Slippers to work


It is beyond me why anyone would build anything in Canberra without insulation - yet they do.  Case in point is our office.  Above our ceiling tiles there is a little bit of sarking and roof tiles, that is it.  As a result it gets cold in our office very, very quickly.

Luckily we have an excellent heating system but on these cold and frosty mornings it takes some time to get the temperature up and as a result, even with my fantastic Flox stockings, I've had cold feet too many times recently.

My office is quite a casual place, so this morning, knowing there were no visitors expected, I wore slippers to work.  The boys haven't even noticed, or at least they haven't commented, and I'm pretty sure they would, if only to agree that it is an excellent idea.

So I can add wearing slippers to my list of inappropriate things I've worn to the office - along with a ballgown, cocktail dress, large hat (for Melbourne cup day) and that time I accidentally wore a black bra under a white shirt.

Have you ever worn something odd to work (either on purpose or not)?

  1. I'm always ultra professional when I start working somewhere and then my clothing becomes more my own style as I get a feel for the place. I won't say I've worn anything inappropriate but I do like wearing bright knee socks with three quarter length trousers and my own custom painted sneakers. Fortunately, living in the UK, no one would say a thing because 'that would be rude' so I just get the occasional raised eyebrow.

  2. I would love to wear slippers to work! I don't think it would fit at my workplace but the idea is wonderful. I like the rare occasions when I get to work from home and wear whatever I like - and do whatever I like, around work!

    1. I love working from home for that aspect too! However I find it very easy to get distracted here, somehow my house is full of more interesting things than work.
