I am hopeless. I have a choice of two outfits but not sure which one will project the right image (suspect I will be competing for scholarship against mostly ex-industry professionals rather than fellow students).
First: Next suit comprising waistcoat, skirt and white shirt. It's v smart but I bought it for my graduation three years ago and have put on a stone since then. The last time I wore it for an interview it looked obviously tight and I haven't lost weight.
Second possibility is a pair of black linen trousers, white shirt and a light wrap-around black cardigan which is smart enough that I've worn it to work and one relaxed job interview (although an interview it was more of an informal chat about whether I'd like to work there an in a totally different environment - catering).
I don't know whether it's best to wear a too-tight suit (not sure what impression that conveys, but doubt it's positive) or an outfit that fits but includes linen trousers (are these a no-go?). Shoes will be shiny and black. I can't afford to buy anything else except a new pair of tights.
