In that other shoe thread I saw many posters say that they wouldn't wear the heels in question because they couldn't walk in them.
I simply won't wear a skirt to work without heels, even if they're really low heels, as I think it looks strange.
A suit (with skirt), in particular, I find looks just bizarre with flats.
I would also never wear a formal dress without heels either, for the same reason.
Is it just me?
PS - just bear in mind I'm talking smart / dressy work clothes - not a casual skirt and top, that's different.

Totally agree, only ever heels for described situations. I cant do dressy and flats, just seems wrong and suits and flats i always assume their just in comfy walking shoes but change them for work. I used to use trains and walking to get to work and always wore sneakers and changed them just before i walked in the door!! I do love my thongs though  and own about 20 pairs in varying colors and styles that i wear with jeans, casual skirts etc.

QUOTE I used to use trains and walking to get to work and always wore sneakers and changed them just before i walked in the door!! LOL, when I started working in the city and taking the train in I vowed I would not turn into one of those women, who wore sneakers with suits... 2 weeks later I neatly avoided the issue by becoming one of those women who wore THONGS with suits while commuting and changed in my office, ROFL!! At one point I think I had 6 different pairs of heels residing in my desk drawer!!

Is it just me? Not just you. I also think flats look odd with skirt suits and formal wear. The outfit just does not look finished off.

I agree with you. I think heels are almost a must with some skirts and/or dresses but in saying that i'm not talking about casual skirts because I also wear sandals with skirts or dresses but when it comes to tailored skirts or a more formal dress then definitely heels all the way. I love my heels  If only I actually went out at night to wear them all, ahhh those were the days.
