That must be very draining indeed. Well, you looked lovely and completely appropriate for the occasion. agree with others that this shade of green is perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816940 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 04:27:21 +0000 ManidipaM 816940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfectly pitched, Jenava! Confident, no-nonsense, capable were my first thoughts.</p> <p>Just enough maturity to inspire confidence too, over jeans, I think; but also not overdressed. Just enough colour to stand out in. (I agree with the choice to leave off jewellery this time.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816906 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:49:28 +0000 Tricia 816906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfectly polished for the occasion, and that green looks fantastic on you. (We have the same coloring, and I love jewel tones with pale skin/dark hair.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816885 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:22:08 +0000 Mo 816885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You hit the perfect note. In food and beverage, being overdressed for interviewing or job hunting can happen pretty easily, too. Funny how it's those 'not quite' situations that are a bit of a struggle to appropriately dress for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816873 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 02:46:58 +0000 MNsara 816873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck, and hope if you want it, you get it! Also hoping to hear more about this interview ordeal sometime :-)</p> <p>You looked great - polished, poised, unfussy - exactly what any company should want </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816849 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 02:20:54 +0000 Jaime 816849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeneva the interview sounds grueling but I absolutely love what you wore. Hope you get the job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816821 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 02:02:12 +0000 Jenava 816821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. I did consider adding a pearl and crystal three strand necklace, but decided it was too dressed up. I wore a gold right hand ring and that was it.</p> <p>I had an odd experience while waiting to go in to the interview...there were several others waiting, dressed casually and younger *ahem* than I. A young thing in a cute dress and little boots came out and pointed to the two others and said, "so I'm assuming you guys are mine?" As if, it seemed, I was SO dressed up and mature looking that I certainly wouldn't be doing....whatever it was they were off to do....LOL. GAHD.</p> <p>I had a fun time interviewing, but it was a five hour ordeal and by the end I was sick of talking about myself!

So elegant, refined, and yet comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816687 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:26:07 +0000 kkards 816687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so put together, casual yet elegant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816480 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:01:01 +0000 Vix 816480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and a good compromise between their instructions (BTDT, so I get it even if I loathe it) and your style.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816474 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:56:15 +0000 Gaylene 816474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you nailed it; restrained, casual, but also a touch of elegance. That's not an easy combination, but you made it work beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816463 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:44:18 +0000 christieanne 816463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I had an interview like that but didn't have time to find the right denim. I dressed down as much as I could (denim blazer and black pants) but did feel overdressed. I think when you interview with men in business casual setting they are actually less judgmental on the outfit. That might be sexist of me to think but it seems to be true in my past experience. </p> <p>Best wishes to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816461 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:39:00 +0000 Tina.b 816461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love outfits like this, classic and chic. Hope your interview was fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816459 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:36:02 +0000 amiable 816459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks perfect for just such an interview - it says "I'm competent and confident in myself". Did the interview go well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816355 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:32:23 +0000 annagybe 816355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816328 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:52:24 +0000 christy 816328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply perfect!

I love that shade of green on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816209 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 13:45:37 +0000 Isis 816209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! Simple and a beautiful color for you. This seems perfect given that you were advised to be casual. I agree with your decision to forgo jewelery for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816204 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 13:27:24 +0000 Astrid 816204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look chic and lovely! It looks like the appropriate outfit for the occasion. I love that green on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816202 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 13:14:12 +0000 Mona 816202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Deborah said, simple and sophisticated came to mind when I saw your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816200 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 13:11:47 +0000 BlondeAmbition 816200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful color on you! I'd like to see a necklace or an earring - call me a magpie but I think women should adorn themselves with something sparkly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816187 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 11:11:00 +0000 Asingh 816187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, you look chic. On seeing this outfit, a strand of pearls come to my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816156 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 07:25:14 +0000 Deborah 816156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, this looks great. Simple, sophisticated and conveys that you know what you are doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816140 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 06:26:53 +0000 Jenava 816140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weirdly, there were all men! Dress shirt or sweater and casual pants like jeans or khakis was the order of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816130 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 06:07:29 +0000 anne 816130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely look Jeneva. What were the people interviewing you wearing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---casual-interviewing#post-816122 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 05:54:18 +0000 Jenava 816122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I wore to interview for a company where I was advised that denim was fine to wear to the interview! I wore something pretty simple, but I think it was still considered pretty dressy! (-: </p>
