Kilted Girls... Below the Knees?

**ScotAtHeart** · 29th June 11, 03:21 PM

As a girl myself, my vote is for converse.

then again...is there really anything that converse don't go with?

Reading about stilettos, it reminded me of dangers of thin heel that I have heard of. So, I did a search on "danger of stilettos" and came up with the following.

http://www.5min.com/Video/The-Danger...Heel-326754522 (Informative Video), my feet, in hiking shoes, hurt just watching this.

Given that I would vouch for a wider heel and one that is less than 3 inches. Also I prefer to have a softer heel, like, cork.

So, these would be pretty good

These would be fairly supportive

As would these, though taking a half an inch off the bottom would be better

These would be OK, though again taking a half inch off the bottom.

And yes they are Louboutins, for those who were wondering.

Though I prefer something more like this, with knee high or over the knee socks. They are still on my wish list though.

My wife sometimes prefers legwarmers similar to those.

Matt, you're a good dad. There is no doubt in my mind, your daughters will grow up with a proper sense of style.

We have four daughters (three of whom are married) and three boys (one married.) We have taught our children to dress with style and not fad. The results, as far as the girls are concerned; three of them have always preferred pants and knee length dresses. The fourth does wear short skirts, but they aren't so short as to be tasteless.

In days gone by, my wife's wardrobe included short skirts, however, she never wore anything that was too short or in bad taste. Come to think of it,...I wouldn't mind seeing her in one of those skirts again.

I was saving this look for something special, and finally wore it when I got the chance to host the traveling Wales scarf.

I got the striped knee socks from Target, but they reminded me of men's hose with flashes...except not.

The shoes are Doc Martins men's shoes I bought a few years ago and I've always liked the buckle look.

That looks rockin' to me.

Depends only on the image she wishes to project. No other rules apply, since "tradionally" the kilt is not a female garment. If she chooses to wear kilt apparel, she has already "broken all the rules" so how can any of the other rules apply?

The noose, the noose! Fetch me a brand, Sean, she MUST be a witch, I can see her ankles!!

Agreed on the point of all rules broken...and an additon here...I saw a gal in a pair of these (they were a steel/brass mix though-didn't have my digicam at the time) maybe 7 years ago at a renfaire, along with a kilt looking "thing" (it was plaid, and around her waist). Methinks they would tear up floors though.

Ask "Cat In Heels" on her blog; she's a world-renowned shoe-fashion expert.

Father Bill I'm not quite sure when a woman wearing a short skirt of any kind became "pushing the envelope."

Hi bigdad1.

It's a very long time since I posted that and I don't remember what the finer points of my intended message were at the time. I am quite sure however that it did not refer to length of skirts which is clearly personal choice; probably more to do with trying extremely unusual things in colour or accessories since that's what "pushing the envelope" means to me.

Hope I haven't offended or shocked - it certainly wasn't my intent, merely an observation that women have a much wider spectrum of clothing choice before anything that they choose would be considered unusual.

Thanks for clarifying!

Cheers!

Bill
