Shoes-day Tuesday! Two tone repeat

It’s been awhile since I’ve done Shoes-day Tuesday hasn’t it?  (Well technically it’s Monday night, but let’s not split hairs)  I have some new shoes to showcase, but I don’t like the outfit I paired them with so you’ll have to wait until next time I drag them out of my closet Smile 

Speaking of my closet, when I did my shoe purge about a month ago, I rediscovered some Ann Marino strappy two-tone sandals.  I was on the fence if I should keep them or toss them and figured, they were a good heel height for work.

And wouldn’t you know, the last time I showed them here on the blog, I also mentioned how well suited they were for work.  I guess they just “speak” conservative-work-shoe to me, though in reality they aren’t all that uber plain and boring. 

So without further ado, here’s me and the shoes:

This is what I’d call comfy-casual work wear, not something I’d wear on a meeting day.  The skirt is Max Studio and I have no idea what the sweater is – it’s just old!

See, business-y, no?

Speaking of shoes and work, last Thursday I decided last minute to swap the shoes I was going to wear with some nude strappy sandals with a narrow heel.  Big mistake.  Huge.  While I was walking down the hallway, I totally bit it.  First time I’ve ever fallen at work, which is a wonder with how slippery the floors are.  Luckily no one really saw, but I have two giant bruises on my knees.  It should be noted that during my not-so-graceful fall, I managed to hold my coffee upright and not spill a drop.  Silver lining, people Winking smile

Come on, when’s the last time you bit it?

What makes a shoe conservative to you?  Do these fit the conservative work shoe category?
