Two weeks ago I blogged about the Boutique 9 Elation, and I was previously jazzed about the J.Shoes Meadow.  After writing about them, I got both comments and e-mails asking how to wear them in a more professional capacity.

I’ve been thinking about this, trying to come up with a way, but I think the difficulty here is that these shoes are simply never going to be professional.  That’s not to say no one can wear them to work.  If your dress code is Smart Casual, you’re all set with a pair of black skinny pants and a feminine top under a cardican or blazer–adorable.  But if you work in a law firm or you do some sort of financial planning or banking or something else for The Man, you’re going to have to save the boots for your pre-happy hour costume change.  The best rule of thumb I could think of was, if the men wear suits, you shouldn’t wear these boots.

P.S. Due to an overwhelming response, we got all held up– V-Day Giveaway Winner Announced Friday!
