It took years (and mostly being lazy), but I finally took some new pics of me in shoes. My gf and I just went away to Niagara Falls for the weekend. We both just needed to get away and do nothing! This is now our 3rd time there together. We like the fact that you get a half decent hotel for cheap. Plus, you're in a toursit trap! lol
I didn't bring any guy shoes with me. Not even like running shoes that look like guy ones. For driving and just walking around, I wore my Coach optic flats. I love these! Her and I loooove Coach! My gf bought them for me because she knew I wouldn't buy them for myself (they were just under $100 CDN). I have wore these out before to shopping and such at home. Only got one comment from a customer in Aldo's who really liked them.

I bought these peep toe pumps at 5-7-9 in the states at the end of the season. The make is Rouge. They are 4" high with a 1/2" platform. I know these are those same cliche pumps you see, but I like these because the platform is hidden on the sides. AND, they aren't shiny patent leather. PLUS, they are super comfortable!
I wore these out to dinner one night, with what I had on in the pic but a brown top (same style). There were people smoking outside. They just looked at us like "hey" and then went back to their convo. When we walked inside, about 5 staff members were there and no one did anything out of the ordinary. Well, I lie, we were both looking good so I'm sure they were just checking us out.

These mules are by Frederick's of Hollywood (my fave make - I got a few pairs by them). They have a good 4" heel. These fit like a dream. They are the perfect around the house shoe. I've been waiting for warm weather to wear them out. Normally, I'm sketchy on mules because most of them flip up too much which causes the pant leg to get caught under your foot. This is ok with flat mules or flip flops, but not really sexy with what you want to wear with them. Surprisingly, these don't flip up that high and work well with flare jeans.

So those are some updated pics. But now you might ask, "Well, CB17, what was the reaction?". None. Nothing at all. I was in all predicaments: standing in the entrance at a resturant waiting for tables, in men's washrooms, seated at visable tables, etc. There was even a couple of men's oldtimers hockey teams there. No one said boo.
Now, I'm not saying it's easy. It's easy in the sense that people do not really care what you wear. For me, it's more me being a tad nervous on trying a new style, such as the peep toe ones I did. But once you tried, it works well after that.
Wow, I went long, but I hope everyone enjoys them!
