kind of a ridiculous question, i know, but here it goes anyway...

interviewing at a school that will probably be freezing cold and have lots of snow. i heard that girls aren't encouraged to wear heels (not talkin' stilettos here or anything)...but what the heck am i supposed to put on my feet? any recommendations?

if you're going to be wearing a skirt, i think it looks kind of dorky/dumpy if you don't wear some kind of heel (unless you have super long legs). try to find small kitten heels, or like strawberry said, some kind of loafers with a heel. if you're wearing pants, loafers are always a good choice, or you do a flat, or something with a small heel.

wear what makes you comfy. my best friend cant walk in flats, let alone sneakers. she wears heels everyday, rain or shine, sleet or snow!
