JeffB Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Sorry to have been so tardy, but life had kept me plenty busy of late. However, not so busy that I couldn't maintain my wearing heels at the office where I work. And on Thursday, I took what might be considered the final leap----I wore red shoes!!! To be more specific, red leather pumps with three plus inch heels which I matched with a red silk dress shirt, black dress pants and dark beige Calvin Klein hosiery. Needless to say, I amazed my co-workers, even though they were long used to my wearing women's shoes at the office, they were floored when I wore those red pumps! Everyone said my entire appearance, head to toe was sharp and stylish. One of my co-workers told me flat out that I wear the prettiest shoes in the entire office while another said I look handsome in heels! Talk about an ego boost! When I find an online pic of my shoes, I'll display them for all to see! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
WarrenB Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Now Jeff, do you really think anyone is going to say anything negative to your face? You're a BIG man, amongst other things. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, I'm from the Earth.Now wearing HH Penny Loafers full time.
JeffB Posted September 13, 2003 Author Posted September 13, 2003 HA! Well, I'm not THAT big, Warren, even though I'm around 6-6 in my highest heels! Hmm! Then again, perhaps I do intimidate people! :-) Anyhoo, I found a pic of those red pumps I wore, the Ros Hommerson "Ingra" model: I already have these pumps in black, and, needless to say, they're sleek, quite stylish and I felt absolutely GREAT in them! More importantly, I didn't feel the least bit self-conscious about walking around in bright red shoes. In fact, I felt proud to have worn them! It's what I choose to do, and no one can take that right away from me! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Alex Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 That's great stuff Jeff. However, none of the women in your office wear red heels to work? I wish I was a size 10
WarrenB Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 That's fantastic Jeff. More power to 'ya and keep on heeling. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, I'm from the Earth.Now wearing HH Penny Loafers full time.
JeffB Posted September 14, 2003 Author Posted September 14, 2003 To answer your question, Alex, I don't recall seeing any of the women at the office wear red shoes, save for flats or trainers. Perhaps I'm a trendsetter! :-) I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Yamyam Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 JeffB, I'd say you're a trendsetter! I wore my 2.5" Chelsea boots on-site for a couple of days, but I wouldn't dare do what you do! Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
