Just checking. I met a woman who was all, "You're so familiar -- I'm sure I know you from somewhere," and I'm pretty sure she doesn't. But she was wearing those shoes!

I will admit to just walking barefoot across the floor to pick up something from the printer. But we tend to take business casual to new lows around here. (I'm wearing jeans and a peasant blouse with sneakery flats.)
