Hello All,
I have been a reader of YLF for about 1 year but just recently joined the forum, and this is my first question. I am nearing my mid-40s, a single parent now, and have been a stay at home mom for 14 years. I'm planning on job searching in earnest after the holidays, and need advice on purchasing an interview suit. I worked in a corporate environment before starting a family and my first suit was from Nordstrom (conservative black blazer, trousers, and a pencil skirt) and while those pieces served me well, they were donated ages ago and I need to start over. My body has changed over the years: I am 5'5" and an inverted triangle (broad shoulders, 36D, non-defined waist, somewhat of a flat bottom, very narrow hips and slim legs). I typically buy sizes 12-14 (top) and 10 (bottom). I'm fortunate to have lots of shopping options where I live so I was going to start with the Rack and go from there. I would like advice regarding suit color and cut, as well as what to wear with it, including accessories. I'm fortunate in that I already have several tailored handbags but I dislike wearing heels all day long so I will also need to purchase a low wedge or kitten heels. I love YLF and have learned so much. I especially appreciate the Mom-on-the-Go outfit ideas and use them often. Thank you in advance for your help!
