For many interviews, a suit is the professional thing to wear. However, when interviewing for a fashion position, I believe that "rule" can be played with. I posted earlier when I first ordered this color block blouse. It just so randomly happened that I got an email from Bloomingdale's for a stylist interview at the same time my new blouse came in. I felt it was a sign that I needed to wear this blouse and leave a lasting impression. I stuck with the overall "suit" theme, but not so bland. To tame down the bright colors I paired it with everything black. At the beginning of my interview the interviewer commented on my shirt saying, "fun shirt!" Leaving the interview an employee of Bloomingdale's told me that she loved my shirt. Being that it was a "group interview" I knew I had to make them remember me somehow. With it being a stylist position and all, why not strike them with clothes! If anyone cares, the interview went well and they're calling me back in for a second...which means I'll have to figure out another interview outfit. Well, here's the break down of this outfit:
Color Block Blouse: PaulnKC $23
Black Suit Jacket: White House Black Market $165
Black Jegging Pants: J Brand $70 (at Off Saks 5th Ave outlet in Cabazon)
Black Suede Booties: Stuart Weitzman $200 (normally $400, on sale at Gilt)
