Interview Navy

Black shrug, INC. Black lace blouse, Newport News. Navy skirt with black pinstripes and black lace trim, Moda International. Orange slip and gold-tone earrings, thrifted. Black pumps, Bandolino.



I maybe lied a little yesterday. My navy and white wrap dress wasn’t actually my first item of navy clothing. Way back in 2003, I bought a navy suit to prepare for upcoming interviews as I transitioned back to civilian life. It wasn’t difficult to incorporate into my wardrobe, though, because it has black pinstripes and is trimmed in black lace. For interviews, I paired it with a black tank and black pumps without a second thought.

I rarely wear the jacket, though. It seems too big or too formal or both for everyday work. I only whip it out for interviews.

Brown and White

“Decadently rich chocolate and creamy white – a delicious pair that’s always in good taste.”

White lace blouse, Newport News. Brown cami, Forever 21. Brown slacks, Moda International (the twin of the khaki slacks I wore yesterday). Brown pumps, Mossimo. Brown bead necklace (doubled).

The last day of “I Scream”-inspired outfits. I would have preferred to wear my crazy hospital dress over the brown cami and pants, but I have an interview today, so I thought I should dress a bit more conservatively.
