I’ve gone on a variety of interviews since starting this blog but have never actually blogged the outfits. I have a hard time, like i’m sure many people do, dressing for interviews. I want to look professional and mature but also look myself. This is especailly hard since most interview appropriate clothing are things I don’t wear regularly (blazers, suits, etc.). So every time I get an interview I comb my wardrobe for pieces, determine I have nothing to wear, buy something and think it looks ok, then I take outfit photos and realize just how awkward I really look. It’s a struggle. I always feel like a kid playing Business woman instead of professional highly qualified candidate that you should totally hire.
             Anyway I recently had another interview and was determined to find a professional outfit that I looked and felt good in and didn’t make me feel like I was playing dress up. So after work one day I went wondering around the mall to find interview appropriate clothing that would look good, but still make me feel like me. Of course I didn’t end up finding ANYTHING. I also found out why i’m not a big blazer fan, it is so incredibly hard to find a blazer that fits well. Since I’m short a lot of blazers are too long and just look too boxy, it’s a lot harder than you would think to find a blazer that is fitted, not too boxy and fits. Anyway after finding nothing at the mall  I headed to the thrifts and ended up finding the above blazer. When I found the blazer I thought a cute blouse and a nice pair of black pants would pair swimmingly with it. So I headed over to target and found this blouse, I also bought some black dress pants but couldn’t find a sewing kit to hem them in time so just ended up wearing an older pair of black dress pants that I wear for work. In the end I think this is the first interview outfit I actually really like. I felt like myself just more professional, which is always my goal. Oh and if your wondering I just straightened my hair to see how it looked. I hadn’t straightened it for three years and was a little bored with my hair and curious what it would look like so I did. I’m keeping it for a week just to change it up, but I’ll be back to curly next week.
