    I personally think your arm muscles are more fierce than your shoes

    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)!!

    I want your shoes, I think that they would be PERFECT with this dress in a matching pink belt. I was actually telling my locker room friend this morning that what I really need for this dress is a hot pick patten belt with matching crazy shoes.

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

    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.

    Oh my goodness! where did you get them? they are so cute i want them!! But, i agree too much for work.

    If they didn't have the sparkles in them they would be fine. Really pretty though!

    TJ Maxx, they're Steve Madden's. I tried to google them and couldn't find them any where else. I needed something to go with my costume for the st patrick's day parade, saw them, had dreams about them for a week, and then went back to pick them up. I couldn't believe no one else had bought them in that week. Ah, perfect shopping therapy.

    They're lovely shoes. But I wouldn't wear them to your workplace.

    Cute... maybe with a different outfit you could pull them off. But honestly, not loving them with the more conservative styled dress. But, I think the dress would be cute with a pointy toed bright colored shoe... like red or yellow... maybe add a colored belt to the dress. The shoes are fun... so you should keep them at your desk so you can change and wear them out after work! :)

    I've been in the same field (banking) for many years, and "sigh" the unwritten rule is NEVER to wear glitter to work.

    Sad, really.
    :frown:

    I try to make up for it by wearing red, or leopard shoes as often as possible.

    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.

    I agree, with a very simple black suit, you could probably pull these off at work. with the dress, maybe not so much.

    Hum - lunges, squats, running, step class. From NROL4W I did weighted heel raised squats today (without the plates), killed both my quads and my calves. I do not work calves in isolation, they get so much work in my compound moves.
