Would this be appropriate for an interview?

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

My interview is in a couple of days. I'm broke. I went to Goodwill, Salvation Army, JC Penny, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Kmart, Kohls, and a few other stores in my area to find a good fitting suit. The suits I've tried on do not fit; they're either too short or too long; too tight or too loose; or just simply way too expensive. AND to top it off, I'm extremely bloated from getting ready to have my period [no doubt I'll start the day of my interview].

So, I went to Target and bought some black pants that can be dressed up or dressed down. The length is perfect and I feel absolutely comfortable in them. I also purchased a white sleeveless top that I plan on wearing under my long, belted black, light-weight, sweater. My shoes are black, casual, and flat--nothing fancy, but in good condition, comfortable, and appropriate. Would this be okay to wear to an interview?

Sounds good to me. For my last interview I wore a plan black skirt ( really old) and borrowed a sweater from my fiances mom. Underneath I wore a shirt I paid 7 bucks for. Have to do what you have to do . You should be fine.

Also agree, the outfit sounds PERFECT!! And if it fits great, even more perfect. When you feel great, you'll look even better, and you'll be able to concentrate on what you bring to the job. :)
