<br /></div>
<div>
I have had several job interviews & was asked to come for a second time in most of the cases, so I can state that my clothing didn't leave a bad impression.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I have to mention though that I showed up for jobs that didn't involve an elegant dress code (my cousin has such a job, I can ask her what she wore at her interviews, it would be interesting to have more people's opinions here anyway ;) )<br />
<br />
At my first ever interview, I wore a red plaid short-sleeved shirt, similar to the one pictured below (be careful, it shouldn't look too casual! My checkers were small, like in the picture & the shirt had a cord that I could tie around myself to accentuate my middle) with tight black pants or a dark wash denim pencil skirt (I don't remember exactly) with ballerina shoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/?action=view&current=olwv073-rdzoom1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/olwv073-rdzoom1.jpg" width="262" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
At my second interview, for another company, I wore a knitted long-sleeved v-neck pullover with the same black pants. I don't remember if I wore ballerina shoes or heels. BE CAREFUL, pullovers usually look too casual ! If you have a simple, long-sleeved shirt (which I didn't), GO FOR IT ! You can choose a skirt instead of pants, but be careful when it comes to its length. If it's one palm shorter than knee-length, it's okay.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/?action=view&current=gp498993-00p01v01.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/gp498993-00p01v01.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
A month ago, I had 2 interviews for 2 different companies in 1 week. I wore a v-neck shirt, a black blazer, some very confortable fabric pants that I'm very proud of (their colour is metallic grey) & black heels.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/?action=view&current=prod_870.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/prod_870.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At a meeting with a CIO I wore a tight black form-fitting v-neck shirt & a pair of navy pants (not jeans).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will ask my cousin about her interview & will post some suggestions for now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My reccomendations, generally speaking: simple white button-up shirt, skirt (pencil skirts, for example, are awesome. they make you look soooo elegant :) ) or long fabric pants with heels. </div>

<br />
One of my favs, Lily Allen (ignore her facial expression, that is not appropiate for a job interview, lol) ! Very classy & the blouse is somewhat similar to what I wore at the meeting with the CIO.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I had long thought to write about her here as one of my sources of inspiration, but today seems like the right day to do it, cause her latest video, 'Scream', has just been released worldwide:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Put on your 3D glasses for a better viewing experience ;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/?action=view&current=Kelis002003004_177.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="640" src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/Kelis002003004_177.jpg" width="468" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Always ridiculously fit and sexy, Kelis (her name is pronounced 'Kuh-leese') is brave enough to wear about anything and can get away with it. She clearly has the right attitude.</div>
<div>
She may not be the best or most successful singer, but she certainly knows how to stand out.</div>
<div>
<br />
<a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/?action=view&current=kelis4.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b132/fergie-18/kelis4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When she had her first video out, 'Caught out there' (the "I hate you so much right now ! Aaaargh !" song :P), I admired her brightly colored afro mane. It was dyed yellow and red.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She has the same look on the cover of her first album, 'Kaleidoscope'.</div>

Artsy and edgy, this is how it's done: she poses topless, but completely covered in body paint.</div>

For her second video, 'Good stuff', she dyed her afro mane green, blue and yellow:</div>

Her biggest hit was 'Milkshake', off her album called 'Tasty'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This album also had some suggestive but nice artwork:</div>

By the time she launched 'Bossy' & her album 'Kelis was here', she was sporting a short do, then a partially shaved head, way before Rihanna or Cassie did it. She succeeds to look classy no matter what.</div>

Her singles taken off her latest album, 'Flesh Tone', all have beautiful videos. In these times when Lady Gaga's videos show everything that's nasty & filthy out there, Kelis proves that you can make clean & beautiful videos while also not forgetting about the sexy & glam factor (& wearing risque outfits, like she always did & Lady Gaga does now). Her outfits, make-up & accessories are wonderful. Her looks are inspired by tribal warriors, Native Americans & African queens.</div>

What do Kelis' fans think of Lady Gaga? Well... <br />

Kelis has always been edgy and 'to the point'. Lady Gaga seems forced and acts like needs to prove something instead of acting relaxed, like Kelis does. Kelis has nothing to prove. She's always been like that. And gorgeous.</div>

Kelis discussing 5 of her funky looks:<br />

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moral of the story? She doesn't take herself too seriously. You shouldn't do that either. If it's a fun party you're going to, you can choose something more funky, sequined, bright, fetish-inspired. Don't feel bad about it ! It's all about having fun.</div>

Even if you're a fan of high heels, you have to admit that there are days and situations when you want to feel confortable, no matter what. A simple pair of ballerina shoes (or 'ballet flats') can be worn with both sporty and more feminine outfits.<br />
<div>
If you want a pair that can save you in every situation, look for a SIMPLE, BLACK pair, with a small bow. Other details would make it look too elegant, too sporty, or in some cases, just plain weird.</div>
<div>
Something like this pair:</div>

You can wear ballerina shoes with a skirt or dress and pantyhose (optional, depending on the weather).<br />

I am far from being a fashionista, but try to be careful with the way I dress & love to browse fashion collections, blogs, 'hot or not' and 'who wore it best' articles. I'm practical when buying clothes, shoes & bags. Buying simple items will help you a lot, as well as not striving to be a fashionista if you are a normal person like me, or still in school (yes, that would be useless). You should wear nice items that fit you, dress tastefully & spot the trends that never get old. That's it !</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you all enjoy the ride !</div>deessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04474806121162182202noreply@blogger.com0
