Mr. X Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Another day, another outing. I went on a short outing today consisting of mostly window shopping. I had another univentful journey. In terms of my outfit. I wore my white pants which I don't wear very often. I find them hard to put together an outfit with. Plus, I feel really self conscience when I wear them. Almost like when I first started wearing heels. White pants seam to stick out like a sore thumb no matter what you pair them with. But I trekked on anyhow! Once I got home, I was going through pictures of my past outings and outfits. I realized I wore almost the exact outfit before. I guess if it aint broke, don't fix it! Well here it is with pics! Comments and suggestions always welcome! The outfit 1) black Aldo ankle boots 2) white pants 3) red t-shirt 4) black cropped motorcycle style jacket 5) black shoulder/camera bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafted Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Once again, nice outfit. The only real problem with white is it's way too easy to stain. Shafted, the boots that is!

SleekHeels Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Looking sharp Mr. X, the white jeans don't look at all out of place with the rest of that outfit. I think it's more to do with the environment that they'd fit in with, somewhere smart-casual and the look would blend in nicely - or at least choose to "stick out like a sore thumb" in a place where that might earn you a compliment ! If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejay Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Mr X, Looking good. On Sunday I wore off white dress pants with pink shirt , hot pink tie and matching pocket square in my royal blue blazer along with my Easy Spirit "Parnella " royal blue pumps. I got several compliments on the combination. Wear white if you like too. I am sure that the fashion police will not cite you for wearing white pants after Labor Day! Happy Heeling, bluejay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleekHeels Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The ruched detailing on the boots helps to blend with the ruched effect of the jeans. I never thought of that before but it's a useful fashion trick to keep in mind while we search for those elusive perfect-fitting super-skinny jeans. On top the red adds a nice splash of colour - I also like the coat and I think a longer one maybe down to mid-thigh would also work really well with that look. The heel on those boots is perfect for the look too, chunky but still tapered very elegantly. If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve63130 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Kneehighs, you're exactly right (as usual!). I've always thought that guys can wear thicker heels and platforms quite easily, and those boots are a perfect example. Good job, indeed, Mr. X.

Mr. X Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 You know what works about this look? It's sufficiently masculine (as is your pose) to distract from any sorty of attention you may get for being feminine. The thick heel, the platforms...it just looks "tough" and rugged. Good job. never would have pegged it as tough and rugged, but that makes sense. Thanks for the compliments! it means alot coming from a fellow heeler such as yourself.

Mr. X Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Time for another update to my travel pages. Hope everyopne had a good Christmas and New Years! I guess this my first travel of the New Year. I don't have internet at my place yet these days. Therefore, my internet access is limited. I have been regulated to using my laptop in various internet spots around town whenever possible. So in another Mr. X first. I am reporting on my travel during my travel! I took, and uploaded the pics before hand. I am out and about and everything is going off without a hitch. Most of my day was spent running errands and doing a little window shopping. I won't bore you with the details......lol. Now for ther outfit and some pics! My outfit came together rather easily. And I had a new womens black jacket I recently purchased. I was dying to try it out! Enjoy! Comments and suggestions always welcome. the outfit 1) green plaid shirt 2) black womens winterish jacket 3) light brown kneeish length aldo boots with chunky heel 4) Light brown purse/carry all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleekHeels Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think it's a great everyday casual look Mr. X. I definitely like it best with the coat open and that'd look good with the bag too. If I was experimenting with that outfit I'd try skinnier jeans to avoid the bunching at the knees, and maybe a less baggy coat. Overall I think the shirt/jeans/boots colour combination is great. If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shafted Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Sloppy, Shafted? I don't see that. I thought that was a nice, casual look. May be just me but the green plaid shirt is my biggest issue.

Jimnj3 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Lumberjack Song! Ha Ha. Still think it has that relaxed Saturday afternoon look! Although I no longer have any plaid shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 May be just me but the green plaid shirt is my biggest issue. With my coat done up you couldn't see the shirt anyhow. I could have worn anything under my coat really. The only eyes that saw my shirt was everyone here....lol Mr. X-thanks for taking the time not only to take the photo, but the effort to also upload them to the server here. Your pictures spark healthy constructive conversation about fashion and appearance, so thank you. Fashion as we know it, is site specific. An outfit that kicks butt on the Lower East Side might not be so well received on the Upper East Side. And an outfit that is received well for a board meeting might not be so appropriate for running errands. I don't know where you live, but I'm in agreement with the above posters that your outfit definitely classifies as a solid casual, which seems appropriate for the context of running errands. More specific than casual however, I'd say your look has a Seattle "Kurt Cobain" grunge reference to it. Now with regards to Seattle grunge and high fashion, at the SS13 shows this last September and October, grunge as a look was widely circulated. As you wore your shirt untucked and casual, so is the tied waist plaid in the Lim photo below equally casual and "sloppy". As your plaid (is it flannel?) print resurged with Kurt Cobain, so Kurt Cobain wigs were used on models at Theysken's Theory. Similarly, plaid as a PRINT was used on many looks at Dries's Paris Fashion Week show. You did a good job color coordinating. My only issue is the color palette you decided to coordinate with. This is really just a matter of personal preference though. Again, thanks for your pictures. Thanks and well said kneehighs. Your opinion is always valued. Interesting pics too!
