I work in a very casual office. Not even business casual.

Jeans and T-shirts are the norm. No problem with shorts. (Though, last I checked the employee handbook, no cut-offs. Even we have some limits!)

The only footwear requirement is that employees must wear shoes. Flip-flops abound!

It seems to come up frequently at FridayStyle that one should not wear flip-flops to work — and this is a rule I agree with.

Even a dressy flip-flop seems inappropriate, too much visible foot!

Yet while I’m opposed to the actual flip-flop/thong sandal in the office, I am often guilty of traipsing the hallways making a flippity-floppity sound.

In fact just today, I was wearing a rather dressy pair of strappy sandals. But with each step, the shoe slapped away from my foot.

Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop.

Not just those sandals, I often wear slides as well.

Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop.

I feel terribly annoying. People look up as I walk past their offices.

Oh, the sacrifices we make for fashion!
