RonC Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Nice look. I enjoy denim skirts with dress heels, and those definitely qualify. Love the bows!

jeremy1986 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Lovely heels @Bootslover29, am sure they feel great with the hose

And clock heels are on trend too ! Knee high hosiery - stockings are uncomfortable under pants? I reckon go bare feet too - would look great as well. 1

Pierre1961 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 My normal size is EU 43. I took 44 and it fits perfectly. But i prefer yours as mines look à bit too large. And I also prefer your jacket,shorter than mine. And your jean also. Mine is too long. In my eyes you are the winner 1
swedeheeler Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Thank you Pierre. Looks like I have to shove them on with bigger socks and more stretching spray to get them even better. It helped a lot yesterday
Pierre1961 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Big socks work but can be painful. Maybe thin ones first. I use to wet the inside of the shoes with warm water. It works perfectly. But with Suede leather I wonder. If the water goes through,then some marks could appear. So? time will do its job.

Bootslover29 Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks for the coments! I'm used to wear stockings because I often change my outfit during the day. I drive a lot and is more comfortable in skirt. Variation with the same trousers and heels Or with a skirt and oxford 5

I don’t yet know if I would hire you. I’m an engineer (now retired) so I would investigate your education, experience, and learned/retained technical skills. I’d also investigate your willingness and propensity to work collaboratively. As to attire - is it clean and well-fitting, and at least somewhat coordinated (yours looks like it is.) That is all!

Logjam Well as a answer to that I'd say that I work as a contractor, stupid 'nuff to understand how things work as my occupation demands me to know electricity, piping, thermodynamics and mechanics. And not forgotten. Thank @pebblesf, @bambam and @CAT for the comments Edited April 11, 2019 by swedeheeler 1

six5luvheels Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 So I am trying a few new looks. Here is the elana pant with 37 inseam from Alloy. A Lululemon long sleeve jacket over a Nike dry fit top. What do you think. Pleaser Spectator platform booties 5 inch heel. Outfit is very comfy Another with a skirt instead of pants 2
six5luvheels Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 In the pant outfit I went out to see the response. First stop a convenience store to fill my water jug, and top of the tank. As always , a little apprehensive on leaving my vehicle. The elana flair pants are more noticeable than the 5 inch booties they cover. At a little before noon there were several people inside but I didn’t even notice a single judgmental glance. Across the street was a Goodwill store I hadn’t been into for a while. Not to much traffic in the strip mall. I parked far enough away from the store to need to stroll in front of several shops. As I gazed at my reflection in the shop windows, I really felt comfortable in my appearance. I looked good! With that big boost of confidence I entered Goodwill where the clerk greeted me with a pleasant “good morning”. I replied in kind, and headed to the skirt section, where I found four just above the need black skirts to try on. Pressed the button to get someone to open a try on booth for me, and the gentleman came with the key and did so. A nice Kaspar brand lined pencil skirt fit and looked good. $6.75 for a $69 skirt. Not bad. Got a “Thank you” from the same clerk and I was off to the Mall Of Georgia. I like Dillard’s as they have a selection of “talls” in men and women’s section. I was seeking a fitted top there that might compliment the pants I was wearing, but could not find something. Unusually, a clerk did not approach to help me, though they were fairly busy. On my way out into the mall to one of my favorite stores, Buckle, I got one or two up and down glances, probably because of my tall stature (I’m over 6’8” in these heels.) and perhaps the unusual trousers. The trousers are very light weight so each step forward exposes the shoe and the heel if you were looking. No worries and no comments. Into Buckle I really like their service. I walk directly to the women’s side, and explain that I had purchased a nice long pair of 37” inseam Payton boot cut jeans a few months ago. And would be interested in a light wash for summer. I also mentioned I might like to try a shorter length ankle jean. Asked for my waist size I say say I find sizes all over the place for women’s jeans. I’m 34 male, and the Payton’s I had purchased were 31’s so she picks out a couple of jeans an takes me the closest “woman’s” side changing room. Perfect! I tried on many (over ten) pair of jeans, no 37’s XXTl in my size. I showed here my heels, explaining, as I wear them often, the long length was to better cover the shoes. She said “ good for you, I just had to take my wedges off, they were wearing me out.” She brought some “destroyed” crop jeans and and various “skinny” and “straight” fit types. I decided the best was a Payton Skinny 30W, Regular 32 length in a light wash. I tried them on with the heals, and the look wasn’t too bad. Another female attendent agreed but perhaps some white pumps would be better. Or even, the other attendent added, “red pumps would pop on those jeans. “. I asked what king of top? She said with red pumps, you would like use a red or black top. A loose T for a casual look and a fitted T for dressing it up. Great to have accommodating assistance. Buckle is great! I’m sure I could go to Old Navy and get similar pair of jeans for less than half the $69 these were - but the experience was well worth it. 3

Cali Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 I love Express and have a rewards account with them. I have many tops from them that I frequently wear from Fall to Spring. Bought my first in store and since I know their sizes I have been mostly buying on-line with discounts. Since you seem to shop Express often @CAT , my question to you is how are Express shoes? I haven't been in an Express store when they had a size 10 in in a style I liked and I am afraid of ordering them on-line. 1
