JeffB Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 I definitely prefer shorter skirts, and personally think you present better in them Jeff. But whatever floats your boat. Keep on keeping on! Not to worry, Mr. X! I'll be presenting shorter skirts too! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SkirtDude Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I definitely prefer shorter skirts, and personally think you present better in them Jeff. But whatever floats your boat. Keep on keeping on! +1 The longer skirts are a bit 'grannified' and add years to you, if I'm honest. Even the skirts that have buttons down the front are a little bit dated IMHO. I know you love your denim pencil skirts, but pencil skirts do come in an array of colours and materials so could be worth a try if you are looking to update your wardrobe Looking forward to your next (miniskirted) jaunt

Not sure that's even a word! Heh! Well, what can I say? It's what I like to wear, and it looks good on me. But, as I said to Mr. X, I'll be wearing shorter skirts on future outings. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 "Grannified", eh? Not sure that's even a word! Heh! Well, what can I say? (In a high squeaky voice) "Eh.. What ja say Sonny?" I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
JeffB Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 (In a high squeaky voice) "Eh.. What ja say Sonny?" HA! Very funny! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
JeffB Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Jaunt #274, 7/11/2015: Just a short, but enjoyable outing as I had an appointment at my dealership for my state inspection, so I headed out in a black polo shirt with my favorite 21 inch denim skirt which I've had since 2008 but still fits like a glove and looks good on me, the Payless "Cori" wedge flats and my black Buxton bag which I haven't used in awhile. I arrived at the dealership around 9:15, fifteen minutes before my scheduled appointment and was treated warmly by the service staff, I went to the lounge where I watched TV and fiddled on my iPhone for about an hour and a half before my three year old car got a clean bill of health and I went on my merry way. Stop number two was downtown and my friendly neighborhood comic shop for the week's new offerings. Had to park little over a block away from the shop, but that afforded me a little walk where I could be seen, but, as usual, no one paid me any attention. After spending little over twenty minutes in the shop, I left and walked down to Barnes & Noble where I wandered the aisles for nearly half an hour, just going about my business before leaving with a couple of sports magazines. Finally, lunch down the street at McDonald's where I had dined in a previous outing, like before, I did get a few looks here and there, usually from little kids, but otherwise, nothing of substance as I went about my business of enjoying a sunny and warm Saturday. Wearing denim skirts or a certain length like I had is a good thing as they enable me for the most part, to go unnoticed since they can be mistaken by a mostly unobservant public for long shorts. But whether people see that I'm not wearing shorts is no big deal in the greater scheme of things, I'm just enjoying the clothes I like wearing. Nothing more, nothing less. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Great look JeffB. Good to see you have shed the "Grannified" image. You really do look comfortable in that outfit. Wearing denim skirts or a certain length like I had is a good thing as they enable me for the most part, to go unnoticed since they can be mistaken by a mostly unobservant public for long shorts. Nah... The look is a guy wearing a skirt (and a good looking one at that). I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
JeffB Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Great look JeffB. Good to see you have shed the "Grannified" image. You really do look comfortable in that outfit. Hmm! I see that term is going to get a goodly amount of traction, especially when I feel the urge to wear a maxiskirt. Meanwhile.... Jaunt #275, 7/12/2015: Another day of sunny and warm weather, another opportunity to take advantage of the conditions for an outing, albeit a short one as I had a couple of errands to run, which I did in a red tank top with my 16 inch black denim miniskirt, the Payless "Salliana" platform wedge sandals and my favorite black handbag. With temps in the upper 80's with plenty of sunshine, I figured conditions were just right to wear a mini, and it was certainly the right call as I felt cool and