JeffB Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 Jaunt #311, 5/14/2016: After several days of clouds, chilly temps and rain and/or showers, Mother Nature gave me a bit of a break on Saturday with morning sunshine and temps in the low 70's before afternoon thunderstorms rolled in, but it was long enough to enjoy a relatively brief outing, garbed in my brown shirt with the lacey neckline, the 20 inch Old Navy khaki skirt, the Payless "O'Malley" slides in natural (kind of a beige) and a matching handbag. Just a causal sort of outfit for a Saturday, one of the benefits of wearing a light skirt on a hot day was that I felt cool and comfortable in ways that wasn't possible in jeans or even shorts, and, as usual, I was perfectly at home in what I wore, including the slides which I can't resist wearing. Driving into center city, I parked a couple of blocks from Rittenhouse Square Park and walked to the Barnes & Noble store, "enduring" the usual total lack of attention from passersby, spending a good thirty minutes in the store, then walked two plus blocks down a crowded Walnut Street to the Apple Store where I bought a case for a new iPad I bought a couple of months ago. From there, I was off to lunch at the food court in a skyscraper a block away, enjoying a tuna salad with a bottle of water from Bain's Deli. I must say it felt good to mingle with the masses and not attract anything in the way of curious or amused stares, regardless of how I was dressed, of course, I felt that was attributed to being tastefully dressed for the surroundings, always an important consideration for me, and something I can't stress enough to everyone who reads my accounts and thinks about public fashion freestyling. Looking trashy or outlandish is the best way to gain the sort of attention I would find unwanted. Hopefully, the weather will stabilize and things will stay sunny and warm in the months to come so I can enjoy wearing my shorter skirts and show off my legs. Heh! More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) JeffB, that is a great coordinated look! The neck ware, and watch really completes the image. (I didn't say this but, even the slides look good). May I suggest that if you have your glasses prescription, you look at something like zennioptical.com for a pair of inexpensive feminine frames. Glasses Again...great look! Hey JeffB it looks like @tina is about 20 miles up I-95 from you. Edited May 15, 2016 by Thighbootguy Postscript I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

JeffB Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 Like Walt Disney said, it's a small world after all! Jaunt #312, 5/15/2016: Thanks to a cold front that blew through early Saturday evening with a thunderstorm or two, temps on Sunday struggled to reach 60 while stiff breezes made things feel a good ten degrees cooler. Still, that didn't stop me from going out on a short trip to run an errand, heading out in my black faux leather jacket over a red t-shirt, a denim button down skirt, the Pleaser "Vanity" four inch heeled knee boots and a black handbag. There was indeed a solid chill in the air, but I felt comfortable, so it was no big deal, since that was the first time I've worn my button down skirt with the Pleaser boots, I thought it made for a nice combination. As it was close to noon, my first stop was Subway in Springfield for lunch, there were no other customers in the store at the time as I ate, from there, I headed out to a computer store in the western suburbs to buy a software program I needed to wipe the hard drive of an old computer I plan on donating instead of putting on the street to be trashed. It was around one p.m. when I arrived at the store, there was a decent crowd inside, but no one paid me any mind, save for the occasional salesperson who asked if I needed help (I didn't). It took only a few minutes to find the software I sought, but I still enjoyed browsing the store gazing at all the computer based toys, just like I would at my home away from home, Best Buy. Twenty minutes later, I was off, speaking of Best Buy, yeah, I couldn't resist the pull of the place, so I swung by the Springfield location for a half hour worth of happy ogling at gadgets and things before heading to the register with a Blu-Ray copy of Deadpool. From there, it was back to the barn to watch the Phillies followed by game seven of the Toronto-Miami NBA playoff series. It's interesting to note that while I try to stay out as long as I can because my outings sometimes tend to be far and few inbetween, I find shorter outings to be just as enjoyable. But hey, any chance I can get to go out and about in a skirt and heels is welcome. More to come.... 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Great outfit JeffB. All works well together. How about some subtle neck wear? 1 I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
