SkirtDude Posted September 20, 2015 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighbootguy Posted September 21, 2015 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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.

SkirtDude Posted September 23, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hh4evr1 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) There were a few UK shops that had gold toe cap shoes. I got a pair awhile ago.

JeffB Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkirtDude Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hi Jeff. Haven't heard from you in a while, any jaunts on the horizon? Feeling a bit bad as my last lot of pics were so big... that skirt was no good in the end, the noise I made just to walk in it was like wearing a plastic bag, so I threw it away... might get a proper leather one soon. Denim does look better so I might just stick to that unless it's something I need to dress up for. Looking forward to your next jaunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm still around, Kilty, just been busy of late. As for that next jaunt, don't quite know yet, but I hope to go out again soon. A pity about the skirt you said you disposed, leather is nice, but darn expensive. Good luck with that! 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

The shops are full of them at the minute, and the midi skirt, especially pencil ones are popular at the moment. The PVC one looked nice in terms of its length, way it sat on my hips and all, but the noise when walking, doesn't matter if you wear tights or not, slip or not, was just deafening. I was rustling everywhere I walked. I felt a little self conscious in it as well. It wasn't too expensive so the loss was no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkirtDude Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The click of the heels is no problem, just when I am at home and the heels are off and doing housework or other things, the noisy skirt drove me mad.. didn't matter what was worn with it or underneath, the noise was just the same. I think it is the way the PVC material inside of the skirt was lined (not like a regular skirt lining), it looked like the material would eventually cracking or deteriorate, and when nature called it was a bitch to pull up when you urgently needed to (TMI, but no other way to explain) but I liked the cut and the length of the walking vent, but the material was wrong... leather or pleather would be better...

JeffB Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Jaunt #287, 10/12/2015: Wow! Hard to believe my last outing had been in mid September! Where did the time go? Anyhoo, with yesterday being a holiday, and with a chore to take care of, it was time to head back out for a jaunt on a sunny and chilly morning in my blue denim jacket over a short sleeved red t-shirt, my black denim pencil skirt, the Payless “Karmen” pumps in black and a black handbag. I must say it felt darn good to be back in a skirt and a pair of pumps, and this made for a casually dressy outfit. As for that chore, a few days earlier, the check engine light went on in my car, so I called the dealership and arranged for an appointment to have it looked at on Columbus Day. I arrived at the dealership for my nine a.m. appointment, and after checking in, I retreated to the lounge area where there were over half a dozen people there getting their vehicles services, none of whom paid me any attention as I took a seat and watched TV. About an hour in, a service representative came and told me what the problem was, that it wasn’t serious and would take a couple of hours to fix, I was in no hurry, and since the repairs were free since my car was still under warranty, I didn’t at all mind waiting. By noon, I was out and on the road, I headed westward into Springfield, my first stop was to Arby’s for lunch where I had a Beef & Cheddar sammich with bottled water, mighty good. From there, I headed to my home away from home, Best Buy where I spent well over half an hour gazing at all the newest gadgets and gizmos and envisioning what I could buy if I won the lottery before heading to checkout with a Blu-Ray copy of Avengers: Age of Ultron. My last stop of the day was to Springfield Mall, a place I hadn’t visited in quite a long time. Because it was a holiday, the mall was fairly full, but I walked through the place at a slow, casual pace, earning me a few stares and double takes here and there, usually from young kids, but otherwise, no one gave me anything in the way of attention while I was there, ending with some time spent in the mall’s anchor store, Macy’s as I wandered the women’s clothing areas, saw some nice skirts and dresses, but their prices weren’t exactly to my liking. Strolling through a mall full of people can be a challenge, though not one I indulge in often, but this little adventure went well. All in all, a pretty good outing I enjoyed, and that’s the important thing. Meanwhile, with cooler weather right around the corner, it'll soon be time to put away my summer tops and break out the long sleeves. More to come....

Your experience of putting together an outfit is really extraordinary.I think I'm repeating, but I don't enjoy malling.

With cooler weather right around the corner, I swapped out my tank tops and short sleeves for my sweaters, turtlenecks and heavier skirts yesterday. In fact, with temps only in the mid 50's for the weekend, I plan to wear tights and boots on Saturday, but not what you expect! Great look JeffB!

I go to great pains and spend a lot of time putting together outfits for my jaunts. If I'm going to wear women's clothes and shoes in public, then it's important to look my very best, and I'm fairly fanatical about that. I'm not much for mall crawling in fashion freestyle mode either, but I see it as a challenge to see just how far I can push the envelope. Kilty: TBG is right! You should start your own thread.

JeffB Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Jaunt #288, 10/17/2015: A considerable chill descended on the region early yesterday morning, with with temps only in the upper 50's, but that didn't stop me from going on a planned outing as I dressed appropriately in my black leather jacket over a magenta mockneck sweater, a 20 inch denim skirt I bought at Burlington Coat Factory, black tights, a black handbag and, last but not least, my newest footwear---Elites by Walking Cradles riding boots. I've been dying to get my hands on a proper pair of riding boots for years, but didn't like the offerings which either didn't come in my size or had outrageously wide shafts that I knew wouldn't work for me, but then I found the Elites at Maryland Square, so I took a chance and bought a pair, and I'm glad I did. These boots are positively delightful, fit well and looked great, matching well with the skirt I chose to wear with them. It really felt great to finally wear riding boots just like most women do at this time of the year and that made my outing all the more enjoyable. My first stop was downtown and my friendly neighborhood comic book shop, parking a block away so I could enjoy a little walk and be seen, of course, no one paid me any mind, but then, I was used to that as a guy in a skirt isn't any sort of attention getter. After twenty minutes in the shop, I headed down to Rittenhouse Square and Barnes & Noble where I bought a couple of sports magazines and renewed my membership. With time to kill, I walked further down the street to the Apple Store, mingling easily with the usual Saturday crowds, no one giving me so much as a glance, at the Store, I was hoping to get a glance of the new and larger iPad Pro with a 13 inch screen, but it wasn't there, a salesperson told me it wasn't due in until November, but that a lot of people asked about it. Walking back up the street at a casual pace, I returned to my car and drove over into South Jersey and the Moorestown Mall area where I had lunch at Wendy's where I got my first extended stare, as usual, that came from a young child, a six year old boy who openly expressed curiosity, but then, I was used to that too. After lunch, I headed to Best Buy for some ogling of gizmos and the like, something that never gets old for me, finally leaving with season one of Sleepy Hollow on Blu-Ray for $19.99. WHOO! I love a bargain! More shopping followed as I drove to Sears where I bought two new corduroy skirts and a couple of nice v-neck sweaters as my goal was to stock up on seasonal fall attire, from there, I swung by JCPenney at the Cherry Hill Mall where I bought two more sweaters before heading back home. I'd say this jaunt felt all the more special because I absolutely loved wearing my riding boots, and with cooler weather in place, I'll have more opportunities to trot them out in the weeks to come as I settle into wearing sweaters and heavier skirts.
