Can you tell us what kind of job it is and if you have an outfit picked out?
Thank you all for taking the time to help, I really appreciate it. I don't have many girl friends or any sisters to call on.
The job is a cocktail waitress position at a major Vegas casino (Wynn). The girls there are gorgeous and polished and totally intimidating to me, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I've been preparing for the questions, and actual interview, but I still want to look my best, because in this field, it's very important.
I was planning on wearing:
- Stretchy/microfiber, black, cap-sleeve, mid-thigh length dress with a cross-over bodice. It's very flattering, but not too trashy or tight. It's my go-to little black dress for family occasions/etc.
- Black or nude sheer hose.
- Black dress shoe of some kind (need to purchase), maybe Aldo pumps?
- Tasteful neutral make-up & nailpolish, and having my hair done beforehand.
- Simple earrings & possibly a thin necklace or bracelet.
- ?? Bag ??
It feels very thrown together for me, as my wardrobe needs a serious revamping lately, but I don't have a lot of time right now, so first things first.
I have a few days to find something better, any suggestions?
I know to keep things neutral and professional, but that leaves many options. I don't really want to look too stuffy in a blouse and skirt, or some kind of suit/blazer/pants type thing -- that seems a bit old and a little out of the element, but please correct me if you disagree....
I really don't feel the most confident wearing all black in August in Vegas for a 12 noon interview, but I don't know what some softer, appropriate options are, and I'd have to purchase them. I look terrible in khaki/tan/brown, and don't want to be too bold by wearing a bright colors like I often do.
I'm aiming for a polished, but still youthful look.
Thoughts?
