Hi gals, looking for some advice from all you fashionistas out there...

I work in a corporate environment. Suits, ties, its quite formal. Girls can be a bit more relaxed as in a full suit isn't required, but its still pretty formal. No open toe shoes for example.

I recently bought some new work clothes (yay me ) including a shift dress, a woollen dress (very pretty) and two new skirts. My problem is shoes!

I hurt my knee and can't wear heels. Thought I could, wore my pretty new woollen dress with a shirt underneath and my little snazzy ankle boots and paid the price - in agony with my knee until I made it to the physio three days later

So here's my question - can I wear flats with my suit skirts and dresses? If I go buy a new pair of flats, try and look for dressy ones, will that be ok? Appropriate?

Thoughts??
