what do you think of this suit?
http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=67596&vid=1&pid=850726&scid=850726002
I of course love it but I am wondering about the rosette, should i keep it on or remove it?
I'd remove the rosette, but it should still look feminine with the piping at the waist.
Read through this great thread but wanted to ask another question...i went with a skirt suit but now i have interviews up north in october/november...is a skirt suit still appropriate? of course i'm wearing hose and a coat but will a skirt look ridiculous?
Nope. You can wear thicker, flesh-colored hose rather than the super sheer type for extra warmth (but avoid tights).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is OK to wear black heels with a navy suit, correct? I looked online and everyone seemed to say this was a "classic" look and was perfectly fine, but some of my mom's coworkers were saying that is was not OK. I'd hate to wear it and have an interviewer think it's a faux pas.
Totally fine. And for the record, black is the suggested color for shoes with navy suits for men, so I doubt any of your interviewers will think twice.
Any suggestions for shopping on a super tight budget? How about for short ladies?
Great thread, thanks for all the info!
Check out department stores sales, or a Ross or TJ Max. If you can score a suit cheaply, you could probably still afford to have it altered. This way, your suit will look custom-fit for you and you'll still get a deal! Tailoring is also key for making skirts/pants the proper length for shorter statures.
