Safe for work? Not sure where you work but where I used to work I'm pretty sure these would have gotten me fired.
#1 looks a bit soft, I think that's the word I want, the contrast is bad. Her arm above her head just seems to melt into the background.

#2 her face and arm seem blown out a bit. I mean this photographically speaking, everything from here elbows down looks pretty good to me but elbows up the light seems too harsh. What was your light source?

Well there is another on going thread that has girls just like this so i assumed it was appropriate. Click here to view that thread. nothing less than you would see in a bikini.

I'm personally not a huge fan of either of these photos, the angles just aren't working for me. The shadows on 2. do not help to flatter the model at all and the lighting is too harsh, her face seems too soft so maybe if that were more in focus it would add to the image. I do like the tones in 1. but again, the angles make it odd for me. Also in 1., if her face was sharper and had a little more contrast I think it would be better.

Definitely safe for the forum IMO but maybe not for work that's all. Of course where I worked I probably couldn't have gotten on TPF at all. I'm no lighting expert, in fact I'm waiting for my first flash to arrive on Monday so this is as much a question as a comment, could you have softened the light with a white dish/reflector rather than the silver? I admittedly don't know what the sock does for you so my apologies if what I'm saying is stupid.
