JeffB Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 Been a tad lazy of late, and unless I'm 100% devoted to a jaunt, then I don't bother. Perhaps this coming weekend. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
bluejay Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Lazy JeffB. Not me. Tonight I went out wearing my new red skort, white polo shirt, Aerosoles, white wedge heels slides, with of course a "WHITE" cross body bag. I had a nice time out on a warm summer evening and the cooling effect of wearing the skort, was fantastic! Happy Heeling, bluejay 1
SF Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Mr. Bluejay..... Aerosoles, love 'em. What was the Aerosoles style sandal that you were wearing? I have been looking at the Aerosoles "Yetterday," a cool looking wedgie heel with an ankle strap. Have fun.... sf 1 "Why should girls have all the fun!!"

Curt Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Jeff, you look totally natural in these pics. I actually cant see any difference in gender in terms of clothes. This is probably what wearing clothes centuries ago was like. For someone life me who really likes fashion, this is really something special. You're doing something the top designers are pushing in the major design houses. If I passed you on the street, I would have to look twice, because your boots are just so amazing.
Curt Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I meant the pic of you next to the silver car, so we don't get confused.

JeffB Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 Jaunt #324, 7/30/2016: Hard to believe it's been a day under three weeks since my last outing. Well, that's what happens when the seemingly endless heat wave we've suffered from made me too lazy and sluggish to want to do any jaunting. However, the weather today was not quite so miserably muggy, so, with a forecast of afternoon thunderstorms lurking, I headed out on an outing in a blue shirt with the lace front, my 17 inch gray skirt with the distressed hem, the Payless "Stacey" low heeled wedge sandals and a black handbag. Because of the warm temperatures, the short skirt was an absolute treat to wear as it kept me cool and comfortable, and it's plenty stylish too, meanwhile, my fondness for wearing flat (or, in today's case, nearly flat) sandals continues. I have to say I've had a lot of fun wearing these shoes, I haven't worn heels higher than an inch and a half (the height of the Stacey sandals) since early June, and, for the present, I'm perfectly content to continue wearing my sandals. My first stop was center city and my friendly neighborhood comic book shop, not just for picking up the week's newest books, but to talk sports, mainly the Eagles with the staff, always a good time for me. Then it was off to Rittenhouse Square and Barnes & Noble where I spent a good twenty or so minutes before leaving with the newest issue of Sports Illustrated before retreating to the park read my magazine, as usual for a late Saturday morning in the middle of summer, the place was pack, but, as usual, no one paid me a moment's attention, a half hour later, I went to McDonald's for lunch, got a couple of glances there, but it was no big deal. My last stop of the day was up the road to Radio Shack where I bought a new pair of headphones to use with my computer so I don't disturb the neighbors when I'm listening to Internet radio at four in the morning. While my outing was short as I was leery about being caught in a storm, it was still enjoyable, the fun of being able to come and go as I pleased, dressed the way I please is extremely liberating. 2 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Great look JeffB, as you said quite casual and comfy and well thought out with the blue bracelet and necklace. The ladies watch is always a nice touch. You really should visit Zenni Optical and get a pair of more feminine frames for your glasses. 1 hour ago, JeffB said: While my outing was short as I was leery about being caught in a storm Certanly a consideration... we wouldn't wanting out JeffB to melt. 1 hour ago, JeffB said: the fun of being able to come and go as I pleased, dressed the way I please is extremely liberating. Ain't it though. I went to hear a friend of mine play at a restaurant last night, where I had dinner and stayed for two hours. It was a casual affair and I wore a black knit top, denim leggings and black suede OTK boots with 4" stilettos. My friend knows I wear boots but not skirts and dresses and that limited what I wore. Not only did I have the best looking heels in the restaurant, they were the only pair of heels. Nobody even batted an eye and it was liberating. 2 I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
SkirtDude Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Lovely skirt, Jeff! Great ensemble as always! My frayed skirt snd 5 series will not further hijack your thread I was paying a visit to my friend and felt a little self conscious of my skirt as the slit at the back was quite revealing and I was wearing stockings not tights, and felt a little exposed... Looking forward to your next jaunt Edited July 31, 2016 by heelsrus2000 1
JeffB Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 TBG: Thanks for the kind words. I keep saying I'm going to invest in more jewelry but haven't gotten around to that yet, but I will. Ditto on the glasses, that's also a good idea. Meanwhile, it's one thing to get rained on which I don't like, but quite another to get rained on when it's muggy as sin. YUCK! I'm glad you enjoyed your restaurant outing, sounds like you had fun. heelsrus2000: No reason to feel self-conscious unless you have a reason to feel that way. Always dress appropriately for your surroundings and have fun. 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Tonight I went our wearing my white mini skirt, with a raspberry colored polo shirt, my new Michael Kors, "Damita" wedge heel, front zip sandals, 4-1/2" heels and a 1" platform, in a raspberry color. I also carried a Vera Bradley, matching cross body bag, in the raspberry color, that matched my shoes and shirt perfectly. Got a few compliments on my outing, tonight. I like to wear lots of jewelry. Necklace, matching bracelet and matching anklet, with several finger rings. Adds a lot of pizsass to an ensemble, IMO. I don't have to wear glasses yet, but I do have women's sun glasses that, I wear out in the bright sunlight. Happy Heeling, bluejay 1

