It’s not something I advertise. Makes it harder to whine about being overworked and underpaid, you know. But I’m not the only one at work who has some!
I have work slippers. They’re black with a Steelers logo on them. I figure if I start gradually letting people see me in them, before long I can bring in my robe and jammies too.
Oh, gosh, the idea of wearing my beautiful slippers on the subway just made me gag. Although Snooki was always wearing her giant green puffy slippers on the boardwalk at the shore . . .
Honestly, I think if you blinged them out more, you could get away with wearing them to the store and telling everyone they’re part of a tutorial you’re doing later with some Tim Holtz findings.
I am confused about this work slipper concept. Is it condoned, or are you just getting away with it? What kind of job do you actually have? Is it bad that I think it’s a great idea, but I would judge someone I saw at my work doing it?
Oh, yeah, I’d totally judge anyone who wasn’t me. I work at a software company that has approximately ten people in the office at any given time, and they’re all men, so no one’s really paying attention to my shoes, ifyouknowwhatImean.
I leave them under my desk so I can quickly slip back into my real shoes when someone important comes in. But sometimes I do find them moved out from under my desk, so maybe the cleaning lady has a relaxing moment at my desk at night now and then.
I love these so hard. Where did you find them? I take my shoes off at work so I could use a good pair of comfy slippers. Of course, we can where whatever we want as long as it’s decent. So today I have on yoga pants and a work-out t-shirt and my puma sneakers. Well, the sneakers are somewhere under my desk and my feet are in the chair. And my space heater is running. It’s actually quite cozy here. ;)
I much prefer summer though – shorts and flip-flops!

I'm Katie, a farmgirl originally from Ohio who moved to NYC in 2005 for no apparent reason. I like vintage-looking things that are actually new, filagree everything, people who don't make me feel awkward, meaning it when I say "no sleep till Brooklyn", and not trying too hard.

Um, I did not know that you had work slippers. This makes me both love you and hate you. But mostly love you.

I’ve never heard of such things…work slippers… hmm…

Might get some funny looks on the subway though…

I cannot imagine the shit I would get if I tried wearing “work slippers.”
You’re telling me the rest of the women at your office don’t wear sweatpants every day?
Wait . . . you get to wear slippers at work? Are they hiring?!
Sure, and about 75% of my office works from home, so you could hang out in slippers all day without anyone ever knowing!
You have doll slippers and tights!
Also, I’m going to start advocating work slippers at my workplace… along with cocktail hour.
I believe you mean extremely grown up and classy tights and slippers.
Cocktail hour sounds great! That’s the one thing that’s missing from the post-“Mad Men” office.
Those look surprisingly like the slippers you got me for Christmas last year, but it never occurred to me to wear them to work.

How cute!!! I love this :) :)
Since I live in Kentucky we don’t wear shoes to work at all. So I’m not sure what you mean by ‘work slippers’. ;)
People must give you the strangest looks when you’re prancing around in your fancy Chinese Laundry boots!
Do you have to leave your regular shoes just inside the door like we do here are our house? Have you ever found your coworkers trying them on?
I leave them under my desk so I can quickly slip back into my real shoes when someone important comes in. But sometimes I do find them moved out from under my desk, so maybe the cleaning lady has a relaxing moment at my desk at night now and then.
Who could blame her?
Those are so cute! I want some work slippers.

Impressive!
My tights hardly ever even match each other.
