JeffB Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 For those of you who like to make resolutions when the new year rolls around, do you have any that involve heeling and/or freestyling? I have four of note: ---wear more five inch heels ---wear shorter skirts ---wear more dresses ---find new places to wear heels Your turn? Let's have some fun with this topic! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
ilikekicks Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 For me.. it starts tonight. Playing a New Years gig! Im going to have ONE day a month I will call ' shock ' day. Its the day where I will actually go out just to draw reactions instead of just fitting in like I always do. Loud clanky metal heel tips. Maybe some tight clothing. Maybe even have some different colors done into my hair.. I dunno yet, its a topic Im sort of discussing with the better half right now as Im getting back to being 100% ' healthy ' REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
yozz Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Congratulations with your improved health! You are going to have a lot of fun coming up with something new and shocking each month. Y. Raise your voice. Put on some heels.

Heelster Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Just getting out more, and maybe a little bit more noticeable.

May have to give that "shock day" idea a thought myself! Happy New Year!
davemcwish Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 For me it's 1. Wear more heels. I have a smallish collection but it's been difficult to get enough motivation to wear them in public along with skirts/leggings etc I do have a couple of pairs that I just got that I think are relatively work safe looking like male shoes from the front and block heels. 2. Get a pair of knee length boots. I'd like something a bit different and with a heel. May be something like:- http://newrockdirect.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/img_articulos/M.TR004-S1_2.jpg 3. As with JeffB I'd like to wear more skirts in public. Although I have a couple of dresses (from Long Tall Sally) I'm not sure about wearing them in public even though I think they look OK. I think the problem this year has been a combination of (lack of) confidence and embarrasesment. Maybe Ijust need to get on with things and just do what I feel like.
Foxyheels Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I will continue to dress as I feel fit, I will not be herded into the flock of sheep and their unimaginative fashion and definitely buy more outrageously colourful waistcoats to go with my bling and heels. Oh and I must post more pictures of me and MrsF out and about to show how easy it is to go public without fear of hassle. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours.
FreshinHeels Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) I honestly don't know where this year could be going. Skirts or even more? I'll just have to wait(or not) and see what happens.

Shafted Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I really don't make resolutions but I'm real interested in leg warmers for a practical reason as well as fashion. I'm thinking ankle boost and skinny jeans with legwarmers. Shafted, the boots that is!

HappyinHeels Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I think I share JeffB's ideas except I'll wear more 6" heels. I'll get to new places and I resolve THIS year to visit a store I've been to before, could be an Avenue, or DressBarn, or even a shoe store wearing capri pants with 5-6" wedge heels and expertly-polished toes. Who nows I might even wear an anklet and a toe ring too! It's an art form in progress. HappyinHeels
SleekHeels Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I really don't make resolutions but I'm real interested in leg warmers for a practical reason as well as fashion. I'm thinking ankle boost and skinny jeans with legwarmers. Leg warmers? They still make those things? I don't think I've seen legwarmers with stilettos since the 80's. These days I see legwarmers usually worn with leggings and (flat-heeled) ankle or mid-calf boots and I quite like that look. Shafted, I guess that'd work with some heeled ankle boots too. I have 3 pairs of legwarmers (black, brown and red-wine coloured) that I usually under bootcut trousers (over tights) purely to keep warm. As for resolutions, I think mine would be to rediscover some of the older shoes in my collection and incorporate those into my outfits. If you like it, wear it.
JeffB Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 Oh, yeah! I'm surprised, shocked even that I didn't add this particular resolution to my list: Wear my thigh high boots more! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Heelster Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Leg warmers? They still make those things? Yep - - saw some at a retail boutique just the other day although from the looks of the display, I'd venture to say they were not for the general public, but more aimed at the professionals in stiletto's - - if you know what I mean
fatfuzz Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I really don't make resolutions but I'm real interested in leg warmers for a practical reason as well as fashion. I'm thinking ankle boost and skinny jeans with legwarmers. I have worn leg warmers for years to, um, keep my legs warm! I ride a bicycle alot and in winter they work wonders under a pair of trousers at keeping your legs warm and the great thing is that when you get inside you push them down or they are really easy to get off. Saves having to wear big, heavy long socks. And I love the skinny jeans/legwarmers thing too. Just need some skinny jeans - already got leggings... And I don't really make NY resolutions. I just decide I need to do more or less of something when ever I feel I need to do it!