Sounds like you struck quite the colorful appearance. Even better that you got compliments as well. Good for you! As for jewelry, I need to invest in more than I currently have, however, I do have women's sunglasses that I enjoy wearing. Jaunt #325, 8/6/2016: Seeing that I hadn't worn a proper pair of heels since early June, and since I'm still on my current sandal fetish, I satisfied both urges by wearing my newest acquisitions, the Payless "Summer" sandals in white with a four inch, espadrille styled wedge heel. Cute, stylish and comfortable, I paired them with a brown, v-neck t-shirt, a tan pencil skirt and a white handbag to match with the shoes. Once again, the advantage of wearing a light, airy skirt on a sunny and hot day couldn't have been more plain as it kept me nice and cool during my outing, my first stop was to the man branch of the Post Office to buy a money order, after a ten minute wait in line, I made my purchase, filled it out and mailed it off, then I headed off into South Jersey for the first time in a few weeks, as it was close to lunch, I headed to Boston Market where I enjoyed their pulled BBQ chicken carver sandwich with a bottle of water. Mighty tasty if I do say so myself. From there, I headed to the nearby multiplex at Moorestown Mall, arriving just in time to catch a showing of the latest superhero movie, or rather, in this case, super villain movie, Suicide Squad. I had to wait in line over five minutes and I did get a few stares here and there from both passerby and people waiting in line for tickets, but, nothing more than stares, as for the movie itself, I went in with low expectations, still, it was pretty decent, Jared Leto's performance as the Joker was spot on I thought. The lobby of the multiplex was crowded to the max when I left the theater, so I got some more stares, still, that sort of this was to be expected and, for the most part, I'm used to the looks, to some, the sight of a man in women's clothing is considered odd, I get that. My last stop of the day was to the nearby Best Buy, but I didn't buy any movies, rather, I purchased a battery charger and rechargeable AA batteries for my remotes. After nearly two months, it certainly felt good to be wearing true heels again, and my passion for sandals remains strong as summer continues. More to come.... I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Thighbootguy Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) It seem that I have to keep repeating myself but... Great outfit JeffB! You really do have a great eye for putting an outfit together. The brown belt really makes the combination work. 1 hour ago, JeffB said: I got some more stares, still, that sort of this was to be expected and, for the most part, I'm used to the looks, to some, the sight of a man in women's clothing is considered odd, I get that. Could it have been that you were the best dressed person in the the area that got the attention? Being a guy dressed as a gal probably had something to do with the attention, but I'll bet that wasn't the only factor. I don't remember if you wear your glasses out and about but a different style frame would complement the image you present. It looks like the prices at Zenni Optical have increases by $10 across the board but they are still inexpensive. Here is my suggestion: Glasses.

bluejay Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 JeffB, That's a lot of figures to keep track of. I wouldn't have time to put that all together. I don't keep any type of records on what I wear out. I just know that I like to wear heels, and other women's things, much better than wearing dull and boring men's clothing and footwear. That's why we are here at HHP. BTW, I like your latest ensemble that you wore this weekend. Happy Heeling, bluejay 1
JeffB Posted August 10, 2016 Author Posted August 10, 2016 bluejay: What can I say? I'm a nut for numbers, that came from my years in the Navy where my job required me to inventory stuff and do lots of counting, so numbers were important to me, and remain so today. Besides, this is fun for me! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
bluejay Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks for your service. Being a fellow Navy Veteran myself, I appreciate what you have done for our country. Happy Heeling, bluejay 1
