verbally - as in "mmm. isn't it a little cool yet for those?" (someone else asked how one wears hose with peep-toes. I don't own hose. Tights? yes. Hose? nsm, except for a pair to wear to church w/my mom that are ancient and currently hiding. I figured the pants were drilled down enough, I was ok to let loose with the shoes - especially since many people I work with go with flip-flops sometimes (which I had with me, in my bag, and I wore them home from 30th street because, seriously? those heels were never meant to commute.). but I liked them. they were fun.

And that's another thing! What's with all of the peep toe shoes? Don't get me wrong, I have to problem with them as a concept and own quite a few pairs, but I can't wear them to work!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I love those red shoes and if work was fine with open toes, I would totally wear them. With a navy pin stripe pantsuit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Got tapped" = in trouble?
That was my guess. Although I also considered "got selected for a sorority."

I wouldn't wear those to work because I can't walk in heels for any length of time without very sore arches, but a co-worker of mine never shows up in less than 3" heels. I think it depends on the rest of your look.

This was me when I worked in downtown LA, except for the last few weeks of my pregnancy.
looks down at feet at 3" heels
And today.

I was very pleased to find out when I switched jobs that people showed bare toes. I love peep toes and sandals and I have very cute toes that are remarkably straight in spite of being badly bent and broken a number of times from things like back handsprings and hiking. (Sox and I once discovered we have the same funny pinky toe passed down to us from our fathers.)
Also, for the entertainment of the teachers/educators here, from my Math Professor sister:
I have to talk with the campus mediator and a student this morning who I flagged for academic dishonesty. He is crying foul, even though on seven (7!) of the problems on a recent stats exam he solved perfectly and in two cases to two decimal places the versions of the problems on the OTHER version of the exam. He is claiming it was just bad luck and he did it by guessing, which he has to say as there is no supporting work for his numbers. Quite a miracle.
