HELP! Interview Attire!
Permalink Closed

Ok, so I got an interview as an assistant store manager for a very trendy upscale boutique in downtown. I just got off the phone with the owner of the store and she seemed very impressed with my background and my enthusiasm.

I have no idea what the pay is, so this may end up not even being an option as far as a job goes..but I figured I might as well go to the interview and meet this woman and hear about the job.

So....What to wear!?!? this is obviously really, really crucial since I am going to be judged mostly on how I present myself and what I'm wearing.

I'm assuming I don't need to wear a suit..but i have no idea what I should wear?! I need your ladies help! If you could point to anything specific in my closet, I would greatly appreciate it.

I agree with Erin! I'd just wear one of your cute dresses or skirts. Just dress in the style of the boutique. Good luck!

Do you know what brands the store carries? I wouldn't necessarily go out of your way to wear one of the brands, but I'd wear something that would be similary or complimentary to what they carry.

I absolutely LOVE the DVF you got not long ago! That might be a good option if it isn't too short for an interview.

 Exactly.  Do you have a sense of what designers the boutique sells?  You'll look great.  Good luck!

Based on your TS posts, here are some I think would work:

ImageHandler.ashx?image=04-26-07_12.54.00.PM.jpg&user=stylekitty 
ImageHandler.ashx?image=04-01-07_01.02.36.PM.jpg&user=stylekitty (although it might be a little short - maybe with some tights if you can still get away with it)

1bfd631e9e.jpg 
9f019bbb88.jpg but maybe with a less casual shirt underneath the jacket
ImageHandler.ashx?image=02-10-07_08.14.48.PM.jpg&user=stylekitty Love this one - but of course it's a winter outfit. Maybe do something springier on top.
ImageHandler.ashx?image=01-06-07_12.30.56.PM.jpg&user=stylekitty Love this dress as well, but not sure if it's interview appropriate, although it is at a boutique...

Good luck!

i would definitely not wear a suit. i think any of the dresses you have would be completely appropriate. i really like the first two that blubirde posted.

good luck!!

I love your ricrac skirt from Anthro! Maybe that with your yellow blazer and teal heels (do you have teal heels?). Black DKNY bag.

i think just about anything would work because you have a great sense of style.  i would just make sure you have one strong accessory (i know that when i worked at bcbg they really liked us using accessories to "complete the look").  the other thing is i would make sure you know what you want out of the interview.  it's very easy to get distracted by all the cool clothes that you can get with a discount.  aww

good luck, you'll do great.

ok , my 2 cents as a boutique owner... DONT WEAR A SUIT. It shows a lack of "inspiration" in dressing and usually boutique owners are looking for someone who knows how to put together a outfit that shows you have style. (not that suits are not stylish ...) .

I would go for a dress, some funky shoes and a great bag. Based on your ST pics from threadstyle, almost all your normal clothes seem just perfect for the job interview.

Good luck , I hope it goes well !
