Interview at a Law Firm

[Sorrento]

I am guessing my Karen Millen suits will not do
My plan was to head for Austin Reed and Hobbs, but I have enormous plates of meat, where can I find conservation shoes in a size 9 ????

Any other tips very welcome, they want polished apparently arghhhh

What kind of law firm? What kind of job?

Jigsaw also good for suits

MaxMara is good for work clothes.

Austin Reed I don't like and Hobbs can be good but can soemtimes be a bit retro / girly. Jigsaw suits are absolutely fine and last well without being at the priciest end of spectrum

Well it's inhouse recruitment for them, so not facing M'Lord every day but it would seem there would be a bit of popping over to court, or the surrounding wine bars to interview people, sign paper work etc.
I know some solicitors that look like they've been pulled through a hedge backwards but I wanted to err on the side of caution.
I've found a brand new Jigsaw suit on ebay but it's dark brown and trousers and DH says it's not right

I work in Legal Recruitment, I think trouser suits are fine, and brown would be OK.
Just something smart and not outlandish.

Link?

trouser suit fine.
black / grey / navy better than brown.... don't ask me why, but for law brown is just not right... (a barrister would never wear brown to court).

suit / smart plain shirt / low heels / discreet accessiories (nothing jangly) / make up if you wear it but not too much.... ie, smart.

good luck!

office do a size nine

I think that's what DH was getting at, thank god trousers are ok, I prefer skirts but cannot find one I like that won't flash my knickers.

Am going to give the ebay one a miss which is a shame because it would be lovely on me too as I'm an Autumn

although that was not the link I was viewing. you can search the site by size - the mid heels section had some office friendly gear.

Hmm, I suppose Brown not for the interview, but if you got the job then the brown suit would be OK to wear for work.
I meet with Legal HR regularly and they don't dress super conservative tbh.

What do think of this www.hobbs.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1226
Ironically I would have worn that in my 20's when I wanted to be taken seriously lol now I'd feel very strange in it, but need to be taken seriously and be given the blooming job

Good luck! fingers crossed for you.

which hobbs thing are you linking to??

i think most things from hobbs if their cut suits you would be fine.... they do some good trouser suits and shirts that would be good....

Ah does it not link to the jacket ?
Well it's a single breasted navy pin stripe jacket with matching trousers, in the sale too always a bonus.
I think that should be ok with a pink shirt and pearls, just need to find shoes now.
Thank you for the good wishes, I need all the luck I can get

Good luck, love that suit.
Very smart

what sort of job sorrento? training or post qualifying?
