[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very unprofessional to wear open toe shoes. [/quote]

DP.  I've gotten along fine, with a career path through multiple countries.  I wear only Birkenstocks.  My "unprofessional" footwear doesn't seem to have held me back at all.

OK? OP asked it if was unprofessional to have painted toenails. It is not. In many workplaces, however, it IS unprofessional to wear sandals. That doesn't mean you or OP aren't capable of doing your jobs. Walk on by. [/quote]

Why do you think it is "unprofessional" to wear sandals?  Where did this rule come from and who made it?

You have a sad, striver mindset.  Let go of these silly little "rules" that constrain you.  Nobody cares if you are wearing cute sandals.  I realize these stupid little proclamations and rules serve to make you feel important, but at best people view you as old and past it, at worst small-minded and petty.  Find something real to focus on here.

OP, just wear your polish.  Make sure it is fresh and neat, and you're fine. [/quote]

Actually, I wear sandals and whatever I want at work because I personally don't care, though I would never wear birkenstocks because I think they are hideous. I also wear colors other than navy or black or beige or greige and I don't care about wearing big jewelry or having my arms out. I do what I like and would never have started this thread. Anyone looking at my toenails and bothered by it can look away. OP, however, seems like someone who is concerned about what others think and just like you (well maybe you would, I don't know) wouldn't wear dirty ripped jeans and a shirt exposing your nipples to a formal gala, many workplaces have dress codes and sandals are viewed as unprofessional.

Places I worked in always banned open toes because of safety. And these were offices. [/quote]
