Help me, wise MNers!
I have a job interview next week (first of a series). It's a big deal of a position, in a flashy big-money firm. It's a marketing type role so I need to look ace. I however am a bit rough around the edges right now as I'm on maternity leave with 7 month old DS! My current job doesn't require corporate dress so I haven't had to Suit Up etc for a few years now. I can't believe to be honest I even got an interview, as it's quite senior, but I do fit the role well. There are only couple of other people being interviewed so I have a good shot.
I need to look Kate Middleton-level classy. I am blonde (just about shoulder length hair), size 14 at the moment but good hourglass figure, 5'6 with short legs. If I am dressing up for a business thing I often wear a nice well-tailored dress (Whistles, Reiss) with a blazer. Bright block colours look amazing on me. Bold patterns make me look fat and I don't like wearing them at interviews. I will have to wear heels too I know. I will get some Spanx too, to hold in any remaining mum tum!
I have booked a salon blowdry before the interview. Will do my own makeup but will get salon to do my nails (buff and clear coat polish).
Links to suggestions of dresses/blazers/outfits would be very much appreciated!! Normally I would scour TK Maxx for an amazing bargain designer outfit but I don't have the time now that DS is here!!
