Help me style my new suit!

This is very exciting, until today I only had one suit, from M&S. To be honest, it is a bit crap. I am hoping to go to lots of interviews soon, so went into Hobbs and got one in the sale!
It is called Ferne, it's at the bottom in the middle.
The neckline is a bit unusual, so probably wouldn't work with my usual tops (as in, formal shirts). I have a dark green silk pussy-bow blouse which could work, and also a highneck chiffon blouse.

Otherwise, i was thinking slash neck tops in bright colours? I think I am in love with it

I really like that neckline!

I think it would look lovely with what you suggest, also a wide and low neck (so mostly hidden) with chunky beads would look good.

Heck- it's gonna look good with anything

I'm having to restrain myself from running out and buying more suits (weirdo). AND it was an additional 10% off for some reason today

Yes I agree on the highneck chiffon blouse, I wondered also about square neck things (so that you would mainly see the straight line across of your top under the jacket if that makes sense?).

What did you get with it, skirt? trousers? I could only see the jacket.

A skirt. The skirt is sort of fitted at the top,and the flares at the bottom. couldn't find the skirt on the website.

Ah found a dress or bootcut trousers (and some hideous spotty shoes with the name Ferne but we will speak no more of those).

I really like the jacket, it wouldn't suit me I don't think, but it's really feminine without being too frilly.

Nice.

Don't think you have to do that much to it. It would look good with the simplest of necklaces.

sorry x-post

The skirt sounds nice.

A quick look in blouses on the website revealed a nice hot pink one (first row) which might look nice?

lovely suit!

someone on MN pointed me to this site for work tops, my order has arrived and I am pleased, the jersey is double thickness and the quality is good.

Any good?

I quite like this though the picture isn't hugely flattering Only if you're a size 8 though, that's all that's left.

I was going to link to that square neck one that is the second link of iheartdusty! Think that would work really well and they have some lovely colours.