comfortable, paired with the light colored tank, it made for the sort of purely casual outfit just about any woman would just throw on to run errands on a late Sunday morning, and while I suspect most women would opt for flip-flops over four inch heels, I wasn't about to go that far in my emulation of the clothing styles of the fairer sex. But I digress. I headed west into Springfield for my errand running, first to Acme supermarket to pick up a few odds and ends I couldn't find on my shopping expedition earlier in the morning, the store was hustling and bustling with people, but I went mostly ignored (save for small kids, as usual) over the fifteen or so minutes I spent there. Stop number two was further down the road to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a new folding chair to use on my front porch as my old one had fallen apart and wasn't safe to use. After finding a nice new chair for just under thirty bucks (before taxes), I paid for my purchase, then headed back towards home, but with a stop at Best Buy for a little wandering. It was around noon or so and the place was fairly busy, but I went ignored, no stares or any of that stuff, spent well over half an hour there, engrossed in my usual ogling of gadgets and gizmos before heading to the register with the first season of Penny Dreadful on Blu-Ray which was on sale for $17.99. Whoo-hoo! Just love a sale! From there, it was back home. Just like yesterday, the outing was short but enjoyable, as is any adventure spent in a skirt and heels. Oh, and I hope Kilty and Thighbootguy will be happy to see me in a mini. Heh! More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
maninpumps Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Nice wedges ! Jaunt #275 . The pair of Payless "Cori" wedges look good Jaunt #274, 7/11/2015 . I have the American Eagle or Payless "Flora" and found mine to be uncomfortable after a few hours wear . How is the "Cori" style ? and how high is the wedge ? I may just need to stay with wedge platform heels. Seems I have the best luck with that style. Great job Jeff look forward to the next Jaunt .

I guess the notion of a man in a skirt is not such a big deal to people anymore, hence minimal stares, but I think it's down to how much confidence you show when you're out and about. Looking forward to your next jaunt
Mr. X Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Looking good Jeff! With those legs its a wonder why you would ever want to cover them up. And that red top actually looks orange to me. Maybe its my computer or the lighting or something. Good job regardless!

After finding a nice new chair for just under thirty bucks (before taxes), I paid for my purchase, then headed back towards home, I'm impressed that you bought a chair while wearing a mini skirt and 4" heels. Did you try the chair out in the store? Siting in a mini, especially in heels, is a challenge. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
JeffB Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Nice wedges ! Jaunt #275 . The pair of Payless "Cori" wedges look good Jaunt #274, 7/11/2015 .

I may just need to stay with wedge platform heels. Seems I have the best luck with that style. Great job Jeff look forward to the next Jaunt . Regarding the "Cori" flats, the wedge heel measures one and a half inches (measured from the back), and I find them quite comfortable. I've come to really love wearing platform wedges for their style and stability. Looking good, no grannification! (Just means to look old, see Urban Dictionary ) nice skirt, goes well with the top!

Looking forward to your next jaunt Yes, it does seem to be the case than a man in a skirt isn't the attention getter I tend to think it is. And yes, I do indeed exhibit confidence when out and about. Looking good Jeff! With those legs its a wonder why you would ever want to cover them up. And that red top actually looks orange to me. Maybe its my computer or the lighting or something. Good job regardless! Perhaps it is your monitor or lighting. I've never thought of wearing orange. HA! Meanwhile, thanks for the compliment on my legs. Much appreciated. I'm impressed that you bought a chair while wearing a mini skirt and 4" heels. Did you try the chair out in the store? Siting in a mini, especially in heels, is a challenge. Yes, I did indeed try out the chair before I bought it. Why wouldn't I? The chair was light and easy to carry, even in a miniskirt and four inch heels. As for sitting in said mini, it was no big deal, at least not anymore. Meanwhile, since yesterday was my 275th outing, it's time for....NUMBERS!!!

