Thighbootguy Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 JeffB; Great looking outfit! Jaunt #283, 8/29/2015: I wondered what those people noticed most: the skirt, the shoes or both? I would end up spending nearly an hour at the mall wandering about and it was interesting how some people took notice of me while most didn't, or, perhaps, chose not to notice. It was the blue top. It's your color. Since I don't cruise through malls all that often in freestyling mode, it was an interesting experience as I got to broaden my jaunting horizons, and that was enjoyable. More to come.... I don't enjoy malls no matter what I'm wearing. They are just not an environment I enjoy. I haven't ventured into one for a while so I might have to give it a try again just to see if things have changed. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
SkirtDude Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Hmm not too sure on this look. A decent knee length pencil skirt can address those issues perhaps a tad overdressed, even one of your usual denim skirts would have sufficed I think 'invisible denim' would have worked here, IMHO The outfit did look a little out of place...
JeffB Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 TBG: Thanks for the kind words. Perhaps I'll wear more blue in the future. Admittedly, I don't frequent malls all that much while on jaunts, in fact, I think this past Saturday was only the second or third time I've done that, still, it was mildly interesting, if but for no other reason than the reactions. Will I do that again? Who can say. Kilty: Perhaps the skirt was a tad long for the season, something like that would be more suitable for fall than summer, still, I enjoyed wearing it. As for looking out of place, well, I don't think that was quite the case. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

JeffB Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Oh, I never worry about stares. Since I know that's going to happen, I just do my best to take it all in stride. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Your word pictures are good enough if they can't roll back the forum to the previous release (if it ain't broke, don't fix it ).. picturing you in some black O'Malley slides teamed with a snug midi pencil skirt in denim on one of your jaunts to the Post Office to get a Money Order, followed by Chick-fil-A and a browse in Best Buy If you upload using Photobucket (using the direct URL, not ) rather than the gallery attachment (which seems to be off line), pictures can be seen. I took the liberty of posting one of your old links from page 18 of your thread (May 2009) Here's a nice pic of one your jaunts - I so want that skirt and bag Edited September 6, 2015 by Kilty picture upload advice (workaround)
JeffB Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Hmm! I'm that predictable, eh? Meanwhile.... It's time for the Sunday Doubleheader! Jaunt #284, 9/6/2015 (morning): Around eight a.m., I went to the supermarket on my weekly grocery run in a brown t-shirt, an Old Navy 19 khaki skirt, the Payless "O'Malley" slides in brown and a matching handbag. There wasn't much of a crowd at that early hour which is when I always do my shopping, the place was quiet with not many shoppers, and what few people that were there paid me no mind as I went about my shopping, and it felt relaxing to simply go about my business, and, thanks to coupons I clipped the night before, I managed to save a few dollars on my bill, definitely a good thing indeed! The only problem I had, per se, was the usual one when strolling through the frozen food aisles in a short skirt and having all that chilly air wash about my legs. BBRRRRRRR! Otherwise, a pleasant little outing. Jaunt #285, 9/6/2015 (afternoon): With a few extra dollars at my disposal, I decided to spend them at Parx Casino, heading there in a black tank top, a 28 inch muted green plaid skirt I bought at Old Navy the day before, the "O'Malley" slides in black and a black handbag. Regarding the new skirt, when I saw it at the store, I was instantly intrigued, both by the pattern and by how light and airy it was, so I went ahead and bought it, and I didn't regret it as it was fun to wear. As usual when freestyling at a casino, it's quite easy to go unnoticed as patrons were too busy working slot machines to notice me, I arrived shortly after eleven and got right to work on a new penny machine on the floor based on the Sons of Anarchy TV show, and wouldn't you know it, I got lucky on the machine after some fifteen minutes as I won little over $100 bucks. Not bad, not bad at all. Not one to push my luck, I cashed out, got my money and fiddled on an old favorite, Sex and the City and won another seventy bucks or so after some ten minutes of action. Whoo! I then paused to have lunch, then fiddled another couple of machines before I decided to leave with my meager winnings. On my way to the parking lot, a black woman my age with her husband said she liked my necklace, then asked if I had any luck, I replied that I did okay and she chuckled. From there, I headed back to the city and drove into center city, finding a spot a block away from Rittenhouse Square Park, I put five bucks in the meter and headed to Barnes & Noble where I renewed my membership, bought the newest issue of Sports Illustrated then retreated to the park, hustling and bustling and full of people thanks to sunny and mild weather, found a bench and sat down to read and otherwise relax. It was a great day to be in the park because it was so busy and full of people enjoying the day. After an hour and a half, I got up and left the park, passing a black woman about my age who said I looked nice, I smiled and thanked her, I walked two blocks down a crowded Walnut Street past people who didn't give me the time of day as I went to the Apple Store to check out the Macbook Air which I'm kinda interested in buying, despite it's rather steep price. After some twenty minutes in the store, I left and walked four blocks up the street to where my car waited and returned home. I'd say this was one of my more enjoyable outings, start to finish. More to come.... Edited September 7, 2015 by JeffB 2 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Both outfits look great. You should consider trying hose to smooth out the flow of your legs. They feel great to wear and really do make your legs look good. They also average out the temperature when cold air hits your legs and reduces the BRRRRRRR effect . I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
SkirtDude Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Jeff, you absolutely nailed it in the tan skirt! Nice slides too. Although there is a little bit of summer left, it's definitely getting close to tights again. Actually bought some stockings as I have felt that chill on my legs too, even when in a slightly longer midi skirt! The plaid one looks nice too, but very light. I am loving those brown slides. Time for the midi skirts to come out of the wardrobe now that autjmn is coming. I think this look in the attached photo - pencil skirt (and shoes) would suit you. Snug in cooler weather, yet sophisticated and doesn't look too dressy. Looks like its back to photobucket for now Looking forward to your next jaunt Edited September 8, 2015 by Kilty

JeffB Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Oh, I have pencil skirts, even a couple in black knit, and I'll be wearing them in the weeks to come.

