After tossing around between Gap modern boot and Express Columnist and fiddling with various size discrepancies and returns, I've settled on the zig zag Express. http://www.ebay.com/itm/280878....._600wt_821
They are eBay, but are returnable. Hopefully they'll fit like a dream and my search will be over! Then my interview capsule should be complete. Deep teal velvet blazer, snakeskin black blazer, black cotton pants, tweed pants, and at least 4 interchangeable tops. Whew.
I think this has been over 2 months now. So glad if I'll be able to close the book on this chapter!
