Heelfest 98 Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Hi everyone, I have been looking at this forum for ages so I thought it's about time I joined as it looks like my kind of place. I wear heels every day at work and out & about. For day time I prefer 2-3" block heels but sometimes wear stilletoes to work, I like the amount of noise I can make on the wood floor we have! Sometimes I wear higher boots with a platform but as I'm quite tall I have to watch out for low doorways. I also have a problem with buying shoes & boots, I seem to accumlate them whenever I go shopping. I look forward to posting more in the future. Regards, David.
gary0618 Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Welcome Heelfest 98 ! ! Nice to have you here. What kind of job do you have may I ask? Wood floors. Watch those spike heels, you don' want to sink into the wood. I look forward to reading about your experiences. Gary0618 FLAT SHOES, LIKE FLAT DRINKS, ARE FOR FLAT PEOPLE
PJ Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Welcome new member. So you wear stilletos to work? Lucky you. Do your co-workers make comments? How about your boss? click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.
Dawn HH Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Heelfest98:-) Welcome to the HH Place Forum. you have come to the right place. Yeah! What about the comments from your co-workers and boss when you wear stilettos to work? Inquiring readers would like to know. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Heelfest 98 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Posted January 7, 2005 Hi all. Thanks for your interest. I work in a fashion shop in the UK, my co-workers (who are all female) all support my alternative fashions. This time of year as it's cold I tend to wear knee-high boots with a smart skirt & top. My boss has no problems with this and is always interested to see what I am wearing. The boots I wear mostly are 2 - 3" block heeled in black & 1 pair in brown croc. Sometimes I wear stilleto heeled boots of about the same height, but they are rather loud on the hard floor! Reactions have been nearly all positive by people I have met & I'm getting quite well-known for my skirt wearing around here now. I have been wearing heels & skirts to work for over a year now so I think most people have got used to it. You can see some pictures of my outfits here: http://albums.imff.net/david (Including my not-so-subtle leopard-print boots!)
stripperjonn Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 I agree with "Guest" above. Here's how I like to wear MY platforms: http://profiles.yahoo.com/stripperjonn

loveheel Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Heelfest, I think you look pretty cool in the skirts. I wouldn't worry too much about the negative comments
shyguy Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Although the whole skirts thing isn't my thing, I think most of your outfits look pretty good. As it looks like you are ok with your own image, I say all power to you, carry on enjoying the freedom you have given yourself to dress how you please. And it's great your work colleagues accept you too, good on them for being so open minded. Thanks for posting pics, and hope to see more of you at HHPlace.

xaphod Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Hi, Heelfest, If it's not to nosy, what job do you do which allows you to wear your chosen form of dress to work ? Nice look, BTW ..... something I'm trying for, but finding longer skirts can be a real pain. Personally, I have a rule which is 'nobody sees my knees !' Xa
Bubba136 Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 I don't think you look bad at all. What I see is a person dressed in simple skirts and tops that isn't dressing (gaudily) to make a "statement." While I believe different shoes -- shoes with a higher stiletto heel - would improve the overall look. That's just my opinion. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.

BobHH Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Thanks, I got the picture. Better build than me, but mine is desk work.
Heelfest 98 Posted January 8, 2005 Author Posted January 8, 2005 Well, certainly lots of feedback there for me!! Thanks for all your comments, the pictures in my album are just typical outfits I wear for work, please bear in mind I have to stand for about 8 hours at work so most of the shoes & boots I wear to work are based on comfort. I do also have a collection of higher heels that I wear at home or for going out including 3 pairs of thigh-length boots. I have some 5" patent black stilletto pumps that are a favourite of mine(just about see them on the Halloween pic), I also have 7" platform sandals and just got some 6.5" spike heels without platform but having trouble walking in them so far! I always used to wear heels under my trousers as I find it easier to walk on my toes and always have done since a child. The skirt wearing came about because I found them to be so much more comfortable than trousers. Whether or not it is a female garment has never been an issue with me, if I like something I will wear it regardless of which gender it was originally made for. It's great to find so many people with an interest in heels, I will try not to ramble on too much but when I sit down at the keyboard I just seem to type & type without stopping. Regards, David.
stripperjonn Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Yes, I do the same thing. Once I get started with a topic, sometimes I just ramble on.....and on....and on. This is a terrific site. It appears to have room for everyone's likes/dislikes. Very intelligent, down-to-earth, and sensible. Looking forward to getting to know all of you. I almost passed this site by. At first glance I thought it was mostly U.K./German/Euro populated. Then I noted a few east and west coast Yanks had infiltrated. Ha. Looking forward to getting to know all of you. Grinz, Strpr-]
Bubba136 Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Don't worry about rambling on, David. Just keep posting interesting comments and no one will pay any attention to how long they are. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
