In case you've been wondering what's been consuming the majority of my focus for the last few weeks, it looks like this...
Since you never get a second chance to make a first impression, one of the tasks on my interview prep to-do list was to shop for a new suit. I hadn't had the need to wear a formal suit over the past four and a half years (since I interviewed for my current job).
I was a little surprised at the lack of options out there for something formal. Several sales clerks suggested I wear a white summer pantsuit or a bright colored dress because "that's what they're wearing to job interviews these days." Maybe I'm just ultra-traditional or conservative, but is the formal interview suit becoming passé?
Despite the well-intended suggestions, I finally found this Calvin Klein number at Macy's. I love the A-line skirt option, which really is much more flattering to a pear shape like my own than a pencil skirt.
I paired the ensemble with some fun Calvin Klein patent-leather pumps in light gray stripes. (I couldn't find them online but the color is the White option here.)
Of course, also high on the to-do list was lots of cuddles with my good luck charm.
