Is this work approriate?

Love the dress, not really feeling the shoes...too much glitter.
Not very professional looking either. I'd definitely go with a more "conservative" shoe...especially in banking0 -
I think that if the shoes were without the glitter then it would be only okay. The type of shoe and color are cute, but the style is a bit flashy for a professional environment.
The dress is very cute and very appropriate!0 -
Do you sit behind a desk? If it's just your colleagues that see them there's no harm.... I guess it depends on the workplace culture...some places appreciate a little creativity.
I think the public may perceive it as a little out there for a banker.
They are beauties though!0 -
I'd say they are lovely but too dressy for work, I personally wouldn't waste them wearing them to work!
That being said I always believe in bringing a bit of glitz around Christmas time.0 -
They certainly draw attention, but I don't think that they are inappropriate. They would be inappropriate if you weren't dressed as conservatively. I think they are acceptable, but understand that they will draw attention.0

the dress is the shoes are a bit too flashy for work lol0

I don't think they're work appropriate, especially at a bank.
My rule of thumb is "If you have to ask 'is this work appropriate?" then it probably isn't.0 -
I'm jealous you can go sleeveless at work. I have a Denim dress that I can't wear to work because it has no sleeves. I would love to wear it, but can't without a jacket. Which would be too hot in the summer.0

I think they are fun and they would be OK, but not in a dress it makes them a little too.... fancy. Wear them with pants and then when you pop our from behind a desk or something, BAM gold sparkly shoes!0
-
Put them on, walk with confidence and wear the **** out of those shoes. Those are damn cute shoes and if you can work it with a smile you can pull it off.0
-
HOT DAMN!! Yeah it is!! I love your style. Looks great0
-
The color and glitter isn't. In a solid color like black, blue, red, etc they would be fine. The same size heel with a skinnier heel--no bueno. Another way you can punch up your outfit is to add nice fashion jewelry in contrasting colors. You can also use colored cardigans and skinny belts.0

I guess I'm in the minority here. Maybe it depends on the part of the country/world you live in. Small town, not very trendy...then probably not okay for work. HOWEVER, if you're in a more trendy, liberal area, I don't see the problem. I work in a hospital and wear shoes like that on a daily basis (hot pink stilettos with metal spikes today)!!0

Sadly...no...they are not.
Don't cry my dear....wear them out this weekend. :flowerforyou:0 -

I live in an extremely liberal area and would not wear them to work. They're night on the town shoes, not office shoes.0 -
LOVE the shoes....but not for work.0
-
Those shoes are AWWWWEEEESSSOOOME!!!! (<--- said in a high pitched voice! :bigsmile: )0
-
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.
My thoughts as well.0 -
Those are not office shoes. But they'd be great for a night out.0
-
Sparkle is for night or children. Buy a new pair of shows and make it a pop of colour. Red shoes are always fun!0
-
They are amazing shoes. That being said I wouldn't wear them to the office :-(
Those shoes are hot, but the glitter is a bit much for an office environment. If they were a darker colour (black, sprinkled with glitter) then they'd be okay.0 -
I think they are more "formal" or "cocktail" than work attire. Unless you wore them with a longer pant...then you might be able to get away with them. I wear heels every day...typically around 3-4 inches (I'm a muchkin coming in at 5'1). The glitter makes them a little over the top for the work environment0
-
i dont see a problem w/ them IF you were wearing long balck pants, maybe ?? just a thought and my opinion0
-
I have those shoes, just without the strap. I personally only wear them when I go out, but if you can get away with wearing them at work, I'd say go for it.0
-
Maybe for clubbin', not so much for work.0
-
Personally, I'd rock them.... but my work place sorta sits on the edge of their seat to see what crazy defiant thing I'll do next.... like the time I came in wearing a black 1950's swing style dress, hot pink sating pumps...with matching hot pink hair. Soooooo you've really just got to know your office and who you're working with.0

I work in an urban area. My co-worker would wear shoes like that in a heartbeat, with an even flashier dress. Personally, I like the idea of wearing them with slacks, but I wear slacks everyday. I don't see anything wrong with them as long as the dress is conservative. If the dress were as flashy as the shoes, I would probably say not work appropriate.0 -
I dress like that at work all the time! But I'd say exchange the gold glitter shoes for either solid black strappy stilettos or black and white wingtip mary janes0
-
Yeah, not work shoes...although you could probably get away with them at work if you were wearing a nice pair of black wide leg trouses that just let them peek out a little0
-
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 love that outfit! I work in an office environment and I have to dress up everyday. I think you should add some black tights, black shoes and maybe add a short quarter length shrug.0
