Interview next week, help!

I have an interview next week for a well known store as a sales advisor.
Would this be smart and stylish with a black fitted jacket?
The other problem I have is a leg tatoo so I'd have to wear thickish black tights.
Other than that, a trouser suit but black, grey or navy? I'm limited to shops/ budget, actually I only have Primark and Matalan I can get to today.

I used to be a recruitment consultant and I think this is great for an interview. Thickish black tights, and a black jacket does sound a bit monochrome though, maybe brighten it up with some accessories or even bright lipstick. A splash of colour will make you more visually memorable.

I'd wear nude (or no) tights with the dress instead of black at this time of year, but otherwise sounds great

I have a leg tattoo so nudes out.

Thank you. I've reserved it for collection tomorrow.
I'll jazz it up with some colour, I have lot's of bright necklaces and scarves.
I have a navy jacket which may be better? The dress is navy.

Navy jacket would be great. Regarding scarves/coloured jewellery etc. I would play it safe (but then am not a recruitment consultant! And work in a v male-dominated bit of the male-dominated financial services industry) and go for plain silver/gold/pearls instead.

You can probably be more stylish as a sales adviser though! Maybe some bright lipstick as PP above suggest?

Meh. They didn't reserve my size! So I now have a lovely grey trouser suit !
