JeffB Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 I can see that pair of shoes on the feet of a pretty young woman dressed in a short leapord print skirt, matchng blouse with the tails tied in a knot in the front and a leapord print scarf tied around the top of her head -- ala 1948 pin-up pictures. What I can't invision is seeing them worn by a street heeling man. :rofl: I couldn't agree with you more, Bubba! There are certain shoe styles we just can't get away with wearing, and that leopard print wedge is damn sure one of them! Still, they are nice to look at! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Like you guys...I just can't picture any male street-heeling in that particular pair of shoes. Now, if they were in black...maybe some guys would try them out in public. Who knows? One thing for sure, you won't find me wearing them under long jeans anytime soon, and JeffB won't be wearing them to the office either. You can bank on that.

Bubba136 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 yes, black leapord print, open toed wedge heeled ankle strap pumps. Then someone noticing them would ask if the guy was wearing a pair of skunks on his feet. :rofl: Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Bubba136 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 JeffB! Funny you should mention wearing a skirt to work. While I don't know what your ultimate thoughts about appearing in public dressed completely in all female attire are, it has been in the back of my mind that at some point over this coming winter, you will appear at your workplace tastefully dressed in a skirt and blouse appropriate to the fashion. Now, based on my knowledge of your incrementally "expanding" the horizons by wearing women’s shoes – from low heeled pumps to your current very pleasing, very fashionable, 5” heels by taking “tiny baby steps” in order to acclimate your co-workers to your ever changing appearance from the beginning, and their seeming to have accepted your wearing them, I shouldn’t think that you appearing in a skirt would be all that “shocking” surprise. Especially, if you lay the foundation by gently mentioning at different times, the idea of appearing at work in a skirt. A little “pre-judging,” if you will, of your co-workers reaction upon which to base your decision. While I don’t take this as a certainty, I firmly believe that if anyone can “carry it off,” it would be you because of your honesty, good personality and tasteful and natural appearance. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 WOW Bubba! That sure was a mouthful. Let's hope that if JeffB decides to wear a skirt to work that he will supply us all with copious amounts of pics. And knowing him as I do, I have no doubt that his whole outfit would be perfectly co-ordinated from top to bottom. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

crotchhiboots Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 As for wearing a dress or skirt to work Jeff has the leggs for it and I think that he should not dismiss this thought . It has a lot of merit. (OHT -O I Think that DawnHH is rubbing off on me) HAHA. 77r90dL lf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hmm! A most fascinating thesis, Bubba! I certainly took a lot out of what you said. While I was purely joking in my previous post, I will admit for the very first time that I have thought about wearing a skirt to the office. I would have to seriously consider all the ramifications of such an action before I go through with something so incredibly bold and daring. And I can't help thinking that some of those ramifications might not be wholly pleasant. Shoes are one thing, a skirt is something else entirely. Even if some of my co-workers privately wonder if I'm a crossdresser, or even if I'm gay, to show up in a skirt would be quite a mind blowing shock to everyone. The only certainty is that it won't happen right away, it will take time to think over every possibility, good and bad, but, eventually, it might just happen. I have a feeling that one day down the road, I don't know when, I'll just say "F@#$ it!" one morning and show up at the office in a skirt and take my chances. All I can say for now is....we'll see. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Jeff, since you are employed in a civil service position where the hiring creed speaks of equal opportunity and something akin to "religious, ethnic, or sexual orientation, there's always a possibility your supervisors and co-workers wouldn't say a word because they would be so intimidated with the possibility of sexual discrimination or harassment suit they might be forced into non-reaction. The main inhibitor would be your comfortality (is that a word) -- i.e. how comfortable you would be -- in appearing at work dressed like that. I also believe you would also have to be comfortable circulating through the public areas of your office building, i.e. cafeteria, lobby, etc. But, like I said -- if anyone can pull it off, you could. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Haven't seen much in the way of wild looking shoes on eBay in a while, but I guess these would qualify: These babies are most definitely eyecatching!

Dawn HH Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 JeffB:-) To some, they may be wild, and to some they may not be wild. That is in the eye of the beholder, just as beauty is.

JeffB Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Well, I guess those sandals were wild to me since I had never seen anything quite like those before.

flavio Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Jeff, they are quite unusuall but I do like the look of them.

JeffB Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Now, I don't know if anyone out there has ever seen boots like these before: These boots, up for auction on eBay are made by Gianmarco Lorenzi from Italy, and the going price for them is: $950.00!! So, if you're a size 40 (Euro) and have nearly a grand to burn, here's something for you! For the rest of us however, THAT is pretty wild!

Shafted Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 A little bit out of my price range Jeff. I can't see me wearing them either. Shafted, the boots that is!

Dawn HH Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 JeffB:-) I have never seen that style of boot before. I would say that they ARE wild, and not only the boots themselves. That price is also wild. Certainly not in my league. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shafted Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I like them Jeff. Would it really be that big a leap for you wear those at the office?

ShockQueen Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Actually, JeffB....with the right outfit, I bet you could pull even those off with no problem. You have excellent taste and style, and no doubt, someone would really either compliment you on your taste, or get incredibly jealous that they didn't buy them first.

bluetango Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 JeffB, I'm partial to snakeskin, so I like the shoes. However, they may raise a few eyebrows in public. I am a newbie public heeler and I stick to chunky heels. Of course, after a month or two of experience with these, I think I'll be moving to more slender heel styles.
