So I know traditionally the 3 piece suiting is the way to go for job fairs/interviews, ect. I'm attending a job fair this week and have a bit of a dilemma. I am continually losing weight - (5-6 lbs a month) lately and so investing in a tailored to me suit just isn't an option right now.
I picked up a few pieces over the weekend and was wondering if I could get some advice on what you would wear to this job fair. I'm a RN in case you were wondering in regards to which field. I don't have any pictures of me trying on the outfits, but I figured I'd post the stock pictures of the items I'm thinking about pairing. Thanks so much!!
I really like the way the poncho/cape looks with the overall outfit and I saw something similar on display at Brooks Brothers (belted), but I'm unsure. If I wore that, I'd wear it with a long sleeve crew neck black top underneath.
The boyfriend blazer is silk and really nice quality, but it's very shapeless and over sized so I'm afraid with a very tailored outfit, it will look out of place. I love it with jeans, ect - but I'm just not sure for this occasion even though it seems the more obvious choice.
I also have a thin, cream sweater I could wear on it's own (not pictured). Any suggestions would be really helpful! The pants, shoes, bag are all fine - I'm just struggling with what to wear up top I suppose . I want to feel confident and I just don't usually feel that way in suiting pieces that aren't perfect so I am trying to work around it while showing some style and staying professional.
