I think what I liked more about the second suit was that it seemed to fit better, but that might be because, as you say, the photos of the first suit were lousy :)</p> <p>Anyhow, good luck on the interview! Can't wait to hear how it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121684 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:20:13 +0000 Angie 121684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Marianna!

I like the color much better with your complexion than the gray one. I hope that you feel as awesome as you look and ROCK the interview! Please let us know how it turns out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121675 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:07:05 +0000 marianna 121675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121673 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:05:05 +0000 Queen Mum 121673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck Marianna!!!! You're going to knock em dead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121672 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:03:40 +0000 marianna 121672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First black suit is the winner. I left the grey suit at home for my mom to return and the black one is in my suitcase on its way to Chicago...</p> <p>My mother (my second favorite stylist... heh) agrees that the grey is too mature for me, and noticed that it has shoulder pads which make my shoulders look wider than necessary. So black it is! She also told me to try it on with the citron top. Angie and my mom seem to be on the same wavelength on this one.</p> <p>Off to Chicago.... (I love free wifi at airports...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121647 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 18:09:04 +0000 rute 121647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both suits! You style them so well! A feminine blouse and lovely shoes make all the difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121600 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:10:16 +0000 Dawn 121600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the first suit, the colour suits you better and it looks more like you. However, I love the yellow top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121542 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:52:14 +0000 Angie 121542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bring on the next pic! It will MORE than suffice, Marianna. It's fabulous - just probably not as versatile as you would like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121539 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:32:22 +0000 marianna 121539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, you're right. The picture I look of the first suit is sort of lousy. I need to take a picture with the jacket open! I'll try it on with the citron top. I think the black feels more like "me" anyway. I'll still try to get to Macys on Monday and see if I can find anything better, but if not, I think the black one will suffice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121537 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:30:00 +0000 Angie 121537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first suit is GREAT, Marianna! I much prefer it to the Tahari. I wonder what the citron top will look like underneath it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121536 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:26:34 +0000 marianna 121536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again for all the input. I'm sort of out of time now and will probably stick with the first option because I do agree that it is younger. The pinstripe isn't really that noticible. I need to try it on with the jacket open and play around with it. It might not be that bad. I absolutely see Julie and Angie's point that the grey one is a bit too mature for me. Finding a youthful suit to fit my body is quite the challenge!</p> <p>I fly back to Chicago tomorrow and might be able to run to Macys on Monday and see if I can find anything better. If not, I think the first one will be okay... hopefully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121523 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:13:42 +0000 Mellllls 121523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first one. The darker color flatters you more. I never commented on the first one...how prominent are the purple pinstripes? I have two black pinstripe suits and I don't really think the color of the pinstripes are so prominent to limit the suit's versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121521 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:12:48 +0000 cciele 121521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it better than the first suit, and I love the top! I agree that you look best in more modern, graphic colors and styles. Did you see any darker suits that might work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121506 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:18:43 +0000 Jean Gray 121506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel out of my element as suits go. Ofcourse you'd look lovely in anything you're so pretty!<br /> Just wanted to wish you my best on the exciting interview! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121491 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:53:50 +0000 Angie 121491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without looking at anyone's comments here is my 2 cents: </p> <p>Marianna, I LOVE the citron pullover. It's KILLER. Keep and enjoy. You and I are citron twins :0)</p> <p>You look better in dark charcoal grey and black. I can't help but feel that this suit is just not youthful enough. Does that make sense? May I send you out again for a black or dark grey suit with clean classic lines? Sorry!!!</p> <p>Was I the odd one out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121456 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:54:01 +0000 RoseandJoan 121456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry Marianna, I have had a couple of hectic days and missed your post about your interview. I'm doing a happy dance around the living room. YIPPEEEE</p> <p>Back to business, I think the suit is nice and safe but looks a little mature for you. Your work environment is casual and I guess you would like to be able to wear the suit as per Angie's blog on dressing up a suit for a party. I vote to keep looking but I'm obviously in the minority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121443 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:10:48 +0000 agrace 121443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one gets my vote as well. So many colors look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121432 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:58:34 +0000 taylor 121432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very lovely, much prefer the softer colors..:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121423 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:45:36 +0000 Dashrashi 121423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's a part of me that prefers the lower stance on the first suit, but this one also looks very nice and classy on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121417 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:15:13 +0000 Anonymous 121417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine too. I love the color with the yellow top. You are gifted in making great color combos that work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121415 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:12:22 +0000 Dusty 121415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one gets my vote, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121411 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:08:57 +0000 Queen Mum 121411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this one! I really like the softer color of this over the black and it fits you really well. I think this is the one!<br /> what do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121410 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:02:20 +0000 rae 121410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like this outfit better. The jacket is very flattering to your shape when buttoned, and you look great in that color top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interview-suit-attempt-2#post-121403 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:36:52 +0000 Debbie 121403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all the pictures to me.

This one is by Tahari and it feels like it's a really nice quality suit. It's simple, but I bought a yellow top with studs on the neckline to funk it up a little bit. The work environment is very casual and I'm sure the guy interviewing me will be in jeans and Asics sneakers, so the studs on the top are totally appropriate (in my opinion). I think the suit fits really well... what do you think?</p> <p>Ps: I look totally haggard in this pictures, please disregard! :)</p> <p>Jacket closed:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_3099.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_3099.jpg</a></p> <p>Jacket opened:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_3097.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_3097.jpg</a></p> <p>Without jacket:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/IMG_3101.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_3101.jpg</a></p> <p>Again, these aren't the shoes I plan to wear, I just have nothing else with me right now! </p>
