Sigerson Morrison - 7948 (Green Patent) - Footwear

So about a week and a half ago we ran a poll about flip-flops — specifically, whether they were ever acceptable to wear to the office. Poll is ongoing, but thus far, these are the answers…

Are flip-flops acceptable to wear IN the office? According to 68% of you, NO.

Are flip-flops acceptable to wear to office-sponsored social gatherings? According to 70% of you, only if it’s a BBQ or outdoor event.

Are flip-flops acceptable to wear TO the office? 51% said sure, as long as you change into regular shoes when you get to the office. (A surprising 20% of you said No! Never.)

The picture above may not (according to most of you guys) be appropriate for the office, but damn they’re cute. Sigerson Morrison - 7948 (Green Patent) - Footwear, available at Zappos for $299.

There’s something to be said for a great office basic — the brown pump or black slingback that you wear all the time. But there’s something to be said for the more adventurous shoe that you wear with the totally boring outfit (gray pants, white blouse) (black suit, blue blouse), etc, etc. It can elevate a boring outfit from staid to fun; it can also earn you reams of compliments.

This week, we like the brand Pour La Victoire, available at a variety of online shoe shops. The brand made its debut in 2007 “as a footwear line for the 21st century Marie Antoinette.” They’re known for blending unique heel shapes with rich materials and colors.

Some of our favorites, after the jump…

Oh, come on, you knew it was coming: how can we have a blog about office-appropriate attire without addressing flip-flops? We’re going to have a multi-part quiz…

Once a month, Shoes.com has a blow-out sale only during Saturday. We took a swing by (to, uh, you know, prepare) and found lots of great shoes for the office.

Womens Edone

We like the “Edone” shoe from Donald J. Pliner — even without the Saturday Sale it’s 40% off.

Womens 4517

Hello, beautiful. We love Sigerson Morrison shoes in general, but this one has a rich look and a very walkable 2.5″ heel.

Womens Sami

We tend to just wear black shoes with navy pants, but if you’re looking, this retro navy heel from Delman could be great. Plus, if your summer pants are hemmed for your flip-flop commute, then this low heel will go perfectly with them.
