Help me find a killer interview outfit!

justawoman · 28/03/2021 13:08

So I’ve got an interview for a position that would be a very significant step up for me (think board level). I’m desperate to find something that looks suitably corporate and that will look good over zoom but also in person as it’s likely the interview will be a mix of both. Meeting different people so it would probably be possible to get away with one outfit for the two occasions but might be best to plan two. For various reasons I’d vastly prefer to wear black.

I’m an appleish 10-12 and like wearing dresses. Blazers also look good on me and I’ve worn trouser suits in the past. I can’t wear high heels but low would be ok. I’ve just sent back a massive order to John Lewis because nothing in it felt quite right. Help me not have to wear my trust old Boden ottoman dress again, please!

This outfit would be just the job, op. Grin

😂 @VenusClapTrap

Even the stuff I’ve just sent back didn’t look that bad on me!

Pinafore and blouse for zoom. With matching jacket for f2f.

Very nice: any idea where that’s from?

What industry are we talking? And what kind of budget?

justawoman · 28/03/2021 14:29

Budget is up to around £300 (potentially more if, gulp, I fell really in love with something). Industry is third sector

But quite smart/corporate third sector, especially at the level of the job I’m going for

I absolutely love this.

You could splash out on the matching trousers or wear contrasting ones.

I know if you bought both it would be over budget but it’s an outfit that would never go out of date.

That is lovely... very tempted. Am now looking through their whole ‘clever crepe’ selection
