Shafted Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 You're going about buying heels all wrong. If you like the Shoe then you should buy them, and build the outfit around them. If that means going out and buying a whole new outfit just to match your shoes, then what better excuse to go shopping?! I think I'll stick to my method, thank you. Keeps me from going over the top. Shafted, the boots that is!

JeffB Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Funny, while I've spent considerable $ on new blazers (linen blue, cotton pink, white), new tops (color blocked stripe/solid) and new pants (rust orange/intense blue/wide leg denim) and even had a pair of brown wedge oxfords dyed black by my local cobbler, I haven't purchased a single pair of heels in well over a year. I'm more about the total look first, then the heel; as opposed to the heel first, then the total look. It gives shoe interchangeability value to money invested in my wardrobe. This frees me up to wear the same outfit across a wide variety of different contexts with or without heels. Sounds like a terrific strategy! One I wholeheartedly agree with! I'm also of the belief that it's all about a total outfit for my little adventures, not just the shoes. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

benno Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I freestyle all the time. Just not always in heels. I'm lucky that I'm small for a guy. I have size 7UK feet and am probably a UK size 10 in female clothes. Many of my favourite tops and trousers are unisex or womens. I even have women's knickers that I wear as if it was completely normal... I'm not talking about frothy lacey french maid numbers, more simple lycra or cotton stuff. I just wear things that I like and are not going to get me beaten up or arrested. Make people think and want to talk to you rather than pull their kids away or laugh.
