I have this strange idea in my head. I always think about it when the scenario below happens, but I can't quite figure out the answer.Today, I wore flats to work. Again, I don't know why I feel this way, but if it is not deemed a "casual" day at work, I feel incredibly lazy and sloppy if I am wearing flats. I feel like heels add a bit of polish to me - like they complete my "professional look."
Now, I work with women who look totally cute in flats and dress pants. I feel like I look like I just rolled out of bed.
Don't get me wrong, there are some days that I love nothing more than a cute pair of flats, but there is something missing with flats. Maybe it's the swagger (you know the one you get in heels), or maybe it's the idea that my legs look a little better; I don't know. I do know that in my little brain, for my little body, flats do not equal professional.
Is it just me, or do other people feel this way?

No I totally get it. I think my footwear has an effect on my level of efficacy at work. When I'm in heels, I work and delegate well. In flats, not as much. It must be a psychological thing we share.
I work better when I'm wearing flats because I'm not constantly thinking of how freakin' ridiculously bad my feet HURT!!
Flats ROCK!! I would have never made it through this 12 hour day of work in heels. I wore heels yesterday and got them caught in a grate and almost broke my ankle in the Business School plaza. Seriously! Heels kind of suck for 10 hour days!
AMEN! I couldn't agree with you more. With a rocking pair of heels all things are possible.
