Interview outfit with a twist

Just got a call for a job interview tomorrow. Not much time but my typical interview outfits need a twist for this one.
Interview is with a Jrs. retailer (not sure I am right for this job but my former company CEO is CEO there and he set it up) so I want a hipper, younger outfit.

Here's what I am thinking -
black and white pinstripe pants and blazer
yellow knit top (slight scoopneck with pretty gathering at neckline)
white bag (very trendy - big enough for resumes too)

white accesories - white pearl and silver 2 layer necklace, white strap watch

shoes will be black low heels - I have a ton to choose from.

Is that "young" enough yet interview enough? Not willing to forgo suit altogether for interview.

Sorry there are no pictures - the mirror in bedroom is awkwardly placed for pics and I get a bizarre reflection. Need to work on moving room around!

Sounds good, yellow knit top sounds summery and white bag adds a bit of trendyness x

Sounds perfectly fab to me too, Chris. I love a gal in a pinstripe suit, and I’m obsessed with white accessories so those sound grand too. Good luck! Keep us posted.

I'm with the girls. I love pinstripe also. Had a pinstripe suit back in the day...w/vest..geez you couldn't pry that thing off me.

I like Angie's white accessorie obsession.....It's contagious:)

Love it! Definitely sounds hip & cool. I have always been attracted to the pinstripe suit but was hesitant about it being too bold on me. Now that I have seen Angie sporting hers, I want to get one too!

Thumbs up over here, too! The yellow and white look very fresh against the pinstripe. Good luck!

Chris, that sounds gorgeous! I think that the bright colors will make you look very fresh, but the pieces you pick sound like you will definitely have a professional look. Hope that the interview goes wonderfully - good luck!
