Wear An Interview Outfit To Be Remembered

Here's a quick, bolder outfit idea for an interview. I used this one for my second interview, after wearing a suit to the first one. Since my second interview was slightly more relaxed, (as we went out to lunch), this business casual outfit did the trick! I wanted something that stood out - professional, but memorably classic.

This top was purchased at Kohls and was on clearance for $30. It is a Chaps Classics blouse. I rolled up the sleeves so it sat before the elbow. The fabric is 100% cotton and does not require ironing. It was comfortable yet thick enough so I did not have to wear an additional under shirt.

 I had a hard time finding a professional navy blue skirt but I finally found this adorable piece at White House / Black Market. This was a bit more expensive, ($70.20), but it really brought everything together. The buttons on here are silver and the solid navy blue helped blend and slim with the vertical stripes from the blouse.

And then, I bought red heels. When people ask me about heels, I praise this brand. Payless has a line of heels called Comfort Plus. They are the best heels I have ever worn. I purchased a black pair last summer for my internship and they were amazing. I could run in them, carry heavy things, walk long distances, and they simply never wore out on me. I now have four pairs of them in different colors - black, beige, red, and blue.While I did pay $27.99 for the red pair, it was a Bogo sale so I was able to purchase the blue heels for only $5.

To help bring out the red heels, I bought a small, red clutch from Discovery Clothing. It was $9.99. Discovery Clothing is a little clothing store in the Fox Valley area in Wisconsin that has great prices for clothes and accessories. The catch is that there are no dressing rooms, but they do allow item returns.
For the rest of my accessories, I just wore a pair of pearl earrings.
