Get ye some flat shoes fgs

[irrational with heat emoticon]

on the same note...

just because the sun is out doesn't mean you can wear plastic beach flipflops to the office

get some flat shoes fgs

indeed

lots of chippolata toes oozing round strappy sandals at lunchtime and it was NOT A GOOD LOOK

anyway, off home now

Total MN time today = 13 mins, surely a record??

i love those office dress codes - 'no beachwear: vests, sleeveless thsirts, shorts, flip flops, sarongs, swim costume cover-ups or swim costumes.'

i once worked in the legal department of a conservative securities firm and we had a temp who work bike shorts w/a sleeveless tshirt to work.

yeah, she lasted a long time. not.

Malory, your Style Guru status may have been irrepairably damaged...

You are ONLY supposed to wear those whilst exiting the spa after your pedicure. To get into a taxi, of course.

I have flat gladiator style sandals on but not the common cheapo ones that strap up your legs

Because I am going from a/c car to a/c office...

i have these on:

[restores Malory's Guru status at news of home office - had terrible visions high-powered corporate banker in sharp wool suit... and £1.75 flipflops]

flat gladiator style would not suit my stumpy legs. I have Next £25 peep toe black heels on.

I'm wearing flip flops to the office. Most of us do here. But we are a trendy, minimalist office dahlings and can get away with it.

Our MD is wearing his slippers today. I kid you not.

I am not allowed bare toes at work (boo hiss health & safety) so am wearing these but in tan.
wedge does cause mild chipolata-toe... but not visible so doesn't matter.

I've got my toe post birkie-type things on today. They are black leather with little flowers on them, from Evans. Our office is fairly casual but this may be pushing the envelope methinks.

Oooh MrsB they're lovely .

Am fond of a wedge heel myself.

what is chipolata toe?

nicked that from oliveoil - think of uncooked chipolata sausages all pink and sweaty and trussed up by a too-tight, too-narrow sandal strap, so they bulge and ooze over the edges...

i have chipolata toe.aaaarrgh!
