Heel-Lover,

Let me join the others in congratulating you on stepping out in such a bold manner. For me the idea of a 3 piece skirt suit is so nice, however the hemline is certainly a bit too north for me. The picture of Debbie from our Gallery wearing a pinstripe skirt shown below would look well on you, I think.

Your thread starting question, although you do wear the skirt well, I don't like what I see. The above waist view is too smooth when compared to the below waist view. The hem length is IMHO in the right place.

As for the shoes, yum yum, to all the shoes you have pictured in this thread and elsewhere. Even though I am a heel wearer and have done so now for 2 years on a daily basis wearing 2" - 4" heels, they are block heels at least 1" x 1" and worn with trousers from the ladies rack (nice cut and materials), or as I like to call them - left handed trousers.

Wearing a skirt, hose and heels as you do is something I for one would love to add to my daily wear especially in the warmer months, but whilst my SO just about accepts that I do heels (as long as they are in her opinion "Dike" thus masculine looking, and something she wouldn't consider wearing), she would loose it completely if I wore a skirt, stockings and court shoes (pumps) let alone stiletto heels. I have expressed a desire for a full Scottish dress tartan outfit for formal dinners we sometimes attend instead of the usual penguin suit we men all wear, but because I am not Scottish (except in surname) and I like and do wear high heeled footwear, she has a big reservation about the kilt thing - its a skirt that can only be worn by women or Scotsmen. Irrational or what!

I know she would be fine with it if it was out there and seen in the fashion press, but it isn't. I suppose this is one of my gripes in that fashion designers have tried to do skirts for men, but like all runway fashions, they are so way out, no one can really see themselves wearing it. Would a look like yours be put forth by a really big name, then finally, we may make progress in blurring the gender lines for clothing. However, I fear that such a big name designer would not go there for fear of ridicule - now why does that sound familiar.

Sorry to rant.

Please keep doing your thing and keep on posting your pics. How about showing us all something of your beautiful country from your travels. I am told it is amazing.

Cheers for now
