Thank you. I'm a government lawyer in a supposedly "business formal" office and I see this all the time. I don't actually care whether we're business formal (there's no reason for us to be, IMO) and I agree that pants and a jacket can look great, professional, etc. But throwing a blazer over whatever you're wearing does not make it a suit. End rant ....

OP, good luck on your interview! It sounds like your outfit is right for your industry and I'm sure you'll do great.

Twenty years in nonprofits here. Separates are fine. My best interviewing outfit is black pants and a fantastic black & white jacket. A bit of style is fine in fundraising.

I would wear pumps instead of wedges.

Not separates ? Even if top is a nice tailor jacket - with blouse underneath and black pants that fit perfectly with a pair of wedges?

Agreed - as long as it is a good pantsuit and not separates.

Yes, totally okay!

Its been a while since I've been on an interview. Have one with a non-profit in their fundraising group. Is a pant suit ok to wear these days? Or should I stick with a skirt, jacket and wedge heels? I feel more comfortable in my pant suit (nicely tailor with accessories) but I wasn't sure if its considered too casual?
