You may have heard, I have an interview coming up. I'm super excited about it. But it leads me to a familiar dilemma: What do I wear?
If there is something I'll never be accused of being, it's a fashionable dresser. I choose function over form, comfort over style. Jeans, sweatshirt, sneakers. And I'm OK with it. But you would understand why that poses a problem for an interview.
I have even been know to put on -GASP- make-up(!) for interviews. Occasionally I have thrown on a pair of earrings, and had my nails done. Today I even splurged on an eyebrow wax, since it looked like there were caterpillars setting up shop on my forehead.
Yesterday I took advantage of Senior Citizen being around and we hit The Boutique. I was searching for something fiscally responsible that would convey the idea that I'm a conscientious professional that can be entrusted with the education of young minds in the language arts.
Here are a couple of the amazing finds I came across:

Now, this little number was certainly within price range. The tag says $7.99, but since seniors get half off, it was only $4.00. It has no buttons, so it must require another piece under it. I hope.
Now, if you look closely, you'll see that this beautiful piece of imitation vinyl is marked for "KIDS". Well, I'm not letting any pre-tween beat me to the punch on this one! The hood is faux-fur lined (unless it's real weasel fur, leftover from unsold Musical Weasel Balls). And the finishing touch is the broken zipper leaving the coat held together by safety pins.
Senior Citizen was touting these as the New Nursing Shoe for 2014, and adamant that Sister Nurse would want to rock these on the unit. I thought they would make a great contrast to the orange and brown hues in my new coat. Who cares they are a size 5 1/2 and I wear a 9? See how there's no back to them? Perfect for taking off when I arrive at the interviewer's office.
But, the ultimate find was yet to be seen...

It's a ... hairy chest shirt?
It's a ... do-it-yourself beard?
It's a ... werewolf?
I put back the white shirt. This was the keeper!
Wish me luck tomorrow. Now, I just have to find images of Mimi from Drew Carey so I can remember how to apply my make-up properly. :)
