Is this work approriate?

Appropriate, that word is supposed to be appropriate.

I have 2 pair of shoes, a very conservative pair and these sky high gold glitter ones. I'm a professional, not a "professional." (Auditor at a bank) Are they work appropriate, or should I change to the more conservative ones? Or are they okay, just not with this outfit?

    I personally think they're a little too dressy for a work environment.

    I agree, perhaps a little too much for work.

    While they are great shoes they are, in my opinion, not shoes to wear to work. I'd go for something still cute and sassy, but less sparkly! :) I have a black dress almost exactly like that, and I'll wear it with burgundy red pumps sometimes, just for something more fun than black pumps.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but I love them so much . . . but that's why I currently have the other pair at my desk in my work bag.

    They are lovely shoes, and you look great in them, but the glitter . . . I'd say no.

    They would be appropriate depending on region. Los vegas, for example.

    They are amazing shoes. That being said I wouldn't wear them to the office :-(

    They don't seem professional to me, more like for going out.

    I work in banking as well. While they are beautiful shoes, would not wear them to work.

    Yeah, I've already changed (with tears in my eyes). I know that they are party/date night/dessert on date night/photo shoot :wink: shoes . . . I just love them and I didn't have the black pumps that I normally wear with this dress. :cry:

    If they come in a steel toe, I'd hire you!!!

    I think they could work for... uh... work if you wore them with slacks instead of a dress. Pants would tone down the shoes, and the shoes would dress up the pants.

    Are you kidding? I see stuff like that all the time. Maybe your rival bankers are just more cool. :wink:

    or perhaps more inappropriate? depending on your definition...

    I think it's fine.

    I will agree they are to die for. I think you need to plan a night out so you can wear them. :-)

    If you click your heels three times, you'ld be sent to Las Vegas.

    And what stays there....

    OMG I want them, but I couldn't see wearing them to the office. That dress is pretty awesome though!

    Absolutely not work appropriate. If you wear those to work your co workers, especially the females, will talk about you and question your professionalism.

    I love platform heels, but I don't think the gold glitter is approriate for the work enviroment...

    The color of the shoes isn't appropriate for the office. Not the shoe itself. Love the dress by the way.

    I would wear them. But mind you I wear fishnet stockings....actually have some on right now...to work. You just have to know your work place.

    No to the shoes, yes to the dress.

    Love em, but they are more appropriate for work if you were a dancer. I used to bounce at a Pretty decent club in Chicago and the girls would die for shoes like that ;)
