Interview Outfit Help!

5 replies

Elfina · 10/06/2014 07:13

I have an interview for my first proper qualified job on Friday. I'm recently back to maternity leave and much bigger than I used to be before DD, so nothing smart I own fits. I'm also on a tight budget. I'm probably a 14 bottom, 12 top, and 5'8". I will probably have to pop out at work today to get something - near work are french connection, Hobbs, Russell and bromley, new look, river island. I'm 30. Please help!

What kind of clothes? If you're busty avoid dresses. Shirt and pencil skirt?

What about a plain black skirt and a blouse (burgundy is nice and formal) with some kind of necklace? Plain pumps, a plain tote and you're done.

I always think suit for an interview. I got mine in M&S sale. However suits in the shops you mention are going to be ££££ so I would look in new look or possibly river island.

Having looked online river island looks pretty hopeless but new look may have some single button blazers you could wear with smart trousers.

If you are on a tight budget, Gap and Mango both do plain cotton separates that are work appropriate. Banana Republic is better quality, but more ££ unless you buy it in the sales (whic are just starting there)
