The Interview Outfit

When it comes to job interviews I've always gone with the safe bet: a formal shirt and pants or a skirt. But today I had an interview for a fashion related job, where creativity is an important qualification. How to dress to impress? I chose a pair of really loose printed pants (which I never thought of like business attire) and decided to go for a risky but chic combination of stripes and prints. To give the look a formal spin, I added high heels, a black blazer and contrasting jewelry.

If new year, new job applies to you; start thinking of alternate outfits to wear to your interview. Add some color and choose accessories that reflect your personality. If you feel comfortable you will look confident and relaxed.

Remember not to think only about what to wear, do your homework! Look up the company and position you are applying for and be ready to answer questions regarding your goals, future plans, strengths, and weaknesses.

Good luck to all!
