Help! Interview outfit

9 replies

StarDustMonkey · 25/02/2015 13:45

Ok, I need help to pull together an interview outfit - I have nothing suitable due to weight loss and being a stay at home mum since I graduated.

I need to have sorted it by the weekend as my interview is next week. It needs to be very smart/corporate.

I am 27, a size 12 and 5'4.

I am also on a budget as we don't have much/any free money (hence me looking for work!).

Please, please help!

I would go for a trouser suit if it needs to be very corporate. Grey with a pale pastel or white shirt, black court shoes.

Next is good for cheap-but-not-too-cheap suits.

Good luck!

I'd do a dress suit - looks very "together" with little effort and can be cheaper than finding a top to match

What shops can you get to?

I can get to most high-street shops (I'm near Cambridge). I would prefer trousers I think, dresses either make me look short, or the dresses are too short!

If you're on a budget, Matalan is fantastic for workwear.

grey trousers and jacket for under £30.

Navy M&S

tethersend · 25/02/2015 16:41

have a look at Tesco too

Thank you tethersend :) I like the M&S one.

I've found these and was wondering what people thought? And what do you think of black courts and a back handbag, or would you do nude shoes and bag, or a splash of colour?

Sorry for all the questions!

Very nice- as you say the role is corporate, I'd stick with black accessories.
