Situation Style Smart: An Interview

Ciao bella!
  Today's Situation:

An Interview (could also work for a meeting the parents or an important dinner meeting.)


An interview needs to give off an impressive flare.  I am going to give outfit advice for a few different kind of interviews.
This outfit advice is for jobs such as managers, secretaries, administrators, teachers, counselors, editors, directors, journalists, etc...

A nice gray or black pencil skirt with a form fitting blouse with a similar shade to the skirt would look nice.  A nice pair of small heels would be appropriate as well.
A light, knitted sweater would complement the professional look, too.

If you are applying for a more fun and bouncy job, (teenage clothing store clerk, party store worker, camp counselor, front desk worker, waitress, etc...) here is what I would recommend:
If you want to really get involved, wear an outfit full of items from the clothing store you want to work at.
Other than that, a pair of denim skinny jeans, a long, bright colored tunic, and a pair of either strappy sandals or black/gray boots would look quite nice.  A dress is iffy.  Summery dresses can look inappropriate and long gown-like ones can look overdone.  Keep it simple and sophisticated with a jazzed up everyday outfit.

Now, I haven't mentioned hair yet.  The reason?  It needs to be done in one swoop.  Hair is pretty universal for any kind of interview, whether it be for a company position or a fast food clerk, when going for the interview make it look like you spent time on it.  You do NOT want to come off as lazy or unconcerned.  Tie it into a nice bun, run a headband through it, or even clamp a clip to it.  Keep it chic and careful.

Good luck and I hope your appearance makes an impression!