bluejay Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 JeffB, That's quite an impressive list. Im glad that you have the time to record your jaunts and what you wear. I don't have that much time. I also noticed that your red tank top looks somewhat orange on my screen too. When I post pics, sometimes the posted pic is not the real color, of either my shoes or clothing.. Thanks, again for the posts and the pics too. You looked great in both ensembles! One of these days, when I get time, I will have to post some pics of my ensembles. And yes, I have been wearing both mini and maxi skirts out on my jaunts. I do get some stares, but I've come to accept that. Happy Heeling, bluejay
JeffB Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 bluejay: I'm a nut for numbers and keeping track of my adventures is fun! As for my red tank looking orange, perhaps the flash on my camera had something to do with that. Wearing skirts of all lengths is very enjoyable. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
pebblesf Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 The possibility of a wardrobe malfunction never occurred to me when I bought that skirt, and I have three more just like it, I love the simplistic, casual styling with the front buttons, none of which have ever popped, and I'm fortunate for that. Glad you liked the top and the sandals. And now, it's time for the first Sunday Doubleheader of 2015! Jaunt #260, 4/19/2015, morning: With the sun up, I headed out to the supermarket shortly after 8 a.m., attired in my denim jacket over a brown t-shirt, the Old Navy 21 inch tan chino skirt, the Payless "Genevieve" loafers in cognac and a brown handbag. I've been eager to take the new loafers I had bought little over a month ago for an outing, and I'm happy to have made the purchase as they were supremely comfortable and stylish with the gold buckle on top, and matched well with the tan skirt. These shoes also came in black, but Payless didn't offer them in 13 wide, a pity because I would've bought a pair if they had. Anyhoo, there had been a good crowd at the market as evidenced by the cars in the parking lot when I arrived, but that was no deterrent as I hopped out of the car and walked on inside. Strolling the aisles at a leisurely pace as I sought the items on my list, I barely attracted any stares, which I was used to, after about half an hour or so of going about my business, I went to the check out lane, paid for my purchases, bagged my stuff, then left the market, pretty as you please, I was just another shopper, and that was good enough for me, I expected to be treated no differently from anyone else, and that was all I wanted. Jaunt #261, 4/19/2015, afternoon: The afternoon outing was a dirt simple case of having a screaming need to go out in a skirt and heels which had been on my mind from the moment I got back home from the supermarket. Despite plenty of sunshine, it was cooler than Saturday, even at high noon, so I headed out in my black faux leather jacket over a red t-shirt, my 16 inch black denim miniskirt, the Pleaser "Legend" thigh high boots and a black handbag. Admittedly, it had been quite some time since I last wore the five inch heeled boots and had to remember to take things slow at first until I had reacclimated myself to wearing them, but that didn't take long and I was having fun in them. Heading west into the burbs, my first stop was to an Acme supermarket to shop for a couple of items I couldn't find on my shopping trip that morning. I also had to remind myself to take smaller, deliberate steps with a slower gait inside the store because of the polished tile floors, but I managed quite well while I looked for the items I sought, Fiber One protein bars and barbecue rice cakes, standing in line for a few minutes, I paid for my items and departed, having barely attracted any attention the whole time. Back in the car, my next stop was down the road to Best Buy, there was a fairly good crowd in the store as I entered, but that was no big deal to me, as I strolled the Blu-Ray aisles, I caught the attention of a black lady in her late fifties (I guess) who looked up at me and grinned, saying, "You're pretty tall, and those heels make you even taller." I grinned back and said, "I just want to stand above the crowd." The lady chuckled and said that I did. After another twenties minutes or so of wandering, I bought an anime title and left. By that time, I was walking with a noticeable strut as I was having lots of fun wearing those boots with my short skirt, I felt good, damn good, because I was doing what I loved, freestyling, showing the world that a guy can break gender rules when it comes to clothing and look great in a skirt and heels when he puts his mind to that task. And that's my driving goal, to look my very best when in public, anything less would be a failure for me. More to come.... Jeff- Your nice long lean figure really looks great in those cool boots!
