JeffB Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 On Saturday, I was at the mall, garbed in a light navy jacket over a black polo shirt, my long jeans and Payless "Maya" ankle boots which I've discussed before. Just like on the previous occasions there, no one paid me a lick of attention, but hey, that's no big deal to me anymore. However, I spent a fair amount of time casually observing what the women were wearing, and I'd say that a good eighty to ninety percent of them were dressed like I was: long jeans (Stonewash, classic denim, black) and boots (low heels, high heels, broad heels, skinny heels, black, brown, tan, even red) of all kinds. I found it refreshing that with the changing of the season, those horrid Chinese slippers and flip-flops have been put put away in favor of a look I particularly enjoy. That made my trip to the mall all the more enjoyable! 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...
Shafted Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 A temperate climate is sure a godsend where those awful flip-flops are concerned. As far as the way the women are dressing at the mall you were at, isn't it amusing that look, looks good on men as well as women? Shafted, the boots that is!

JeffB Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 As far as the way the women are dressing at the mall you were at, isn't it amusing that look, looks good on men as well as women? I would agree! Especially when it comes to tight jeans with sleek, unbaggy styling, topped off with a cunning pair of black heeled boots. Women were sporting that look everywhere. Made for lots of pleasant ogling! Not a lot of men were quite as stylish, and, as far as I know, I was the only guy there in heels! HA! 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...

Dr. Shoe Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Don't blame the sheep. Some of the sexiest boots I've ever seen were made from their skin.

BobHH Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I think UGG boots are nice looking - not sexy but comfortable and warm, instead. Sort of rugged outdoor cold weather wear. Don't Eskimos have something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscotty727 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Could be alot worse. What my wife wears in the summer (various styles/colors) What my wife wears in the winter (similiar but with a higher platform) Perhaps we have our roles reversed Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris100575 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 UGG boots are hideous and the fluffy ones are no better. There are many women's shoes that I dislike, but I think UGGs are at the top of the pile. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 New observations from Friday and Saturday at two different malls. Lots of girls and women wearing long jeans and heels on Friday which I liked, but I also saw a few pairs of the dreaded Ugg boots, pink ones too. URGH! The weather on Saturday was unseasonably warm for November with temps in the upper 60's, so the even more dreaded flip-flops made a comeback. Double URGH! I guess those horrid things won't go away until there's snow on the ground! :x I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Shafted Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Maybe we need to ask them if they live in an igloo, if not why are you wearing those? Shafted, the boots that is!

sscotty727 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Just got back from shopping in target. I saw SEVERAL women there in long jeans and those ugly chinese slippers. There was one asian women though in 3" cowboy boots. That was about the highest heel I saw on anyone there. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, excuse me. Sorry if my posts and where I went shopping 'bored' you. Not everyone got out to the mall recently. Had been sick all week and it was my first trip out to pick up some meds. I will keep my 'boring' shopping sprees to myself next time. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetango Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I don't think JeffB was putting anyone down for shopping at Target. As a mass merchant Target takes a cautious appoach to fashion trends. Nonetheless, I have found some deals in shoes there. I also shop their web site frequently. Recently bought a nice pair of heels from there. They were listed on the site in advance of the arrival of the shipment. I had to wait a month for the shoes to arrive. Within a few weeks, the shoe was completely sold out. No longer listed on the web site and not in the stores. Seems like if you want to catch a good deal at Target you have to shop frequently. They appear to buy in small lots to test the waters. Maybe the "Dinah" heels I bought will come back after they can order more? Bluetango Bluetango So many shoes and only two feet.

micha Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Indeed, the worst scenario for winter boots fashion are these ugly UGG's! The best fashion is your own fashion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 You got that right, Micha. But Mickey would vehimently disagree with us all as she has a pair and says they are nice and warm. When she has them on with jeans, it looks like the feet of the Abominable Snowman from the waist down sticking out from under her jeans. They are long white fur from Victoria's Secret and she thinks they are cute and very feminine. (He whispers---don't tell her, but I still think they are UG-GL-L-L-Y!!! SH-H-H-H-H)!!!

I mentioned I happened to be shopping in Target, I wasn't shopping for shoes there. Matter of fact, they don't carry my size, 11. The comment was I wasn't going to see women wearing nice heels in Target. I wasn't commenting on seeing nice heels there, I was mentioning women wearing ugly chinese slippers with jeans in November. It just so happened I was in Target. As I said, it was my first time out this week because I have been sick with the flu. Again, sorry I don't get out to "stylish" places and wear "boring" shoes. I guess not all of us can be "interesting". Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like both but how can I claim tolerance for me if I'm incapable to show tolerance myself? nice greetings micha The best fashion is your own fashion!
