Are these red patent shoes OTT for work?

I've just been end-of-maternity-leave shopping, and bought them, but am now thinking I should swap for the black. I'd be wearing them with plain black or grey trousers and tops - trying to inject a little colour.

Whats your job

[derelicte]

Not at all OTT. IMO it's heel height that would render them inappropriate.

[stepfordwife]

they're fab
just what you need for faking boosting your confidence for going back after mat leave

[ApuskiDusky]

Work in a head office - it's a smart trousers and top sort of place rather than suits, and a little bit of individuality doesn't do any harm - but it's not my usual style!

[derelicte]

i.e. stilettos can look a bit iffy, those look gorgeous

[cocolepew]

No, they'll be lovely when you're back in Oz fighting witches.

[morethanyoubargainfor]

I agree with the others, they are absolutley fab, wear them and be proud!

[Lauriefairycake]

they are lovely

get a red bag or top to match

[Fimbo]

I like them, not ott for work at all

[Flamesparrow]

Ooh i love them

[ApuskiDusky]

Cocolepew, when I am missing my boy too much, I can just click the heels together - there's no place like home...

[OrmIrian]

Perfect! Wish I could get away with those but I already tower over most of the people in my office.

[MamaG]

I have red stilettoes which I wear for work! I wear them with smart black trousers, a thin red belt and a balck or white top

I always feel fab in them

[derelicte]

MamaG - you prob have the attitude (and balance) to wear them. I don't

[cocolepew]

they are lovely really.

[ApuskiDusky]

OK, I will abide by the collective wisdom of MN and keep the red ones, whatever DH says when he sees them! Now I need a red belt..

[suedonim]

Dd1 has just bought M&S's copy of those, to add to her 'Slut Shoe Collection.'

[MrsQ]

Love 'em. And as Stepfordwife said, just the thing for strutting back into the office with a 'baby, what baby?' kind of glance over the shoulder

[AuntieMaggie]

i love them! i want some now!

[bundle]

they're lovely and would work well with opaque tights

[bikerunski]

Fab, I want some, but about to start mat leave, so probably impractical right now!

[PinkyDinkyDooToo]

I was expecting some prostitute style shoes but they are gorgeous. I want them for the school run so I can be a yummy mummy

[PinkyDinkyDooToo]

Suedonim I love those M&S shoes they are fab

[GrapeJelly]

No, they're gorgeous. They'll put a smile on your face all day at work!

[twinsetandpearls]

I would wear both of those to work especially suedonim's.
