Interview attire f/u

[LoveTrains]

Is this OK??

[LoveTrains]

Another angle:

[lilibet]

I vote yes. You look good.

And also, puppy!!

Can you tuck the shirt in? Or if you're a non-tucker, do you have a shirt that's not a button-front that you could wear?

An untucked button-front shirt is too casual for an interview, IMO.

Tuck in the shirt and then it is perfect.

No. The skirt is too long so I have to wear it up at my bra. When I tuck the shirt in the skirt is like mid calf and looks terrible. I don't know what shirt I would wear that isn't button down to an interview...I have a pink shell from a twinset I could try I suppose.

If you read my OP on Thurs/fri I am having fashion struggles. The other suit I have that I wore to the first interview has a ruffle on the back of the jacket so I don't want to wear it to the second round tomorrow morning.

Ok I'm doing a pug rescue home visit now but when I get home I will do the picture with it tucked in and then you guys tell me which is better.

Puppy!!!

But other than that I would tuck in the shirt or find something else.

[spunkarella]

Agree, try to fit a shirt that doesn't need tucking. Can you try the shell?

[Deleted]

Try the shell. Personally, I hate button down shirts under suits, too much bulk.

[crashgizmo]

Agree with the others- can you button the jacket? I can't tell if it has buttons or not.

[xokell2]

Suit looks good but I'd tuck the shirt/fold it under or go with a shell

[LoveTrains]

BAH. You people are ruining my confidence for tomorrow. Finally home, let me take those other pictures now. The suit jacket does button, i just never button them. I hate a buttoned suit.

[Pilsy]

I love your husband’s feet in the first pic.


Don’t lose hope/confidence! Let’s just see the other option(s).

[LoveTrains]

With shell

No need to worry about buttoning.  You're supposed to unbutton when sitting down anyway, and you'll probably be seated for most of the interview.

[LoveTrains]

Buttoned with shell

[v]

Shell looks great.

[LoveTrains]

Husband says he likes shell. It's like part of a sweater set/twin set of that makes sense so it is knit.

[hbomdiggity]

I am not a fan of button down shirts with suits - I find shells to be much more polished.

And now that I see the pics with the shell I much prefer this look. GL!!!!

[LoveTrains]

Thanks v. I feel better with shell too because I won't worry about it gaping along the placket and showing cleavage.

[Deleted]

I like the shell and it makes the suit look more polished!

[L]

Shell looks great!

Good luck!!

[jenikate]

The shell looks great. Good luck with the interview!

[LoveTrains]

Oh also it is supposed to rain. I have pink gore tex rain coat that isn't professional or I can wear tan trench coat (with sleeves rolled up bc they are too long). Or no coat and carry umbrella? I will have to walk a few minutes from my car.

[v]

I vote umbrella only if it isn't freezing out, or umbrella + tan trench if it is. But either way, if there is a reception area with a coat closet, ask to leave umbrella and coat (and bag, if you have a large one) in the closet.  More graceful than having a bunch of extra stuff with you (particularly if it is wet).

Good luck!

[nonsenseabound]

Shell looks GREAT!

[Deleted]

Shell looks awesome. Good luck!

[crashgizmo]

The shell looks perfect.

[sjh722]

You look great in the shell! Love the color.

Bring the umbrella either way, add the trench if it's cold or windy.

Good luck with your interview!
