Interview Apparel

Interview outfit
Interview outfit by helloblythe featuring a knee length pencil skirt

I had an interview this week at a company that I would really, really love to work for. When I first heard the job description, I had the rare feeling that I would be perfect for the job, and when I landed an interview, I was overjoyed. My main trouble was choosing the perfect interview outfit; I needed to look business casual, while simultaneously being very fashion forward. You'd understand if I told you the company and the position, but I'm going to hold off on that for now.

Anywho, above is the look I came up with: a silky but structured collared top from Madewell's spring collection in a bright poppin' purple (a color I seldom wear, but secretly adore), a chambray pencil skirt from H&M (a friend and I debated over whether it was too casual, but I ended up sticking with it), a silver envelope clutch from Madewell (couldn't find it on Polyvore, so I used a similar one from Zara for the mood board), glittery croquet shoes from Aldo, a tiny chambray bow from H&M pinned onto my collar (similar to the one above, but without the stones), and a brushed "gold" stone ring from Banana Republic (similar to the one above).

Here's a cheesy shot I took in my bathroom before leaving for the interview (I ended up ditching the bracelet [partially with Coco Chanel in mind], but it's from J. Crew, if you're wondering):

Really really really REALLY hope I get the job!
