If anyone has any advice I would be v v grateful. Found out yesterday I have an interview on Tuesday, and I fly home on bank holiday Monday from holiday so will have no chance to go shopping (and unless I want to go in a sarong there's nowhere near here I can buy anything suitable either) It's been years since I last had an interview, I'm so thrilled about this one, I didn't really think I had a chance when I applied but don't want to let myself down by looking rubbish and am terrified realising my only option now is internet shopping and praying it fits.
I work in a (business) casual sector, basically on a given day there will be people in jeans and people in smart dresses and separates but the majority will be jeans. Nobody ever wears suits, but it's also not trendy creatives, just people who mostly see clothes as functional.
My 'smarter' work clothes come from places like M&S, Hobbes, a few bits from banana republic and then a total mishmash. For things like this I would normally wear a wraparound dress and cardigan but the only one I have that isn't looking a bit frayed has a (subtle! I'm not bet lynch) animal print and I think its a bit much for an interview. I've been planning an autumn wardrobe revamp but it's a bit late now.
I've looked at all my usual suspects online and can't find anything that works so thought id ask here in case there are sites I'm overlooking. I'm size 12, quite busty so need to be careful with necklines, early thirties and suit browny, autumny colours. My dream would be a nice unstructured wrap dress in a brown/purple/deep orange, and a nice fitted smart cardigan to go. But I last interviewed five years ago so prepared to be told of that sounds awful!
