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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

they are lovely

get a red bag or top to match

I like them, not ott for work at all

Ooh i love them

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

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

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

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

they are lovely really.

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..

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

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

i love them! i want some now!

they're lovely and would work well with opaque tights

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

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

Suedonim I love those M&S shoes they are fab

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

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