Wardrobe 911 ®

You just got a call to come in for an interview from the company of your dreams.  Whether you’re interviewing for a very professional company like a financial institution or like one of our readers, the State Department, you’ll need an outfit that screams capable and confident.

This is a wonderful classic suit outfit that will be flattering for most silhouettes.  Combine a dark neutral blazer that hits just above the hips with a matching skirt or pant. The shorter length of the blazer is good for de-emphasizing the wider bottoms of triangles and hourglasses, as well as narrowing in on that teeny waist.

A straight-cut skirt like this pencil skirt creates a streamlined silhouette to also help balance out the lower areas.  Pair the two piece suit with the ultra-flattering Theory Aniston top - this is a great basic to have in your professional attire wardrobe.

Since black and white can get a bit boring, so be sure to add some personality and layer it with a colorful tank like my all-time favorite by Theory — a little pricey but so worth it, I promise you will wear again and again.

Add a simple pair of heels like these by Circa Joan & David, and don’t forget the Spanx hose to keep everything in check.  Go get em’!
