You look lovely, Anne. What a great suit! I missed your other thread, but the pops of color you are carrying really give life to the whole outfit...although they can't top your beautiful smile.

Anne, you look wonderful. I love how your portfolio and wallet add pops of bright colour to the simple ensemble. And your smile adds even more.

Hoping it went well and wishing you luck!! Fill us in if you are able!

Thanks ladies!!!
I had hardly any tops suitable to wear under the suit (as I was reluctant to wear ruffles to an interview) so was aware it was a bit colourless - but my wallet is a lovely pop !

I find out by Friday, so will let you know!

You can't really see the suit details - but this suit is by far my most expensive non occasion clothing. I love wearing it and wore it 2 times a week for the 18 months I worked after I bought it. It is still great though it is 8 years old!

Oh Anne, that looks extremely impressive! Never mind the not having 'other tops' --- I really like the neckline of this one with the jacket, because it's a change from the usual buttondowns and bows. Nicely played.

And you were certainly right to go with the wallet alone. That actually smartens up the suit even more, with the colour and the compactness exuding confidence.

Fingers crossed the interview translates into the job you want!

You look great Anne! Love your creativity-who knew solving a problem like the lack of an appropiate bag with such a confidence will bring such a bold and cheerful pop of colour to your outfit! You are so wise! How was the interview going?

You look perfect for your interview. I was just having a conversation with our HR director a few weeks ago about how he thinks its weird that women bring their purses to interviews, and he'd so much rather they just bring their keys and a portfolio or something.
I can't believe that suit is 8 years old...doesn't look dated at all. Isn't that the great part of a classic interview suit?
Good luck with hearing back on the interview.

Looking good! And you are still able to wear the same suit after having kids - now that is impressive. Hope you hear some good news from the interview soon.

Thanks everyone.

This suit is fab (Australians, it is from Ojay). The top is a size smaller than the bottom, as you could buy them separately.
Pil, I actually bought this after DD1 - I bought it when I returned to work after her. I am glad I went for the larger size bottom so it still fits after 2 more kids!
