Interview - what to wear with suit?

[Anonymous]

I've been a sahm for many years. I have an interview next week at an accounting firm. I plan to wear a black Banana Republic skirt suit that is a couple of years old. What top should I wear with the suit? TIA.

Either a colored shell (nothing too bright), so if you have to the jacket off you still look professional (make sure it isn't sleeveless unless you plan to keep jacket on at all times). - or a button down style shirt ( depends on body type- my biobs are too big and I get gaps between buttons ). Since accounting firm I'd stick with light blue, light pink, beige etc. good luck!!!!!!

Depends on the suit!

Possibly a camisole peeking through the top or a tailored NICE t-shirt made of silk or good cotton.

A scarf or pin or "fun" necklace/bracelet(s) depending on the position.

I go in one of two directions. Cotton shirt when it is ungodly hot out, and/or a red shirt. Power!

Any suggestions on where to shop? Thanks for the ideas.

Ann Taylor, Banana, Brooks Brothers, Bloomingdale's. Please don't wear a T shirt. A button down shirt - cotton, silk, or a blend - is best for an interview with an accounting firm.

Accessorize with a simple pearl necklace.

OP, you can either wear a button down (more traditional) or a shell (more sleek). Some links:

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Pink is ok for a color?
