Last Thursday was one of those busy days. Had a meeting out in the city in the morning. Then I had to go to another meeting with one of my buiness partners and a client to ours.

Trying too look good. I was wearing my new light grey skirt suit with a straigh tight skirt, the hem ending about 3 inches above my knees. A pink shirt and black tie. Very light sun tanned coloured pantyhose and my pink 5 inch stilleto heels. Never going out without my handbag. This day I picked a pink one, a small one, matching my heels. Wearing a bit of matching make up and nail varnish to, matching my heels and my handbag.
Why should girl have all the fun? Its good we guys can have some fun too!

After giving my girlfreind a lift to hers office, she was dressed the same as me, hi hi. Its oh so very cool we two are dressed the same, except my girlfreind wore another coloure to hers outfit.

After dropping my girlfreind at hers office me drove straight to my office. Perhaps you want to know what car I have. Its a BMW Z3 (its called this in Sweden). Driving to my office looking down to my new heels. Yes they was matching my skirt suit, my shirt very well.
Guess I´m a bit vain, I was hoping my colleagues would see my new heels.

Had a quick visit to my office, saying "Good Morning" to all, picking up a few papers I needed for my meeting.
I know, yes I should have known. The guys seemed not to notice I was wearing my new skirt suit or my new heels. Its a bit sad isn´t it but that´s how most guys are. My secritary though did noticed my new outfit. We talk a little. She wanted to try my new heels. Ofcourse she could.
I guess you now understan why I think girl/women have more fun and its just GREAT feeling I´m one of them having fun.

Putting my heel back on again, taking my breifcase, out to my car. The meeting went fine. Then back to my office for the next meeting. Coming back I had just time going in to my office, checking my make up, picking up the things I needed for my next meeting.

The meeting went on. We desided having lunch so of we went to a restaurant.
Here is were my problem started. The resturant is a few blocks away from our office, say its a 10 minutes walk.
Walking in my 5 inch stilleto heels is ok. Problem was being out with two guys they walked fast, a bit to fast for me. I guess I had to take two or three steps while they took one and my short tight skirt didn´t make things easy. Nearly had to do a bit of running to keep up with the guys but oh no way I was going to ask them to slow down because of me. Instead I did the best I could trottering, running beside them.

Crossing one off the bigger streets in the city was an even bigger problem. We was in a hurry. The guys didn´t want standing waiting for the green light. They was planning running over the street. Well that´s easy for them but not for me. The first side, the first part of the street went ok for me but I felt a bit lost, a bit vaulnurable standing there in the middle of the street, waiting for to cross it.
Standing beside Michael (my buisness prtner), perhaps he saw I could need a bit of a hand because he told me I could hold on to his arm while crossing the street and you know I did. This was the only way for me to cross it in a bit safe way. I was glad he did. Yes I felt very lost out there.

Its me again, forgot one thing. What I was going to say is this.
Please guys, think just a little about your girlfreind/wife or if out walking with a lady freind or perhaps with me.
Please think about me. In my high heels, in my skirt I can´t walk at your pace. I woulden´t say anything like, "please slow down a little".
No way. We high heelers would never do a thing like this. Would we? I guess I am the same as the rest of the women. I would never ask a man to slow down for my sake.
The same on our way back to office. I had to half walking, half trottering, half running to keep up with the guys.

I was very happy to sit down at the table having the meeting. Having my leg, my feet under the table. Yes its good. Nobody could see I kicked my heels off for a few minutes ort so. Sitting resting in my nylons, then slipping my heels back on again.
I hope the guys didn´t see what I was doing. No I am sure they wasn´t.

What an amazing post.

I have not mixed high heels/skirts with work. I have worn block heeled boots under my slacks but that’s as far as I’m comfortable pushing the envelope at work.

In your first post you said you were running a consulting business with two partners. Your style must not be affecting the bottom line or I suspect you would get some push back from your partners. I’m not sure how I would react to a male consultant in a skirt and 5” heels in a business setting, especially in a first meeting. (I’ll have to think about what I just wrote.) You must be good at what you do.

