INTERVIEW 'FIT

I had an interview today. While trying to decide what to wear, I realized I don't own any suits. I used to many moons ago but they have dissipated over the years. While I'm sure the lack is mainly due to weight gain, my 15 years in state government probably played a role too since formal career attire is rarely required, e.g., khakis and a button up is considered dressed for work. Now, I mostly own separates. Today, however, my interview was at a corporate firm with leather door handles so a dressier approach was in order. Since I didn't have a suite I opted to wear a dress and blazer.

 
 
This is always a great alternative since it only requires two main pieces and you don't have to worry about trying to mix and match separates perfectly enough to make something that's not a suite look like it is. I'll wait to do that once I get the job.

 
 
Blazer: Express (similar)
Dress: Target (similar)
 

Wish me luck!!

  1. I love the flexibility of separates. I have started to feel about the traditional suit just as I do the comforter set - blah.

    1. I agree. I don't like anything too matchy, matchy anymore.