SkirtDude Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Great combination as always I didn't know Deadpool was out already... I guess we lag behind a little this side of the Pond. The skirt goes well with the boots. Looks great ☆☆☆ 1
bluejay Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 JeffB, Nice look on a chilly day. It was so cold here that snow was falling Sunday morning, about 9 AM, with temps in the high 30's. No accumulation, but just the same, Spring is having a tough time. On Saturday, night I had to abandon my plans to wear a royal blue, short skirt, with floral colored pumps. Instead, I wore royal blue, women's slacks, with the pumps. I even added my white leather, cropped jacket, to keep warm, on my outing. Oh well, hopefully Spring, will get here to stay, one of these days! Happy Heeling, bluejay 1

JeffB Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 Jaunt #313, 5/22/2016: Unlike most outings, this was mainly a spur of the moment trip as I had a crazy desire to put on a skirt and a pair of heels and go out, nothing more, nothing less, and out I went in my denim jacket over a black tank top, a dressy printed skirt that fell below my knees that came from Sears, the Payless "Karmen" pumps in black matte and a matching handbag. The outfit was highlighted by the skirt which was light, airy and easy to wear, a step above casual, thus my having worn pumps instead of say, the O'Malley slides, and it allowed me to dress up just a bit, and there's nothing wrong with dressing up on a Sunday. With no particular place to go, I drove downtown, parked some two blocks away from Rittenhouse Square and strolled to one of my usual spots, Barnes & Noble, on the second floor was the cafe where I bought a sandwich and a bottle of water and sat down for well over an hour as I ate and composed a new thread for the forum about women's clothes on my iPad. The whole time, no one paid me any mind as I sat at the table and typed away, time well spent to say the very least, and most enjoyable to boot. After that hour had passed and I typed the bulk of my little treatise, I packed up and left the cafe, down on the main floor, I poked around the magazine section when a plump black woman in her mid to late twenties looked me up and down then said to me that my skirt was pretty. When she asked where I bought it, I told her it came from the Sears store in Moorestown Mall, I added that I bought it a year ago and didn't know if it was still on sale. The woman looked a bit disappointed but said she'd go there one day and look, before walking off, she smiled and said I looked cute, I smiled back and thanked her. How about that, here I was, a 57 year old man with graying hair called cute by someone, needless to say that came as quite a surprise, but a pleasant surprise. One more example of how all the hard work I put into assembling a stylish, tasteful and proper image of a man in women's clothing produced a positive result, a goal I long sought for myself as a fashion freestyler. As I'm forever fond of saying, I guess I'm doing something right, and having fun wearing the clothes and shoes that I love at the same time. More to come.... 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 JeffB; The outfit looks great. I think the denim jacket is a little too casual for the overall look and that the black leather one would have worked a little better. Stylish, fashionable, tasteful... all seem appropriate but I don't think I'll go as far as "cute"; but its nice to a complement. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
SkirtDude Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 I would agree with TBG that it is not exactly "cute" unless the lady in question was being facetious I think a nice ladies mac (raincoat), one of those lightweight ones would have completed the outfit for a more demure look. The denim is very casual, although double denim (the jacket and similar denim skirt) would look good together. The skirt is very formal, IMHO. Though a similar printed pencil skirt would go with the denim top

Regarding my decision to wear the denim jacket, it was too cool to go with just shirt sleeves, but too warm for the leather jacket. As with everything, it was all about experimentation to find something I thought that would work. For a situation like that, perhaps a blazer would work better. I'll see about obtaining one. As for being called cute, that did kinda take me by surprise, but hey, a compliment is a compliment. 5 hours ago, heelsrus2000 said: I would agree with TBG that it is not exactly "cute" unless the lady in question was being facetious I think a nice ladies mac (raincoat), one of those lightweight ones would have completed the outfit for a more demure look.

