I have had people complement me on my legs but I don't know what they see in them. When I first stared cross living I wore heels of about 3 inches but at 6'2" I didn't need the extra 3 inches. Over time I gave up on them and went to flats that were far better when spending the entire day moving around the office. Mini skirts weren't correct for the office environment and they were cold. Our office was often kept just this side of ice cube and it was hard enough staying warm  without exposing more skin. Most comfortable skirt was wool and several inches below the knee. If you want to enforce modesty in office wear, all you need to do is turn the temperature down.

Yes. I cite global warming and climate change to justify my wearing miniskirt in summer. Cool~

PS:  Barbie, More power to you and the way you dress!

Yay!

Here in my country, a lot of young ladies wear high heels and killer heels, especially in downtown areas of big cities. I noticed that few women carry heavy bags while wearing high heels. When I visit those big cities, I always carry a heavy bag, but can walk on high heels.

I have a rockin little body so hell yes I do, but not that often. On soft carpet, 5 inch or above heels are no problem all day every day. On concrete or asphalt, they hurt like a son of a bitch after a while. I like brands like these Qupid heels which were a Christmas gift to myself last year...



As far as skirts, it's too hot right now and I like wearing skirts with tights and in this heat that's a no no. I can't wait for autumn!

Those heels have 1 or 2 inch high frontal platforms, making it easier to walk on.
Yes. I also prefer heels with platforms.

6 inches ... like this?

Without platforms, it seems practically impossible to walk on.

At my age I guess I'm supposed to say no.Sure I can wear heels and it's not about height it's all about how they make my legs and torso look(which is great thankyou).When you are taller than most everyone in flats it really doesnt matter if you are wearing heels.They are still teeny weeny people from lilliput land so it makes no difference!!! Guess it all depends how you do it and whether you want to draw attention to yourself and whether you can handle how that attention goes!

(everything Barbie has said about shoes is correct!)

I love to wear high heels (between 4 and 6 inches) and short skirts..

I have a few pairs of 6 inch heels. Only one pair of my 6 inch heels are non platform.

Walking in high heels takes practice.. and more practice. Heel down first, followed by the front and I also walking like you on a tight rope makes it easier to walk.

I wear heels virtually daily, so my feet are use to them. Work I normally wear a 4 inch heel (I work in the retail environment)

My mother loves her heels and I remember as a child watching her glide in her heels and wishing I could try and my roommate who showed me the ropes of being a woman is also a big high heel fan, she also loves her 6 inch heels with a short skirt. So my little feet were crammed into heels early in my transition.. A first I struggled to walk, but I seemed to be a natural and picked it up very quickly.. I now glide effortless in my heels and my boyfriend loves it when I wear high heels. Sometimes my feet are a little sore after a rough day in heels, especially if I spend time on the shop floor.. but then my boyfriend gives me a foot rub and its all better.

Each to their own I suppose - but No never.

Even as a 24/25 year old in the mid 80's, as a newly minted completed person, I never wanted to wear a mini skirt or a stlllettos - in fact its always been a mystery to me why anyone wants to. Shoes with heels over about an inch and a half are bloody impractical, and sure they do give you a nice wiggle, but i'd sooner watch that on someone else than do it myself.

As for the mini, I prefer trousers, or on the rare occasion that I wear a dress skirt or tunic something of knee length.

Standard attire for me is nicely cut trousers with tunic worn over and kick ass italian leather ankle boots.

I feel like being at 5'9" I'm on the borderline where without heels I don't stand out that much. I am taller than the average girl but no taller than my brother's wife when she is in heels herself. When I put on heels... now suddenly I'm up in the stratosphere and taller than my older brother.

I cant seem to find big high heel shoes in South Africa... would one of you ladies know if there is something online or internationally online

Not 6 inches.

I never dressed as a provocative woman yet.....But, really, I don't see the need to dress as such.

Mini-skirts, no big deal, but that's not my style either....

mini-dress, yes, but it has to be fancy, with nice simple jewelry... heels understated 3 inch. I need sleeves to compensate too, or great embroidery.

I use to wear 3" heels all the time before my knees when out.  last year I bought a pair of three inch  heels and a pair of flats. I wore the flats to my therapist apt. and was going to change into heels when I got there because I have a hard time now because of my damn knees. I went to put them on at the office , but realized even that short distance I'd end up in the hospital. Talking about this I getting so jealous .

Thank you barbie #love

Move to Colorado?

I love to wear high-heels also during work. But in the office combined with a knee length skirt. At weekends I sometimes wear mini skirts or mini dresses.

It makes fun  I also wear hotpants from time to time.

Long Tall Sally seems to ship internationally.  They've got lots of really cute stuff in rather large sizes.
