Make sure the scarf matches your eyes perfectly. Be confident about your hairstyle, in my book that's at least half of what makes any outfit a great one. </p> <p>I love the shoes you linked and can see them working with numerous options. Where are they from?</p> <p>Good luck with the interview. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-needed---job-interview#post-1858292 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 13:12:43 +0000 Bijou 1858292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your shoes and great to hear that you have a back up plan if the purchases do not arrive in time. Go with what makes you feel confident and most you. Best wishes for next week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-needed---job-interview#post-1858209 Sat, 04 Nov 2017 20:35:29 +0000 Archadia 1858209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People have already been interviewed but my interview is middle of next week. I'm deep into interview prep right now. Figured crossed something out of what I've ordered arrives.</p> <p>Worse case I have an outfit ready to go.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-needed---job-interview#post-1857979 Fri, 03 Nov 2017 17:53:21 +0000 Fashion Photographs 1857979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My suggestion would be a pantsuit, especially a black pantsuit.&nbsp; That is the ultimate business attire.&nbsp; You seem to be self-conscious in a skirt, so the pants should eliminate the distraction.</p> <p>I hope you do well.&nbsp; Let us know what you wear and how it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-needed---job-interview#post-1857860 Fri, 03 Nov 2017 07:10:07 +0000 unfrumped 1857860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! Sounds like you found a good solution. I find short- notice shopping very stressful- you are managing it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-needed---job-interview#post-1857818 Fri, 03 Nov 2017 03:06:23 +0000 BrieN 1857818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Things are moving quickly is right!

They had a midi skirt I liked which I could team with a basic bodysuit they also sell and then I have a crop blazer that would finish it off. Why I didn't think of eBay in the first place, I don't know. It would have saved a lot of stress.</p> <p>I've put together a decent pencil skirt and blouse combo (similar to the second link) from things I already own just to be ready in case I get the call.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-needed---job-interview#post-1857658 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:10:57 +0000 River Raine 1857658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!&nbsp;</p> <p>I did a google search for plus sized clothing in the UK and found "simply be". Not sure if you want to buy online or not. ? I'm plus-sized as well, so I understand the issues.</p> <p>I liked this a lot (the way it is styled &nbsp;with a patterned flowy top and where it sits on the model's waist could be flattering on you):<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/sunray-pleat-colour-block-metallic-midi-skirt/pd034/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=6022#colour:Black/Silver,size">http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop...../details/s</a></p> <p>This is another option, which I also like:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/iscenery-didde-midi-skirt/gt279/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=6022#colour:Black,size">http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop.....?pdBoUid=6</a></p> <p>If it were me, I would go with a flowy vneck sleeveless shell in a color I love. Flowy because it skims and doesn't stick to my middle or the girls, then I'd wear a pair of pants and classic shoes. I'd add a topper of a suit jacket or a longer cardigan.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck in your search! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-needed---job-interview#post-1857622 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 06:03:29 +0000 Archadia 1857622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've applied for promotion and while I don't have an interview yet, my manager is quietly confident and warned me I should be ready as the company is planning a quick hiring process. I work in an office with a business attire dress code.</p> <p>I'd like a new outfit just for that confidence it'll give but I'm struggling. I have the shoes already (see picture) and I'm going through a phase where I am loving skirts.</p> <p>Here's the problem, I'm 5ft and overweight. I'm a UK 18/20 depending on where I shop. I carry a lot of my weight in my belly and boobs. I have a little bit of a waist but when sitting, my stomach just rolls up like I'm a Chinese Shar-Pei and my waist disappears.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I recently found a skirt, got it home, tried it on and loved it from the front. I then turned to the side and I looked pregnant with twins.It was a complete mood killer.</p> <p>What's prompted my post is that I spend the evening online shopping pretty much looking anywhere for something that would work and so far I've struck out. I could really do with some ideas.</p> <p>One final thing is that I'm limited to companies that ship from within the UK because if my manager is right, I don't have time for anything coming from abroad.</p>
