You ladies wanna fly out for the weekend and go interview shopping? ;-)

Tempting!

I've been in wardrobe-building mode lately ever since I got that promotion. I have a position to dress for and it's been a struggle because I'm a blue jeans and Birkenstocks kinda gal.

Here's an interview outfit recipe: black pantsuit with straight legs; sensible black shoes; pretty-colored tank to wear under the blazer. Keep jewelry small and tasteful. You'll be able to wear the blazer and slacks for ever and ever just by changing the tank or blouse.

Mrs. builds her entire wardrobe based on what goes with black.

Ok - if I were to take you shopping at Penney's, here's what I'd suggest: Basic pant suit like this. Maybe not this one, per se. But something like it. And wear it with a simple tank like this. (the cami that sells with it is not very pretty.)

At Chico's I'd recommend black slacks with a jacket like this and a tank with bit of color.

At Talbots, I'd recommend something like this. It's not black, but it's sharp and isn't too old looking.

I've never owned a pantsuit. They look pricey.

After all this...I'm thinking I'll just wear a church dress. *sigh* Nothing fancy, but I'm not interviewing at a corporate kinda place.

I just want this job soooo badly that I'm obsessing about everything. At least I'm aware that I'm obsessing.
