I’m curious to find out what blog system you are utilizing?
I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest blog and
I would like to find something more safeguarded.
Do you have any recommendations?

My 2 cents: Wear conservative 3 inch heels to an interview. I love Loubs but it could send the message that the interviewee is a “rich girl” who has everything handed to her. That may not be the case, but for interviews, I think you have to be extra conservative and extra polished. No pushing the fashion envelope. One caveat: It also may depend on your market. Things may be different in the NYC market. In other markets luxury items are somewhat less common.

Wearing heels make you feel more confident and makes your personality looks strong.As you are going for an interview you should prefer black as it is more formal.Red would look a little more dark.The most important thing is that you should be comfortable.

In reply to Wildkitten.

yeah, but it’s a textbook [citation needed] wikipedia moment, since they use the phrase “racially tinted” and then cite it immediately.

Later in the article it explains that what were considered the top firms employing WASP graduates of the Ivies wouldn’t typically hire Jewish or Catholic lawyers. But I think you’d be hard pressed to be able to cite it’s current usage as having a racist tint. Plus, that makes it sound like the “white” part is the racist part, when it’s really more nuanced than that, it was an even narrower intersection of classism/racism/sexism….

therefore, I agree, it doesn’t make sense to me to use ‘racism’ as a reason not to use the term now.

In reply to MJ.

Actually, MJ it refers to white buck shoes — the white suede oxfords with the red rubber bottoms favored by WASP men back in the day (not that any of them would actually wear those shoes to the firm during the work week). William Safire wrote a piece about it for NY Times (link below).
