I can see why you like the cardigan with the dress better. Is that necklace one of your pieces?
The necklace is refashioned vintage, that I'm still thinking of adding some glass gems to... Does that mean you think the dress and the cardi is the best bet?

yeah, I like the cardi better. I would wear some of your original pieces -- but are they all recycled vintage? I would wear jewelry that represents your line...

Do you have a wide black belt? maybe you could belt on top of the cardi too. Just an idea, I don't know how it would look in practice, if it would be too harsh with that dress or something.
ETA: I DO really like the blazer outfit and I think it's a great outfit to keep in mind for another day, but for your initial meeting I still vote to go with the outfit that represents you and your line the best.

D, I'm going to make a special piece, something that would be a higher pricepoint for me more what I expect them to be looking for. Not all of my items a refashioned vintage, but I use a lot of vintage supplies...
BeauteJilly, the jeans with the blaze are the Gap mid-rise skinnies. I LOVE them! I have 2 pairs.
Everyone, thanks so much for your help! Cross your fingers for me, in hoping this opportunity is what I think it can be (and that I'm not in over my head here). Thank you all SO VERY much!
Count my vote for the dress and cardi. Plus, that means you can save the blazer for the second meeting. I would recommend making sure all jewelery you're wearing is from your own line. You don't want to have on a great pair of earrings that you bought and have the buyer ask about them.
I like the dress + blazer better than the dress + cardi simply because I've been culturally conditioned as a businessperson to pay attention to what says "power" to me. Dresses say "soft" and the cardi just emphasizes softness to me. So that's why I'm staying with dress/jacket.
That said, I like the blazer + jeans outfit way WAY better than your initial description.
Okay I was thinking dress+cardi too but you look so hot on the blazer+jeans! I think I like the proportion of the cardi+dress better than blazer+dress, personally.
I also think you'd be expected to look more 'creative' than a traditional job interviewee, so I'd think either look is appropriate. Maybe you could switch out the tee in the blazer+jeans for something fancier?

I hope its not too late but I actually like the skinny jeans + boot combo better than the dress. It looks more fashion-aware, trendy and flattering, not afraid to take risks, etc. The other one is cute but doesn't have a perspective and could be an outfit for just any girl going on a date or trying to look cute.
I would go w the skinnies + booties + blazer and instead of the tee something a little more regal like a silk tank or something drapey.
