one day last week i went to my first job interview in the new city ... i tried to find a mix of 50s style and still looking professional ... cardi: primark // light peachy coloured dress: orsay (i bought this one to wear it on job interviews - 15€ on sale!) // belt: came with a top // vintage flats: thrifted // 40s bag: ebay ... today i wear the same because in a few minutes i leave the house to be interviewed again.
are you able to wear your vintage looks at work?
I always love your office wear outfits and it makes me wish I could wear vintage to work everyday.
AntwortenLöschenI can't always wear vintage at work due to the nature of my job (and the fact that there is actually a uniform which I have managed to get away with not wearing....) But I do have some 50s dresses and separates which I do wear to work as they are smart enough for the workplace but inject some vintage style! I am keen to purchase more vintage workwear when I get a new job (one that doesn't have a uniform!)
Definitely wear vintage at work, especially interviews. .. my mum used to say I should dress in a professional business suit for interviews but when I wore my own clothes I got the job...you look very smart and crisp here. You will have no problems if you are yourself!
AntwortenLöschenGood luck :)
AntwortenLöschenI always dress "normal" and wear my contacts for interviews, then once I get the job, I wear my glasses and dress in my usual style lol. You look beautiful and professional. Best of luck on the interviews! I hope you get a job you really like :)

I would love to wear vintage at work but unfortunately have to wear a very ugly uniform. (But I do thank that ugly work uniform when I come home covered in gross stuff!)Love your vintage work wear!
AntwortenLöschenersteinmal viel erfolg! ich hab für mein letztes jobinterview auch ein herrlich biederes steifes 50er seidenkleid getragen ... jetzt hab ich den job! und eine anstellung, bei der man sich die meiste zeit der woche nicht kleiden und geben kann, wie man wirklich ist (obwohl frau sich für das salär alle vintagekleider der welt leisten könnte) - no no!
AntwortenLöschenHehe I'd hire you on the spot! That dress is my dream dress, I would love to have 10 dresses like this in different colors - seriously you own the BEST shirtwaist dresses I have ever seen.
AntwortenLöschenHope you got the job :)
Good luck finding a job! Your work wear is awesome, I reeally need a dress like that :D
AntwortenLöschenI think it's best to show your prospective employer(s) a sense of who you are from the get-go, so I say opt for vintage whenever possible at interviews. This look is classic, classy and absolutely lovely - completely appropriate for a job interview.

Lovely outfit! I always wear my 60s suits and shift dresses to work, I do save my brighter outfits for outside of the office though. Wishing you luck with the interview! x
AntwortenLöscheni'm lucky i can wear just about anything i want to work so i can get away with any vintage look i like. hope your job interview went well, you looked lovely!

This is a lovely outfit. Being that I'm a housewife I can wear what I like while 'at work' which is nice :)
