Hey,

I have been having a tough time finding a nice top for a while now. I just found this shirt online -- is it okay? Can anyone recommend a different shirt?

My suit and shoes are black and have kept the jewelry very simple. Is it unsafe to add color somehow? I look and feel boring.

Thanks. 🙂

I have a mint-colored top that I've been wearing with my suit. If you feel you look boring, I think pastels are nice, but bright colors may be too much.

I've been adding color to my interview outfit by wearing colored and often patterned sleeveless blouses underneath my suit coat. My favorite blouses with my suit also have texture - think subtle ruffles, pleating, or stitching. I have seen a wide variety of blouses on women at interviews. As long as it is not too revealing or distracting, I think that you can have fun with the color and pattern to add some personality to your look. I would recommend looking at the clearance section of Banana Republic; that's where I found mine!

Hey! Where did you get yours from? Do you mind attaching a link?

I got this style, but with a very light color from Dillard's. Mine was also in the clearance section.

To be honest, this has to be the most uninteresting white shirt I have ever seen in my life.
What's so special about it?
It's so unflattering!
But that is just my opinion, it is hard to see how it will look like with your suit.

Respect the honesty.

always 😀
This is a cheap one, but just an idea, I think it will look good with a suit, I bet there are similar but from high end brands.

You can do so much better than that white shirt. Hit the mall... they'll have lots of options like schoolerbust posted. I wore a dark maroon jacket over a sleeve less white top that had a black strip going down the middle with some sewn in foldings for a design.

So I got a VERY light pink button-down shirt. Hopefully it looks nice...if not, I'll be sure to hit the mall again before my interview. 🙂