JeffB Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Jaunt #286, 9/19/2015: So, on this, the last weekend of summer, with a goodly amount of sunshine and warm temps, I headed out for the day in a blue campshirt, my 20 inch tan chino pencil skirt, the Payless "O'Malley" platform wedge slides in blue/pink and a black handbag. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the slides go with a variety of outfits I've worn of late, especially since those have been my shoes of choice for the last couple of months now. My first stop was to a branch of my bank to tap the ATM machine, while taking care of business, a black man who looked to be in his late 20's or early 30's looked at me and said, "It must be great to be who you want to be." Not expecting such a comment which I'm sure was about my clothes, I grinned back and said "I do as best I can." He nodded and wished me a good day. I must say that was quite a surprise and a good way to start my outing. From there, I headed into town and my friendly neighborhood comic book shop to peruse the week's newest offerings. While walking to the shop, I passed a young woman walking her dog, she gave a little wave and said, "Cute shoes". I grinned and thanked her. Two compliments in one day! That has to be a record of sorts. Heh! After a good twenty minutes in the store, most of it spent chatting with the staff about last Monday's Eagles loss to Atlanta, I returned to my car and drove into South Jersey, lunch was at Wendy's where I enjoyed a BBQ pulled pork sandwich. Big time yummy to say the least. The next stop was to Barnes & Noble for some quality time spent reading the latest football (the U.S. variety) magazines for nearly an hour before heading to the register with a couple of anime magazines. My last stop of the day was to Sears for some shopping, buying three new skirts, one plaid, one print, the other, tan corduroy, tailor made for the upcoming fall season. As I said previously, I plan to branch out with my skirt wearing to include plaids and prints. Meanwhile, it was good as always to wander about in the clothes I choose to wear and go basically ignored, however, getting compliments on my attire is always welcome because open minded people appreciate how I look and how I conduct myself. More to come.... 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SkirtDude Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 The blue top really compliments the skirt, it's a nice contrast. Dress well and all you will get is compliments!
Thighbootguy Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Blue really is your color. The top bracelet and shoes work well together. I went looking for another pair of "slides" I thought you might enjoy: JeffB, you're looking great as usual. 2 I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
JeffB Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Kilty and TBG: Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated. I'll see what I can do about wearing blue more. While I'm not the type to preview outfits I plan to wear, I'll soon be wearing a variation of the ensemble below: I had seen that picture on the website of an online retailer well over a year ago and had become really intrigued with the outfit because it was sharp and dynamic and thought would look great on me. I already had the turtleneck and thigh boots but had a devil of a time finding the skirt until I discovered one similar to that at Old Navy a week ago. So I now have this outfit ready to go and I'm eager to trot it out in public. What do you think?

Thighbootguy Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 JeffB; You have certainly set yourself an interesting challenge. I'm really looking forward to your interpenetrate of that great look. Do note that the sweater and the boots are a soft fabric which I think adds balance to the overall look. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
Mr. X Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Go for it Jeff! I would love to see your interpretation of it. 1
SkirtDude Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Jeff, would love to see you in that outfit ! Very bold and youthful. Thanks for the preview, though there's not much left of summer for such a short skirt... I'm stocking up on tights soon, if you excuse the pun I am trying this look out, which is bold and am scouring ebay for the top and shoes Edited September 23, 2015 by Kilty 1

hh4evr1 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) There were a few UK shops that had gold toe cap shoes. I got a pair awhile ago. Not sure if they still have them.i think they were from New Look. Edited September 24, 2015 by hh4evr1
JeffB Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 TBG & Mr. X: I will do my best to present a look similar to the photo I posted. I'm excited by that outfit, mainly because of the thigh boots, I don't think that ensemble would've worked with any other footwear, and that's why I'm eager to wear it.Kilty: That's a nice outfit. I'd like to give that a try myself. Meanwhile, I remember Payless offering gold toe cap pumps, but they didn't come in my size, otherwise, I would've bought a pair.

You inspired me to put on my boots and a cute new PVC pencil skirt (pictured) today as I went to do my shopping. Felt a little self conscious, the slit at the back was quite high which made me feel a mixture of daring, yet exposed. Got a compliment from another shopper who asked where I bought my boots from! Another man asked why I was dressed the way I was, and I said I drew my inspiration from Seann Miley Moore from the X Factor UK. He rocked a similar pencil skirt but with a sheer top on his audition and people loved him! No jaunts this weekend? I thought I would see that cute mini or are you saving your jaunts for another time? Edited September 28, 2015 by Kilty 1
