What's New

My girl friend is desperate for a job, but has a promising interview with the manager of Belks Department store, which is the only slightly upscale store in our small Texas town. She is 53, a college grad with some earlier retail experience. What should she wear to help cinch the job? I can buy whatever she needs. I thought of heels and stockings, but I lack judgement in your area. She is beautiful, slim, and sophisticated, but also down to earth. Thank you.

For a job in retailing a suit or dress and jacket with closed toe pumps and ultra sheer stockings would look professional. Since you mentioned that the store where she is applying for the job is in a small  town she can also wear a skirt or pants with a co-ordinating color jacket.  Helpful reading: "How to Dress for a Successful Job Interview" and "The Key to Successful Job Interviewing, Interaction!"
