I've got an interview coming up (yay!) for a university library job - so it's a professional teaching-ish role, I need to look smart, but it is a library and generally that's not the sort of place where you need a full suit. Which is good, because I don't have a suit! So help, please, I'm at a loss...
I've got a very conservative dark grey shift dress (kind of like this but not the jacket to go with it. I don't really like the look of shirts or long-sleeve tops under dresses like that. Normally I'd wear it with a cardigan, so I was thinking maybe buy a nice new black cardigan so it looks smart and fitted - do people think that would work? I can manage heels, so that should help. Though do you think nude tights would look better my normal thick black tights? Or would black trousers and a nice top be better? I could in theory spend a little bit of money, especially as I could use the outfit again for work. And if people think trousers and a top would be better, what kind of top? I'm just not the right shape for shirts that need tucking in.
Can you tell I've not had an interview for years?
