Interview Outfit

So, if I've not shared this before, I'm a stay-at-home mom and haven't held a 'job' in over 6 years. I've been applying on and off over the past couple of years, mostly to part-time entry-level service positions. I've not once got an interview, though I could have put more effort in. Well, I finally got a positive response on a seasonal sales position that I'd applied for at a store four blocks from where I live! I went for the interview today, and they let me know they wanted me to work there at the end of it. Yay for me! I was ridiculously nervous, but then I'm afraid of many things ;). I did have a lot of fun, however, putting together an outfit for the interview (and the interview wasn't bad at all!). 

I chose a thrifted look, but also a look that I think is creative and stylish! I chose this thrifted/refashioned homemade dress, a thrifted cropped cardigan worn over the top, thrifted bangles in black and gold, and thrifted booties. The tights and earrings were not thrifted. All told, this look cost around $25. The cheapest piece? Those booties at a whopping $2!

I love to twirl in this dress! And I'm loving this piece for fall, layered with cardigans, tights, boots, and soon, scarves. We had a warmer day, so this look didn't require an extra jacket.

My favorite gold bangles...I think I choose them over any other piece when I want a little sparkle while keeping it minimalist. The black one I bought, put it in my purse, then forgot about it for several weeks! May need to clean my purse out more often...

Here's to getting back into the workforce (though I feel I'm just dipping my toes in the water), and getting to wear clothes that normally hang sadly in my closet!

Oh, and lots of work looks to come! :)

Peace,
Andrea
