Help, please dress me! I've got an interview coming up - creative industry but business role. When I used to work I wore jeans with a jacket for everyday or a smarter skirt and blouse if I had a meeting - all bought at places like Reiss and Whistles. I think I might be a bit old for jeans at work now though.
Looking through my wardrobe of 'smart' clothes it all looks very obviously like it was bought 5 years ago when I was working... A few pieces will be fine for everyday work once I start especially if I mix and match them with new stuff, but I think for a first impression at interview I don't want to look like I've come out of mothballs and give them a visual reminder that I've been out of the loop for 5 years!
What should I buy for the interview? Or which shops should I go in? I can spend around £150, ideally on things that I can use for everyday work once I start at a job, and I don't have to buy the whole outfit - I've got basics already (white shirt, white t shirt, shoes, a few suit separates that might be okay if I put them with something new). I'm a definite pear shape, about a size 14.
