I have an interview on Friday for my dream job. I don’t want to say what it is as I could put myself but it’s in the leisure industry in a business to business role for a brand which is quite vibrant and modern.
I’m far from vibrant and modern! I’m 43 , size 18 and a bit grey Grin I know I can ace the interview I’m perfect for the job but I also know the candidate pool will be strong.

I can’t do a black suit it won’t suit the brand, so I’m thinking dress and
blazer combo - maybe a bright dress? I don’t know, help!

Just noticed how much grey and black my workwear is, I really need some colour! Outside of work I’m far more colourful.
I just spotted a lovely dark red linen shift that looks lovely then remembered the two hour drive I have to get to the interview!

halfwit I think I’ll order the cherry dress then try and get a pencil skirt and try them both see how I feel. Might try the green Boden too.

Black trousers, grey blazer and shoes, new colourful top, long necklace or earrings in a colour also, a coloured or black bag - job done!

Ooh, exciting! FWIW grey shoes and grey blazer would look good with most colors.
