I would essentially be a consultant to a management board, so it's not great money but many of the people I'll be up against are self-made/early-retired/doing it as something to do now that they've made their millions. Needless to say, I've been out of the workforce for a while and haven't made millions (of DCs). Anyway I strongly suspect it's a fluke that I've been asked to interview, but I'll go with an open mind (and a packet of immodium). I've no idea what to wear.
I have a small budget (can go up to a maximum of £60) I've a plain black leather bag and some mid-heel black courts/nude peeptoes which would work. But I don't know whether to wear a dress and jacket or a suit (I often feel quite untidy in suits - I might also look a bit junior/unconfident if I wear a suit?). I also worry that it's going to be very warm weather and I'll be sweltering away. I will have a blow dry before the interview - I have pale red shoulder length hair. I am very pale and am a size 8, though with a tummy and saddlebags, I'm 5'4''.
I don't know how to look well-heeled and senior on such a small budget: I just don't want to look like the scruffy one! I am not sure how to do the dress and jacket thing either? Is it a good idea to choose a contrasting jacket?
(btw can't find a thread I started weeks ago about earrings - I've got my eye on some Monica Vinader which someone recommended, which I would get if I could find some in a sale and once my newly-pierced ears are fully-fledged - and if/when I get this job: snowball and hell come to mind!).