Thighmax Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 You are awesome JeffB!!!! It is great to see that you dress the way you like. I do believe that dressing like that must have lifted a weight of your shoulders, I know it would to me. Keep posting these pictures and experiences, they make me feel that it is possible to wear whatever one wants to wear. 1
JeffB Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 Thighmax: Thanks for the kind words. I'm just doing the very best I can. I'm glad folks like you appreciate my efforts. Jaunt #314, 5/28/2016: A couple of weeks ago, temps here struggled to crack 60 over the weekend, yesterday, we saw a high of almost 90. NINETY! In late May. That's the problem with living in my neck of the woods, spring lasts about a week before we go directly into the microwave. Anyhoo, the heat didn't stop me from going out for the day on a jaunt, attired in a turquoise blue top with lace style sleeves, my Old Navy 20 inch khaki skirt, my new Payless "Sinclair" platform wedge sandals in navy and a black handbag. The top, which I bought from Sears was so cute, I bought it in three other colors, black, red and sea green, as for the shoes, they were also cute, fit well and were comfortable. At this time of year when the weather is warm, sandals are really fun shoes to wear, and my passion for platform wedges made those shoes a treat. My first stop of the day was to the main branch of the city's Post Office to buy a money order, there was a bit of a long line as there were half a dozen people ahead of me, I did get some long looks from a couple of Latino kids waiting with their parents nearby to have passport pictures taken. Those kids were both wide-eyed and puzzled at my appearance, when I grinned at them, they turned away. Oh, well, them's the breaks. After buying my money order, I left for downtown and my friendly neighborhood comic book shop where I spent some twenty minutes, then headed down to Rittenhouse Square Park, even though temps were already in the 80's, I felt perfectly cool and comfortable in my short skirt, the airy feeling was most delightful, something I wouldn't have experienced in long jeans or even shorts, again, it makes me wonder why more guys don't wear skirts to keep cool on exceedingly hot days. The comfort that comes from wearing them is real and considerable. As usual for a sunny late Saturday morning, the park was bursting at the seems with people, none of whom paid me any attention as I casually strolled about until I found a bench and sat down with a paper to read and just enjoy the surroundings for nearly an hour. Being in the park is great fun for me as I get to people watch and be watched. Returning to my car, it was off to South Jersey and the Moorestown Mall area where I had lunch at Wendy's where I was ogled at by several young teens in baseball uniforms, while I did get a couple of giggles, that was pretty much it. After that, it was off to the nearby multiplex to see Captain America: Civil War, had to stand in line for nearly ten minutes, earning me a few stares, but nothing came from that, after buying my ticket, it was off to the men's room to take care of business where I got a long look from an older gentleman who looked somewhat irked, but didn't say anything. As for the film, WOW! It was great! I recommend it highly! Casually walking through the main lobby after the film, I got some more looks but ignored them as I headed back to my car to return home. I think this outing represented the most looks I've gotten on an outing in awhile, but it was no big deal, still, it would've been cool to have interacted with anyone who wanted to engage me in conversation about my attire, but that didn't happen. Speaking of cool, short skirts are definitely a must on hot days in order to be comfortable, and I plan to wear mine more in the future. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SkirtDude Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) What a fantastic ensemble! The turquoise really suits you ♡ people were probably staring as they were so jealous nice skirt as well and I have to invest in some slides like that, but I fear not tanning my feet properly and having strap lines of lighter skin crisscrossing my feet I have to see Captain America when it's released over here in the UK. You always look so composed when you model your jaunt ensembles, I am surprised that you have never been tweeted or appeared on social media, but I guess people must really accept fashion freestyling nowadays. A picture of you whilst actually out on your jaunt at the mall would look even better and encourage more to embrace heeling and fashion freedom! Still, looking forward to your next jaunt Edited May 30, 2016 by heelsrus2000
bluejay Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Nice look JeffB. Finally the summer heat hit here too. Spring disappeared in a few short days. A couple weeks ago we were looking at snow flurries. Record heat on Friday and Saturday, a little cooler today only about 88*, but still very hot for this time of the year. With Memorial Day here, it was time to break out the white. I wore a 20" white skirt, Saturday night, with a royal blue polo shirt and my new Aerosoles , "Light N Sweet" white leather, wedge heel, slides. I carried my Vera Bradley, multi colored floral, cross body bag. I got a nice compliment from the woman sales associate, at the Land's End kiosk, in the Sears store, who has seen me wearing heels, many times. Today, I wore a hot pink 20" skirt, with a white polo shirt and again the Aerosoles, white leather wedge heel slides. Today, I matched the shoes with a white leather, cross body bag. Having recently returned from a vacation, my legs were nicely tanned and I did look good wearing my skirts. Any yes the comfort level on a hot sticky day, wearing a short skirt, is a great way to go, for us men. A skirt is so much more comfortable than shorts. Hope everyone has an enjoyable Memorial Day, here in the USA. Happy Heeling, bluejay

So far, I've yet to encounter problems with strap lines of shoes. Speaking of which, just wait until you see the shoes I wore on my latest outing! 6 hours ago, bluejay said: Nice look JeffB.

