Evening ladies. I have a job interview in the morning and I need some advice. I usually wear a pair of patent pumps to interviews. However, I wore them to a party last weekend and my feet were killing me. Are heels or flats a better way to go? I'll be wearing a black pencil skirt, white button down with a cami underneath topped with a black blazer and nude pantyhose. Both the heels and flats are black. Thanks in advance.
ETA: UPDATE: I got the job and started on Tuesday. Wore the heels to the interview but am wearing the flats for work. Just wanted to update everyone in case you were still curious.
Re: Heels or flats for job interview(UPDATE: I got the job!)
I can't think of a single industry where wearing heels would be a pre-requisite, except maybe fashion. Do they still make female flight attendants wear heels these days? I haven't flown anywhere in about 12 years.
Good luck!
I would say heels just because I think pumps give a nice line with a pencil skirt and elongates your body. I'm short-ish so I wear heels all the time. I also don't wear pencil skirts because I'm too curvy and have a huge butt so I feel like I end up looking a little slutty I guess is the right word.
And I'm in agreeance with @Fran1985 I would invest in some party pumps and work pumps.

The only reason I wore these black pumps to the party last weekend was because the heels I was going to originally wear didn't work out with the tight jeans I was wearing. I rarely wear the black pumps unless I have no other option for heels to wear to a party.
I may be in the minority on this one but I LOATE kitten heels. I heard them once referred to as the "mullet of shoes." I just don't think they are cute, for me at least. My work pumps are black patent leather, 3-4" heel, thick heel, and slightly rounded.
And I think as long as you can walk in the heels they aregenerall fine for an interview (if they are professional looking). As a PP mentioned, you don't want to look like a robot trying to walk.
