Where can I get interview clothes.....and what do I wear??!

Been redundant for just over a year and with youngest having started school am job hunting. Not that I even have a job interview yet but it occurred to me that I don't really have many interview-suitable clothes and those that I do have seem to have mysteriously shrunk in the wash....

Applying for office admin type positions. My last position was very, very relaxed on dress code and I feel very out of touch as to what is appropriate office wear. I probably used to wear either a smart shift dress or black skirt and blouse, maybe with a jacket for interviews. Does that sound about right?

Just been into town and drew a blank. Next would have been my go to for this type of thing but all I had were trousers (which aren't my preference as I am a pear with a wobbly tum and they always seem to look ill-fitting or are just uncomfortable) or those shapeless printed midi dresses which do absolutely nothing for me even if I thought they were smart enough.

Any suggestions??!

Congratulations on your new job! I hope it all goes really well for you.

I’m getting made redundant at the end of this month and have ordered the same dress for any interviews I might get. Hopefully it will be as lucky for me Grin