As for keeping pace with folks that take long strides, try getting them to slow down by talking to them while your walking along. Most folks won’t walk away from someone there listening to or get so far away they cant talk back. Is it possible your partners were having a little sport at you expense by seeing how fast you could walk?

Maninkirt, you sound just like Erica from Jenny's discussion forum.

Very daring and great that you can do this in your job.

Unfortunately, I agree that the gents in your story could have been doing this intentionally, perhaps even unconsiously doing so. Either as sport to test your limits as thighbootguy suggested, or maybe there was at least some discomfort on their part. Trying not to be detracting from the event, but think about it some from an average man's perspective.

Chiao Thighbootguy. I hope I am good what I am doing. I am trying not letting my style affecting my job. Heaven forbid.

Sometimes yes its a bit hard, a bit difficult meat new people as you said Thighbootbuy, me too I not sure eithe how new clients people I haven´t met or seen before would react meeting me for the first time, as you say, a man, a guy, a consultant dressed in a short skirt and high heels.
Its a bit nervouse thing for me too.
All I know is I want to be dressed this way, I need too. I feel good about it. I can asure everyone my style, my new fashion style, my new look would not interfear with my proffesional life.
If I only got a few minutes wiith them I am sure they would realize I am the same as my partners or our employes here, I am the same as these guys trying doing a good job. Being polite, proffesional, listen to them, help them guideing them.

I said I was still the same the guys, my partners, my colleagues. I hope I am. I hope I still being proffesional the same way they are, the same way I has always been. My girlfreind, the ladies at the office ( there´s only two) tells me they have seen me changing.
They been telling me I have changed my personality. I am more gentle, I lissten more, seems to care more about other people. My girlfreind has been telling me; "It good love, you´re a better man now."
I hope she´s right, I hope they right. I hope I am a better person, a better man.

I guess you are right Thighbootboy, me too. come to think of this. Perhaps the guy my partners was testning me. Seeing how fast I could walk in my high heels.
If so I hope I didn´t spoil it for them. I think I did rather good in my 5 inch heels, didn´t I?
Well even if I had to do a bit of running, Michel giving me a hand crossing the street, I think I did rather good there in my heels. Didn´t I?

Chiao hhboots. See it from a man´s perspective yes some men would perhaps feel a bit discomfort going out with me but I feel this guy´s wasn´t. I know quite well, they know me. Still I don´t know how they feel about having a guy in 5 inch heels trying keeping up with them. They haven´t said not any thing, not given me just a little hint how they feeling about this.
I can´t do much about it, can I? I hope its theirs way to accepting me, not saying anything. Just go on as before. Well I hope so. Any way my partners seemes to be satisfied with my work and what I am doing. That´s good for me.

I don´t know if they did this intenionally or unconsiously. I only know its impossible for me now walking the way I did before.
Me dressed up in a short tight skirt, high heels, I can´t walk as guys do.Can´t walk as fast as the guys. I have to walk like a woman. Its feels better for me and it certainly looks much better too. I´m sure it does.

I think I did rather good that day, both at the meeting and on the walk too. I didn´t asked the guys to slow down because of me, didn´t let them see me slipping my heels off under the table for a few minutes.
I think I did verey well hhboots, don´t you think so.

Bubba, are you saying he's just reposting other's stories? With the way he's talking, it wouldn't suprise me. Unless, is Erica a CD or female?

Thighbootguy

You said, “I am trying not letting my style affecting my job. Heaven forbid”, but then go to point out how it has, “They been telling me I have changed my personality. I am more gentle, I listen more, seems to care more about other people.”

I don’t see how it could not affect how you work at you job. As a consultant, I assume you are working with people, so paying more attention to them would be a good thing.

Sweden may be a very different place than the USA (and I suspect it is), but when I go out in thigh boots with 5” heels, I expect people to initially be put off a little. It takes some effort for them to overcome their first reaction, some do but some don’t. I wouldn’t do this in a work environment where sometimes the first impression you make is the only chance you get. I don’t think a consultant coming into our business would be tolerated if he wore a skirt and heels, no matter how good he was.


On a whole different topic, you say you are wearing 5” pumps, have you ever tried boots, either knee high or thigh high?

Last note: I’m sure this was a typo but I’m not Thighbootboy.
