Off and On

Dar is a Canadian woman who rides motorcycles and has a blog.  She just issued a fashion challenge that is very cool.  I'm jumping all over it.

Dar dares us to wear both motorcycle and non-motorcycle shoes AT THE SAME TIME.  She, herself, started the ball rolling with this post.

I played with the idea and found the experience to be creative and fun.  Here are my pictures.  Tell me which one you like best.

  1. No. 2. I just elected you for Best Style Blog Legs of the Year :) If that was such a thing, you'd win hands down.

  2. Not so ShyBiker:

    I vote for number #4. Where did you get those delightful RED heels. I'll trade you for my white ones.

  3. Sexyyyyy! I like #3 best for SURE.

    I feel like you and I always talk about posing "femininely," so to speak, so here's one for you: When your foot is off the ground a bit, like in the first and third photos, point your toe ever so slightly. It creates a smoother curve from your shin to the top of your foot, and a more defined one from your heel up into your calf.

    Also, I agree with Lynne...you definitely deserve a best legs award!

  4. Love the photo of the high heel against the helmet!

  5. I like 1 and 3. The composition is most dynamic and interesting. Thirding the Best Legs award - Marvelous! I still can't get over those fabulous red heels. They're the perfect dream shoe.

  7. Well, these photos are much more creative than what I did before caffeine this morning. Guess I should have waited a bit! Very lovely, sexy red shoes!

  8. I love the third one with the helmet! Great contrast.

    ReplyDelete
  9. These are absolutely AMAZING. I love #1 and #2 best. The contrast is just so...engaging. There are stories in both of those photos, stories that I want to know more about. That's the mark of a great photograph.

  12. FUN!!! I love the 3rd one the best, could be the front page of a book or something! Do you have to ride the motorcycle like that? Now that would be impressive (and prob dangerous!)

    1. Hi Jodi! Glad you like my heels.

      They are my FAVORITE pair. All of my other shoes are cheap (under $30) but I splurged on these because I bought them for a fashion photoshoot. They cost $99 -- which is way more than I ever spend on clothes -- but worth every penny. They transform me and make me look better than I actually am. Not sure how that works, but I'm not complainin'!

  14. The one with the helmet FOR SURE! I dig this concept so much.

  15. Definitely #3 with the helmet.
    Dang....your freakin' legs kill me! Another one here voting for Ally and best blogger legs award. Hot!!!

  16. Reminds me of the lyric from Bernie's Holiday Camp in Tommy... "what a shapely ankle, what a perfect shin, if you could feel this silken thigh you'd know who has to win, if you could feel this silken thigh you'd know...."

  17. Wow, I was going to have a go at this challenge, was trying to figure out how I could do it without shaving my legs ... meh I'll just look at your pics and sit in a corner and wish mine were half that good!!!

    Love all of them .. and those red shoes ... oh I want some !!

    1. Thanks, Daphne. I thought of that and you just pushed me over the edge!

  19. Great photos!! Your legs are so smooth and in wonderful shape. This is the perfect combination for you since you do ride a motorcycle. I ride a motorcycle as well but don't really have any cool looking boots. Mine are just too plain to make a nice contrasting photo like yours. Well done!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love all of them! You have great gams! So jealous!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Such a great idea! these pics are so cool, I love them both but am drawn to the red high heels xx

    1. Hi Isabel. Yes, last Christmas I asked Santa for a new dSLR and he gave me a Nikon D3000. The resolution is so much better than my previous point-and-shoot Canon.

  26. Photo #2 for the extra foxy WIN!

  27. The third photo looks like a stock photo or an advertisement or something! Amazing!
    I got your card today--thank you so much. It was really so so thoughtful. You are a wonderful and kind person to know!

  28. You have exquisite ankles and legs. And you're making me think that a pair of red heels is a closet essential ... :)
    Found you via Fashion for Giants. :)

  30. I love the first one bet, even if all of them are great :) (oh by the way if I had to choose between the two shoes I'd definitely choose the motorcycle boots haha so feminine!)

  31. very cool idea! I totally love it! It reminds me of last year when Max took a pic off me trying on a Russian army boot while my original pump was still on and the new was already on. awesome idea.
    by the way, where did you red pump come from?

  33. it looks like an ad campaign...you should figure out a way to use these photos! i love them. i think i like the second one the best.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The power of Red! The pumps are sexy, I love it! Also red lipstick gives you this sort of bold look when you try it out you'll know.

  35. I'm speechless! Can't figure out which is sexier; maybe both. But what can you do about the weird limping thing when you go out for the evening?

    Love this.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Both pairs are to die for. I'd have to wear them on different occasions, however. But I LOVE!!!!! both!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I couldn't possibly choose - all these photos are stunning!!! Love love love what you've done here. These photos are sexy and tough all at the same time!!

    Gorgeous :)