I'd do so today, but we're going to have periods of rain throughout the day. Oh, well, there's always next weekend. Meanwhile, two thumbs up on your outfit! Jaunt #315, 5/29/2016: With Sunday being just as sunny and nice as the previous day, it was a good time for a new outing. But, unlike Saturday, I wanted to dress up, going with a black tank top, a black and white printed skirt, a new pair of shoes from Payless, the "Havana" block heel sandals and a black handbag. The skirt, one of three I bought at Sears two weeks ago checks in at 32 inches long, is light, airy, perfect for spring and summer, also, it's lined, a first for me, in short, it's a pretty skirt and I enjoyed wearing it. Then there's the shoes, plain and simple, I'm hooked on sandals and was most intrigued with these, especially the 3 1/2 block heels, something I've never worn before, I found the Havana sandals most stylish and paired well with my skirt. Altogether, it was an outfit I felt great wearing as I was proud of how I looked. My first stop was to Micro Center, a computer store in the western suburbs to buy a new wrist rest for my computer keyboard, after finding what I wanted and wandering the aisles for nearly half an hour. Going to the registers, I was waited on by a petite Latina who, after ringing up my purchase, smiled and said my skirt was pretty, I grinned and thanked her for the compliment. From there, I returned to town and headed into downtown and my favorite haunt, Rittenhouse Square park, just like on Saturday, the park was filled to the brim with people enjoy the weather, I managed to wander through the park, ignored by just about everyone until I found an empty bench where I sat and proceeded to finish reading an e-book on my nook e-reader for well over an hour as people came and went, but no one gave me so much as the time of day as I sat and read. It was a great day to be freestyling in a crowded city park, something I plan to do more often as it's a great way to spend a pleasant afternoon. More to come.... 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
SkirtDude Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) What a fantastic pair of shoes! I have the same issues with my big toe, that the nail expands, I think it is because I wear thick tights and shoes which don't let my feet breathe. My chiropodist said it's similar to athletes foot, last time I had a pedicure they gave me a towel to cover my knees and mini skirt to cover my modesty which I thought was sweet. The top and necklace is cute as well. Skirt linings are nice, in summer I forego the slip as most of my pencil skirts aside from the Denims are lined. I saw this at the shops and thought you would look great in either printed skirt Looking forward to your next jaunt Edited May 30, 2016 by heelsrus2000

JeffB Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 Jaunt #316, 6/11/2016: Just a short outing of sorts because of the threat of early to mid-afternoon severe thunderstorms, but I still went out, even though it was sticky and steamy, garbed in a sea green top with lace trimmed sleeves, a black denim pencil skirt, the Payless "Sinclair" platform wedge sandals in black and a black handbag. Regarding the sandals, I had previously worn a pair in navy and liked them so much, I got them in black/ Yeah, I think it's safe to say I'm pretty much crazy for sandals, I've really come to love wearing them, and, at this time of year, I can't imagine wearing any other shoe. So, perhaps I'll indulge in an experiment where I'll wear nothing but my slides and sandals throughout the spring and summer. My first stop was to the main branch of the Post Office to buy a money order, the line there was a tad longer than usual, but I didn't mind waiting, other than an elderly Asian woman, no one gave me so much as the time of day. After making my purchase, filling it out and dropping it off, I got back in my car and headed into the greater northeast and Parx Casino to spend a few sheckels on the one-arm bandits. However, before that, I had lunch as it would be foolish to gamble on an empty stomach, then I went about fooling around on the slot machines. Despite the brightly colored top, snug skirt and heeled sandals, I was ignored as everyone was busy pulling those slot machine handles to pay me any attention, as has always been the case when I've gone there. As I've said before, casinos/slot parlors are a great place to go heeling because no one cares what you wear. As for my battles on the slot machines, well, it was nothing to write home about as I spent a good couple of hours there, but only managed to leave with around $70 bucks or so. But, hey, I go there to have fun, and that's good enough for me. The traffic back home was miserable because of road construction jamming things up, but what really annoyed me was that those afternoon thunderstorms never materialized, meaning I could've stayed out longer. Oh, well, them's the breaks, still, I did enjoy my outing, and that's the important thing. