Hi Pres,
I have a very good problem, I think. I am going to be invited to interview for 2 different jobs in the next couple of weeks (both promotions!) Since you are not only an expert at fashion, but also conduct interviews, I know I'll get perfect advice.
My blue Tahari pant suit is great for an interview in the public school setting. It's dark, but not an dark as navy, a little more bright than navy. If you put a black shoe with the pants, there is a definite distinction between the two. I don't know if that gives you a good description. Normally, I wear a pretty spring green shell with it. I also have a brooch with shades of greens and blues that would be very pretty. (Someone once said on a fashion forum that it's good to wear an interesting piece of jewelry as a conversation starter.) Is this not conservative enough for an interview? And, I'm always perplexed about shoes. I've worn black slingbacks with it, but is there something else I should do, especially for spring?
Sorry to ramble and I'll try to post a picture, but I'm not the most competent at that!
By the way, I clicked on one of the ads here and found an awesome site for makeup tips! Keep up the great work - and thanks!!!

You make it easy for me. Your ensemble is excellent for an elementary school job interview. The colors are ideal; the brooch is a lovely touch. If I were wearing this outfit for a less formal Spring situation, I'd consider different shoes, maybe a dark tan, pointy toe croco print pump; but for your interview, I say: Go Get'em!

I felt pretty confident with my outfit, but decided why not get another opinion? Funny, the other pair of shoes that I sometimes wear with that suit is a dark tan pointy toe croc!!
Both jobs are at different schools, which saddens me. Right now, I live in the same district as my school, so I see "my" kids while walking the dogs, etc. But, onward and upward!
I did find a great site for makeup tips: Cover Girl.
Thanks!
Hi Halfpint - your interview outfit sounds great! One of the ads on this page now is "Find Interview Questions" at www.vault.com I think I'll click on it after I post this comment just to see what they have listed. Good luck with your interview!!! BTW, don't you have a family wedding this spring? :-)

Hi Vava!
I didn't see the links for interview tips! How could I have missed them??? Will definitely check them out today. Thanks for the heads-up.
Yes, DD is getting married next month. It's been a constant whirlwind of showers, luncheons, etc. But, a good excuse to go shopping! :-)
Hi Halfpint,
let us know how the interviews go - and also the wedding plans! I'll bet you will be a lovely mother of the bride! What does your ensemble look like? And DD's dress - what is it like??
Cheers,
Vava
Here's an update. Only one of the jobs became available; the one I really wanted. I interviewed this week, and received an offer within 3 hours! I wore the exact outfit we discussed, without the brooch. After thinking about it, it just wasn't *me*. Thanks for the help!
BTW, where are the ads?
Congratulations! The right clothes make a big difference, as we know so well.
I am evaluating a different advertising program, and I'm waiting for advice from my tech support (age 17.) Final exams should be over pretty soon.
