Smart "interview" type clothes for dd (17)

4 replies

Dd3 has a couple of school interview type things coming up that she has to dress smartly for plus a couple of speeches to give.

Do you have any suggestions for online shops? It's so hard online! Don't think my go to of John Lewis or Boden is quite right!

She'd like a dress but at 5'7 the short ones may not be smart enough. I know there are loads of shops that we're just not thinking of - so out of it with shopping these days and there's 10 years between her and her sister so styles have changed!

She's size 10, 5'7 with long hair and normally likes a bit of vintage as well as the usual high street suspects.

Thanks for any suggestions of shops we may have forgotten about!

If she is 17, I'm presuming she is already in 6th form ? What does she wear to school ? That would normally be considered smart interview wear.

ASOS, next, misguided, H&M, Zara, river island, very, pretty little thing... Smile

A smart Jersey blazer from H & M over one of her vintage dresses?

She is in 6th form but they are fairly casual - more what you'd wear to university lectures than in an office. Plus, obviously, online has been a slightly different wardrobe choice!

Thanks - some "shops" there I'd totally forgotten about!
