Would this work?
maybe that was the same girl who I saw interviewing in an elite school here in NYC. Exchange the canvas tote with a mini fashion handbag. Her ability to appear to be actively eye rolling while her face remains constantly rigid was anatomically interesting. everything looked slightly annoying to her and seemed worthless of her time
A British brand called Reiss was my favorite for this reason. It looked like everything in the store can be worn by KM. I don't have much desire in life but I do wish one day I'll be able to shop there without having to wait for the few times of the year that the store has 70% sale. A big plus of this brand for me was that the cloths seem to fit girls on the tall side.
That's her!
Actually now I recall her slim figure, her rather beautifully done dark hair and her canvas bag. The mini fashion handbag belonged to a different girl who actually was physically rolling her eyes at everything in a different school.
Canvas handbag is a different woman. It could still be her!
Go for the royal blue!
I don't recall anyone saying wholesale that trenches were borderline; perhaps just one particular one that someone posted?
Our winners:
Because white is predictable, boring, not flattering on most people and you'll disappear into the sea of other drones wearing a black suit and white button front shirt. Give me something interesting to look at!!!
Agreed. Although I like to think that I'm using the predictability of white to my advantage, I tend to stand out from any crowd due to certain physical property of mine being extreme, so in order to blend in, I chose white shirts.
I don't have extra long nose or oversized hands...just...a little too vertical...
You're lucky!
One more questions to the experts
Do you recommend I take a purse or a folder?
I need to carry my small iPhone 4s, my debit card and license.
Also, I'm wearing 2 inch interview heels, but when I wore them for my first interview they caused a lot of pain while I was in the tour. I'm blaming the fact that I had blisters from walking in the city the day before my interview. So I thought I should bring a purse big enough to fit flats that I could change into during bathroom break before the tour. But then I also thought that if I change into flats, my pants might be too long. I should just find better shoes...
What do you all think?
Thanks in advance.
Wait until we are both 80 if I reach that age at all. Not being tall helps with longevity!Aww shucks! I have the first two features, and would kill for the third because 5"6' is boring
too loose? front looks like its just hanging off.
I don't think so. I don't want it to be clinging to me. At least that is what I've been told in the past for professional attire.
OK I understand. I will keep looking. And if one more person (IRL) suggests the juniors department I might burst into tears.
I'm at a thrift store right now so yes. But Nordstrom and Burlington both suggested that.
Button down blouses never fit properly and always look frumpy and or oversized on me so I would like to avoid that of possible. If it's required I guess I can find something.
Breastfeeding and genetics. I won that lottery. OK Well I bought it for casual days and I will keep shopping. Thanks!And you're a mom? Life's not fair...
That's a little too 'T-shirt'.
Where the dinner is at and who's there with you make a difference. But either way I'd say you look appropriate enough and quite nice. You might have dressed more formally than a couple I've seen during the actual interview days...
I think that dressing a bit cute and casually before the interview to show your affability and your femininity then impressing the people with your ability to dress nice and professionally the next day is a good strategy. It shows your flexibility and that you are not a boring person. However, I'm not saying this because I have any kind of experience actually interviewing people. It's just out of my senses. I don't really like the second photo. It looks a bit dull...if you are concerned, maybe change into a skirt/dress?
