Looking for ideas for what to wear for job interviews. I don't have one yet, but am job hunting, so I would like to have an outfit or two in the wardrobe, ready to go.
It needs to be conservative-ish - was thinking of a suit but now I wonder if I'm better off in something I feel comfortable and confident in, rather than trying to pull off a suit in which I feel uncomfortable. After years of working in universities where most people dressed extremely casually (e.g., jeans and t-shirt), I'm feeling a bit lost!
I am pretty short waisted with small boobs so find it really really hard to find jackets/blazers that fit properly - they just gape horribly around the bust because they're made for someone with about 2 inches more height between their waist and their shoulders, and about 2 inches more bust as well. All the online advice for short-waisted women seems to suggest not going for a cropped jacket but rather something that ends at the hips so as to give the impression of more length - but doesn't explain how to get over the not-fitting issue...?
I also cannot do high heels - too many foot/back/neck issues for that. So ideas for shoes would also be welcome.
Really not sure about colours either - black outfit with white shirt was what I was thinking, but not sure those are my best colours. I have been reading online about 'getting your colours done' which isn't something I'm about to do but for what it's worth, I have very pale yellow-ish skin and very dark brown hair which is going a bit grey (actually pure white) and I think I'm some sort of Autumn though some quizzes put me into a variety of Winter.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome!
