck in Las Vegas. That would be fun!

Thanks for the kind words. Regarding the O'Malley slides, I never thought I'd enjoy them as much as I have, but, like I said, they're great fun to wear and look equally great with my knee length and longer skirts. After yesterday, I've worn both colors (black and neutral) twice and will try to add another color (brown) to the wardrobe. I'm already eager to wear those shoes again. Sorry to butt in to your thread with a question, but I note that you (and Bluejay) mention liking the Payless O Malley slides.

The fabric.band seems to want to roll under as I insert my foot and I found it very difficult to straighten out. Have you noticed any such problem with the O Malleys or is it just me? Hmm! Curious. I can't say I've encountered the problem you described. Don't take this the wrong way, but did you buy them in your proper size? That might be a factor. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SkirtDude Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Jeff, loving the all denim combo! Looks great, though I prefer a slightly shorter, tighter skirt, but that's just my fashion choice. Love the black slides as well

It would be easy to do outings there. Not only that. I think I would have the ability to push the envelope a lot further than I do now. The main thing that holds me back is running into people I know. Otherwise, I would wear anything and everything!