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Looking good JeffB! The belt matching the sandals ties it all together. The watch is a nice touch. And as for going out in a thunderstorm... we wouldn't want you to melt now would we? The casino does sound like a great heeling place and coming out with $70 isn't bad (considering that you went in with $100). 1 I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Well, actually, I went in with $60 bucks, so it wasn't too terribly bad an outcome. Jaunt #317, 6/12/2016: Sometimes when Sunday rolls around and I go on an outing, I love to dress up and look sharp, then there are other times when I prefer to be perfectly casual. Today was a sterling example of the latter as I wandered out to Springfield to goof around in a red t-shirt, a 19 inch button down denim A-line skirt, a recent acquisition from Payless, the "Stacey" sandal in black with 1 1/2 inch wedge heels and a black handbag. The skirt, which came from a store called Primark was light and airy and it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all, and with the weather being very warm again, I was delightfully cool and comfortable in it. As for the sandals, I liked the styling when I saw them on the website, also, I was looking for a pair of low heeled sandals for casual outings, I found the Stacey shoes comfortable and they matched well with the skirt. Wearing sandals has become my passion and I want to experience both high heels and low. My first stop on what was mostly a brief outing was to Acme to buy a couple of odds and ends, the store was plenty crowded as it was just after twelve noon, but no one paid me much attention as I did my shopping. From there, it was time for lunch and I traveled barely a block to Arby's where I had a Beef & Cheddar sammich with a bottle of water. Tasty! My next stop was to my home away from home, Best Buy where I chatted with a salesperson about the latest evolution in high definition TV and the fact it was a tad pricey, but hey, it costs nothing to look, and I so do love gazing at gadgets and gizmos, that too is a passion. After checking out with a goofy sounding horror flick called Navy SEALS vs. Zombies (boy, I can't wait to watch that), I headed down the road to Office Depot, my last stop of the day to buy a ream of paper for my printer at home. As was always the case, I felt perfectly at home in my attire, in fact, it felt darn good to go casual for a change, and those new flat sandals I bought were a treat to wear. All things considered, I guess this means I'll have to indulge in more casual Sunday outings which, in their own way, were plenty fun. More to come.... 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Jaunt #318, 6/19/2016: Originally, I was going to dress up for today's outing and go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but then, laziness set in and I decided to opt for a more casual outfit for a casual outing, going with a black tank top with a 17 inch gray denim skirt with a "distressed" (fringed) hemline, the Payless "Stacey" sandals and a black handbag. The skirt, which I bought from Primark at the King of Prussia Mall on Saturday intrigued me considerably when I saw it, having seen young women and girls wear variations of fringed skirts, I decided to give one a try because I thought it would look good on me, sure enough, it did, especially with the black top I paired it with. And while I could've opted for wearing heels, that outfit screamed to be worn with my (relatively) flat sandals. Even though it was sunny and rather hot, I felt perfectly cool and and comfortable, the skirt was so light, it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all, and the (relatively) flat sandals complimented the outfit well, in fact, it felt pretty darn good NOT to be wearing heels. I only made two stops, the first was to Starbucks in the University City area where I spent an hour sipping on a tall iced tea while reading an e-book on my nook e-reader. My second stop was to what's become a regular haunt, Rittenhouse Square Park, as usual for a Sunday afternoon, the park was packed with people as I casually strolled the area looking for a bench to sit at and read some more, once I did, I sat and stayed there for nearly an hour and a half, and the only person who gave me an odd look was a homeless man, but then, he wore a heavy jacket, wool hat, sweatpants and combat boots, so perhaps he looked odder than me. If I took anything away from this outing, it was that (relatively) flat shoes like I wore certainly do have a place in my wardrobe. I won't deny that I'm hooked on sandals of all heel heights and plan to wear them more over the course of the summer. One other item of note: nothing beats wearing a short skirt on a really hot day to keep you cool, I plan to do that more often too. More to come.... 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
