I need some help and inspiration
I have an interview for a step up/big promotion at work
In the UK I know the expectations and formality expected in my profession, but I now work in Scandinavia which is less formal, so suiting up would be overkill
Last time I interviewed here it was smart trousers, a patterned top and blazer
Since then I have also lost 25kg and none of my more formal clothes fit or suit me anymore. Ive not really adjusted to the new me and still seem to order too large sizes online or pick concealment clothes that don't really flatter my new shape.
The brief
Smart but not too formal
152cm, size 10-12, but busty. (34F) Good waist
Feel more comfy in trousers, would consider a dress
Have never successfully been able to wear anything that wraps or ties without some sort of embarrassing wardrobe dysfunction
Suit greys, blues, some cold toned greens and pinks. Nothing warm or olive toned. Have a tendency to dress like an Italian widow if left unsupervised.
Was planning to wear heels for the height and confidence
Price of whole outfit under £600,
I am at a total loss and need to get this sorted in under a week
Please, S&B aficionados, any suggestions are welcome.
Inspire me, fill me with confidence and help me get this job🙏