JeffB Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 Jeff- Your nice long lean figure really looks great in those cool boots! Thanks for the kind words! You'll see the boots again come fall! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
JeffB Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 Jaunt #276, 7/18/2015: I so look forward to weekends when I can go out on jaunts, and even though it was a tad sticky, I still headed out, dressed in a blue campshirt, my 22 inch khaki skirt, the Payless "O'Malley" platform wedge slides in natural and a beige handbag. When I put this outfit together two days earlier, the O'Malley slides were again, the first shoes I reached for and the only shoes I wanted to wear with said ensemble as I thought they worked well for my casual outing. Even though I've only had these shoes for a scant few months, I've already worn them more times than other shoes I've had in my closet for years, I just enjoy wearing them as I find them to be the perfect summer shoe. Pretty remarkable considering I once despised slides, now I can't keep them off my feet! Anyhoo, I went downtown to my friendly neighborhood comic book shop, parked little over half a block away, fed the meter and walked there, passing a group of about a dozen young people, happily chatting with each other, they never gave me so much as a glance, after some twenty minutes in the shop, I headed down the street to Rittenhouse Square and the park. The area was much crowded thanks to a farmer's market and stalls lining Walnut Street just outside the park, and I simply went about my business, ignored as usual. I went into the park and sat on a bench for well over half an hour fiddling around on my phone while scores of people walked past. With time winding down on my meter, I left, returned to my car and drove over the bridge to South Jersey and the Moorestown Mall area where I ate at Chick-Fil-A. As usual, there were a goodly number of kids there, but, for once, they paid me no mind while I was there and enjoyed lunch. From there, it was off to Barnes & Noble and some quiet time, after parking in the lot, I passed a young man in what I guessed was his early 20's, he looked me up and down and said, "Cool skirt, bro!" That, I hadn't expected, so I grinned and thanked him. The bookstore had a decent crowd as I sat in the lounge area with a bottle of iced tea and some sports magazines for nearly an hour before heading to the register with a couple of manga titles. My last stop was Best Buy, my home away from home, I spent well over half an hour there, taking all the delightful electrical and electronic gadgets, always fun for the geek in me, then I headed to the register with season one of Hannibal on Blu-Ray. Another satisfying outing, and given that it's been hot lately, count on seeing more of me in short skirts to beat said heat. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Great look JeffB! The belt really sets it off nicely. I recently bought a small watch that I am wearing full time and like it much better than the larger one I had. Next time try going to the farmers market. I don't know if your into home cooking but corn on the cob only requires boiling, and fresh tomatoes on a salad or sandwich can't be beat. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

I don't know if your into home cooking but corn on the cob only requires boiling, and fresh tomatoes on a salad or sandwich can't be beat. Thanks for the kind words. A month or so ago, I had seen a woman wearing a tan skirt with a thin brown belt and said to myself, why not? As for that suggestion about corn on the cob, I'll take that under advisement. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Whether you buy anything or not, next time try spending the half hour walking through the farmers market rather than sitting on the bench and being ignored. But fresh buttered corn on the cob sure is tastey . I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
pebblesf Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Jeff Thanks for the encouragement and congrats on the cool comment from that guy! I had almost given up after going through a couple of higher end thrift stores the other day coming up with nothing. Fortunately, I stopped at good ol goodwill before going home. I found a cool pair of black ankle boots with nice pointed toes, cool straps, but only 3.5-4" heels. The size 10s were snug but fit fine, great for walking, just in time for my long San Diego layover. The boots were easy to walk in, probably logged about 2.5 miles easily, wore my usual boot cut levis which displayed the cool toes nicely. The jeans didn't hide the heels completely, but one would have to look closely to notice them. I finally ended up harborside where I sat undercover in the shade while watching the world go by and enjoying a fish sandwich. I crossed my legs making one heel obvious, people passed by without noticing, at least I didn't see/hear any comments/objections. A great afternoon out in cool boots, the best $6.95 I've spent in awhile.
