Mostly stacked heels, that is. I wear boots and booties with heels, and I also wear heels at work, while wearing something more practical during commute. Thanks for getting back to the thread. The interview isn't until Monday, so I'm currently preparing my mock lecture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview/page/2#post-841274 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:27:53 +0000 jayne 841274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SOrry missed your asking back, yes 1 is good and with the modifications you mentioned also! Hope you did well! (Also 3 would be great with a jacket, like you proposed but I got the idea you went with 1 in the end)</p> <p>as to heels, ...he he...it is mid winter and no body is wearing heels...even in offices ...do you change to heels normally at work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview/page/2#post-841221 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 18:37:55 +0000 saramir 841221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, you picked my favorites!

Professional yet relaxed and engaging.</p> <p>ETA: best of luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview/page/2#post-840736 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:29:24 +0000 Deborah 840736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hands down 6 or 7... I'd hire you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview/page/2#post-840721 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 07:32:37 +0000 Ingunn 840721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, you are the best! Thank you for all the boost and advice. I'm now thinking that #1 probably is my best bet, and that #6 is good for any second round. It helped a lot posting everything together here and reading your comments. Norway IS casual, alas, and being too dressy will not send the right message. #1 is formal enough by far, and as I'm giving this mini lecture, too, I now feel confident that it will be the best choice. The booties keep this outfit more current than black heels, I think, they are more casual and thus more on the dressy level I aspire to. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview/page/2#post-840478 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:36:24 +0000 Debora 840478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and 6 have my vote. Good luck with the interview! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview/page/2#post-840477 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:34:13 +0000 Day Vies 840477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are so pretty! I am having a very hard time choosing between 1, 6, and 7. 6 is so appealing to me because of the silhouette and the red purse so it wins by a hair. You will shine regardless of which one you wear. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview/page/2#post-840430 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:00:07 +0000 Jaime 840430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I honestly have no idea which would be best for your interview, but wow what a great bunch of outfits! I love #4 for once you get the job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840424 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:56:58 +0000 Thistle 840424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #1. Looks very good, suit like but not, and very put together. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840416 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:53:04 +0000 DonnaF 840416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1 -- as long as you feel you will feel comfy in it, including the booties, to give a lecture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840391 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:31:44 +0000 Angie 840391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1! KILLER deluxe. </p> <p>Congrats and good luck with the interview </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840387 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:29:41 +0000 JuneBug 840387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #6, perfect blend of sophisticated as in worldly wise, and impeccable- you have an eye for detail! And red always speaks confidence. All the best for the interview! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840322 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:19:21 +0000 Makrame 840322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 6 are my favorites for an interview. These are the types of looks I would expect from someone coming in for a faculty position interview with a job talk or a teaching presentation (US expectations, of course). My personal preference for this type of setting is to wear a skirt that is knee-length, not any shorter, or fairly conservative-looking pants, which is why 1 and 6 look best to me.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840319 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:12:54 +0000 Laurie 840319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just want to say that I love your style -- I meant to chime in on your last WIW.</p> <p>I'm in sales so #7 is my very favorite, as I could see that in the conference room presenting a big proposal! I understand others' comments about being a little more conservative for the job you are going for.</p> <p>You can't go wrong! Love it all. Best of luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840313 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:07:36 +0000 Jjsloane 840313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 6 or 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840306 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 23:55:22 +0000 carolbee 840306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these, ah, the power of a well edited wardrobe. Have no idea about dressing in Norway (will have to find out if we go there next year). How about another idea - the black jumper, skirt and boots, grey jacket and a scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840283 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 23:29:48 +0000 Krista 840283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, my votes are 5, 6 or 7. I like 1 as well. I find the Canadian education system can also be casual, so I think any of these looks will work!</p> <p>Good luck - I'm sure you will be fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840235 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:23:29 +0000 moira 840235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in late, but I like #6. It does not look overdressed and I think that it shows respect for the job and the interviewer to look really polished. I think that fits the bill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840229 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:20:36 +0000 Anonymous 840229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1, although you have plenty of lovely choices here. I just think # 1 is hitting all of the high notes, the colors are rich together, it is suit like but not really.... I just like it, a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840222 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:13:51 +0000 Anonymous 840222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 too -- I think that would be great for a lecture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840218 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:10:29 +0000 Ingunn 840218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 takes the lead! How about wearing #1 or #3 with jacket for first interview, and save #6 for the second round of I get one? I forgot to mention that I'm going to give a mock lecture (15 minutes), too. Maybe trousers are best for that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840206 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:00:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 840206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 then #7 imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840198 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:56:42 +0000 Mona 840198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #7 are my favourite. They are polished, professional and fun. Good luck for the interview. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840192 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:50:45 +0000 ClaraT 840192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, hands down. </p> <p>You have great legs, but the best outfit for an interview is one that will be almost un-noticeable. The entire focus should be on you/your responses. </p> <p>#1 is formal but not stuffy, suggesting competence (but you still look approachable). The others outfits are terrific, but I find #1 the most interview appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840181 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:45:09 +0000 rachylou 840181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked #1 &amp; 5, coming from a California 24x7 "dressy casual" perspective. Although the red may be a little bright. I'm slightly on the fence about #6 because it seems slightly little girl to me... but then in the U.S. we have this thing about giving the boys a run for their money. I quite like #6 nonetheless.</p> <p>But I say *yea* to the point about the jacket. #3 with jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840180 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:44:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 840180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always found it's better to over dress for an interview as opposed to under dress. Going with that, I really like #6. It's crisp, confident and stylish looking.</p> <p>These are all fab outfits BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840161 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:28:59 +0000 Inge 840161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks are beautiful, Ingunn, and I hear what Jayne is saying about the more casual environment, but personally I would still aim for a little dressier. My favourites for the interview are outfits 1 and 6. And you say you feel very confident in 6? That is definitely a factor that will help you during the interview.</p> <p>Let us know what you decide and good luck on Monday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-an-outfit-for-job-interview#post-840143 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:12:25 +0000 Ingunn 840143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz and Kellygirl, we double posted! Thank you for chiming in. I will definitely check out your husband's book, Suz! </p>
