Help with interview outfit

I have a dress similar to that that I wear for professional/business attire events. A cardigan is a must- black is great.

Also with a dress or a skirt wearing nude nylons/stockings is appropriate (plus you get nylons that go over your tum a little so it gives you a little boost of confidence by smoothing out those bumps), with low heels or flats- no toes showing. No necklaces/dangling earrings that could distract from your face.

In general, a dress for an interview should be a) knee length, b) no cleavage, c) not brightly colored- you want them looking at you.

I love the dress. Definitely pair it with a cardigan and maybe flat shoes, no big heels. I would say stop stressing, I'm kinda jealous I don't have the same outfit

It's a great dress, but I think it's a bit too trendy for an interview. I would recommend Spanx for your "soft spots"

A pencil dress and button-up blouse is always a great bet

I just always go safe and wear my black dress pants, a cute, but appropriate, blouse, and a black suit jacket. I am always weary about dresses because I am not 100% sure how it will go over. Every interviewer may view trendy dresses differently. BUT... I do have to say...that dress is really really really cute.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Feeling the love from you guys helps a lot

As for the suit jacket and pants, I wasn't able to find a suit jacket that I liked... it seemed that in order for it to fit in the middle, the shoulders and arms are too big for my frame. I did find a nice pair of dress pants but was underwhelmed with the options for a blouse. I'm not a fashionista--I've only tried going to Macy's and Burlington Coat Factory. Any stores that I should check out in Southern California?

At the very least I know the dress isn't a train wreck, and all isn't lost if I can't find a good alternative

Do they have any resale shops near you? Sometimes they have cute things for cheap there.

Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack also might have something.

Yup! Khols has been my go to for interview clothes! Them and / or the thrift store. For me, slacks are slacks and I don't have a problem buying them thrift.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who is clueless about attire. I just had an interview and found an awesome outfit that I wore (from Kohls!). Now I'm told that there will be three more interviews in the process, and now I have to go back to the store.

Grrr!! When interviews are at different facilities no one will know you have a single designated "interview outfit". But multiple interviews necessitate multiple outfits...😆