SkirtDude Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 The skirt suits you and goes well with your complexion. Nice outfit

SkirtDude Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Weather has been bad in London so today it's a simple black pencil skirt with black gloss tights and my favourite boots. Had to get some shopping and didn't want to get too wet outside. Not much of a jaunt compared to yours, Jeff, but i feel more confident out and about thanks for the encouragement as well
JeffB Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Well done, Kilty! Looks nice! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
JeffB Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Jaunt #277, 8/1/2015: The start of a new month means a brand new adventure which included spending some money, more on that later. Anyhoo, I headed out in the brown t-shirt with the lace insert on the neckline, the 20 inch beige (or natural) chino skirt from Old Navy with a thin brown belt, the Payless "O'Malley" platform wedge slides in brown and a matching brown handbag. As usual, the O'Malley slides were the first shoes I reached for when putting together this outfit, and, while it's no longer considered important, I still continue to make sure my purse matches my shoes. The skirt was comfortable and made me feel perfectly cool, despite the heat as temperatures reached into the low 90's, makes me wonder why more men don't take the plunge and wear skirts on oppressively hot days. My first stop of the day was to my friendly neighborhood comic book shop, had to park little over a block away, but that was no big deal as I got to enjoy a little stroll, passing by a family of four (mother, father, two young kids) who were speaking French, the kids, their eyes wide both gasped at me, the girl pointed at me before the mother admonished her. Well, I think she did, I don't understand French, still, that was mildly humorous. After twenty or so minutes spent in the store, I returned to my car and drove to Parx Casino in the greater northeast as I had an itch to wage battle with a one-armed bandit or two or three (the spending money thing). As usual, it's rather easy to go ignored in a casino as patrons are too busy working slot machines to notice a middle aged guy in a skirt and heels. As it was just after noon, I had lunch first then got busy on the penny slots, I think I was in the place for nearly two hours, balancing my time on the bandits with watching ESPN on TV's over the bar with a glass of soda. Didn't win all that much on the machines, maybe sixty or seventy bucks, but hey, beats winning nothing. On my way back into town, I stopped off at Rittenhouse Square to sit in the park and watch the world go by. The park was typically packed as it was close to three p.m., other than a little kid here and there, I went ignored here too for the forty or so minutes I spent in the park which is so very relaxing. I recommend spending quality time in a city park for the peacefulness, serenity and the small pleasure of watching women and getting tips on outfits they wear that I could adapt for myself. Heh! More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Looking great as usual, even the slides (I didn't say that). (That "as usual" is the real complement.) The brown tones suit you well. I'm going to have to find a better city park. None of the attributes you attribute to Rittenhouse Square seem to fit any of the parks I have visited. I tend to find kids, smoke, and noise. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
JeffB Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 TBG: Many thanks for the kind words. Once upon a time, I wasn't a fan of wearing brown, but it's grown on me. As for the city park, I'm lucky to be able to visit such a nice place filled with a wide variety of people who simply enjoy the surroundings which are very pleasant. It's clean, friendly and delightful, the people are polite and respectful, even the young ones. Meanwhile.... Jaunt #278, 8/2/2015: Just a short outing, but I wanted to take a new skirt out for a spin. Last week, I was in Old Navy to buy some t-shirts when I saw some cute jersey circle skirts which were on sale at only $9.99, so I decided to take the plunge and buy it. At 19 inches, it was a good length as short skirts go, and it was so light and airy, it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all. So, I paired it with my purple t-shirt with the lace insert, the Payless "O'Malley" slides in black and a matching handbag. My goal was a purely casual ensemble for a late Sunday morning outing, I headed west into Springfield and my home away from home, Best Buy, hopping out, I strolled right in and proceeded to spend a solid thirty plus minutes strolling the aisles, no one paid me anything in the way of attention the whole time before heading to the register with fresh batteries for my remotes and the Blu-Ray version of the latest Miyazaki film, The Wind Rises. Leaving the store, I headed back the way I came, swinging by Acme supermarket for a few odds and ends that I couldn't find at the local market I shop at earlier that morning. Got a few long stares here and there, mainly young kids, but I was used to that, fifteen minutes later, I was back in my car and drove to the nearby Arby's for lunch where I had their new BLT sandwich, curly fries and lemonade. Ahh, tasty! From there, it was back home. The new skirt was a delight, mainly because it was light and airy, and that made it fun to wear, and it's short length was no big deal either as summer is the perfect season for miniskirts. And, yes, I enjoy showing off my long legs to boot! More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
