Hello,

I really need your help! Hoping to have a job interview in the next few weeks for a job I would LOVE to get.

It's a job in education at a quite traditional school. High-up job (think Assistant-Head type).

I have lost 2 stone over the past year but am still a size 20. I have big boobs. Colour-wise, I love pinks, purples and jade greens. I think I am a 'Winter' in terms of colour. I have grey/blue eyes and dark brown hair.

Career and experience-wise I know I have what it takes to do the job. I need to convince them that appearance-wise I will fit the bill too.

I have been looking at the wide-leg trouser and City wool jacket from Boden, with a bright coloured scoop-neck blouse - what do you think?
Budget of up to £250 for something that would look amazing. Would need to be online shop as nearest major shopping centre is over an hour away.

Many thanks and over to you.....

I told you I'd link to fifty things you hated. How many is it now? Grin

Ok, more staid but over budget- jacket and dress

Shoes, you need a heel, I would go with plain, navy, black or tan with any of the suggestions. No more than 3 in best, no less than 1 and a half. What sorts of styles do you like?

Grin Don't hate it but it isn't me!

Now I like the next one; but I can't afford it!

I am nearly 40 and have never, ever (except on my wedding day, and even then I couldn't walk in them and took them off straight after the ceremony) worn heels.

I have super-wide feet. SIze 8.

Shall I fall into the Headmaster's arms and hope that does the trick?

Might work ...

How about something like the pointed pump (boden again, sorry ) that comes in navy and black,
