Recommend me an interview jumper please!

[spotofcheerfulness]

I've been a freelancer for so long that my work attire of choice is jeans, jogging bottoms or pyjamas .
Now going to interviews and have nothing smart to wear on my top half. Any suggestions of something warm and smart that screams "employ me now"?

A jacket?

If you don't need as smart as a jacket, M&S do a cowl necked fairly fitted jumper in dark grey or black for about 18 pounds. It's viscose but feels nice and soft and doesn't bobble when washing. Would be nice with a pencil skirt maybe?

Is a jumper really what you're after? I'd expect a jacket, even a casualish one without buttons (all over the high street). Maybe with a funky necklace perhaps. I wouldn't go woolly at an interview, however informal.

Not a jumper. A nice jacket such as Horse describes.

I am with everyone saying jackets. I have been in a similar situation to you and I found that zara blazers were my friend - slightly edgier and less formal than some of the nasty polyester blazers on the high street.

I like the sound of the cowl neck jumper Remus - have been looking for a fine cowl jumper so will be off to have a look for that.

Ooh thanks. I just look so hideous in jackets (they give me a Queen-style unibosom) I've always avoided them but may need to reasses...

I found that buying the skinny ones were a good idea so that they kind of create a slimming gap in the middle is a good idea (I have small boobs but rowers' shoulders!). I never do the blazers up. Zara is also good for thinnish (almost cardigan) fabric which would be good if you don't want to add bulk. I had to get a few and stalked ebay for them.
