I have an interview Wednesday. I've never been on a professional interview before. What should I wear? I bought black suit/dress up pants and a red dress up button up shirt. Is this appropriate? I have no clue.. I dont even know what to wear for shoes.. This is my first like real big job interview besides like a resturant and grocery store.. Also help with what should I wear for shoes as well.. I dont know how to walk on high heals so there might be a problem.. PLEASE HELP!! I live in the cold New England weather..

Here's my advice. You should NOT:
…turn up in casual wear
Even if the company interviewing you has an informal culture, showing up in your weekend wear is a no-no. Fail-safe clothes for an interview are the classic jacket suit or simple dress for ladies; and long-sleeved shirt, tie and tailored trousers in conservative colours for men. Select clothes appropriate for the position you are applying for.
…choose the wrong colour or fabric
Keep clothes in neutral colours or discreet prints that don't distract the interviewer. For ladies, keep bra straps hidden from view. Stay away from pure linen, which wrinkles easily, and sheer fabrics that show all.
…go too heavy on scent
When it comes to perfume or cologne, less is better. You don't want to be remembered for your lingering scent after an interview. You can kiss the job goodbye if the interviewer has a sensitive nose and your perfume sets off his allergy.
…paint your face with thick makeups
Stick to the natural look when it comes to makeup. Choose safe colours like peach or beige. If you are not in the habit of wearing any make-up, try a little lip gloss and loose powder to cut down on shine.
…let accessories steal the show
Accessories are meant to jazz up an otherwise mundane outfit. Stay clear of oversized earrings and necklaces that compete with you for your interviewer's attention. Pay attention to your shoes and bags too.
…have hair here, there and everywhere
Unless you are gunning for a job in a hair salon or modelling agency, avoid extreme styles and hair colours. Keep your fringe close to or above the eyebrows, or swept to the side so that the interviewer can see your face.
Wish you the best of luck! :-)

Black suite and dress up pants should be fine they will expect you to come into the interview business like, you'll stand a better chance that way most places will give you extra points for dress and appearance.

something dressy/casual but comfortable. if ou walk in and look like you would rather be wearing a garbage bad, it will show. there are many things you could find. plus it is spring time, so maybe some khakis, a nice warm top, and some dress shoes.
