um, that suit is gorgeous!! I am insanely jealous- the best out TJ Max had is probably Ann Klein.

I like #2.

thanks for all the input! I'm seriously considering pairing the manolos with the cream shirt (I should have taken a shot of that...) but after ayo gave her blessing on the pollini pumps, I'm feeling better about those...


oy... decisions, decisions.  I think I may try them on for my husband and see what he thinks (he's out of town and coming back tomorrow - interview is next Tuesday.)


another thought - there's a friend of mine, who, if they saw me with the purple jacket and cream ruffles would say "who are you supposed to be, Prince?"


hmmm...

ooh no! too funny...haha

I really think the shoes should make an appearance..


hmm maybe a different style shirt?

actually, he said it to me when I was wearing an apple green velvet jacket and a white lace ruffle blouse... I also had black pinstripe cropped pants on with it - got some pirate comments on that outfit that day as well... so no - he did not see this specific pairing... do you think it looks at all "Princely?"


I don't want to be in the interview, having the guy thinking the same thing!

ooh I see...my bad, I totally misunderstood. Uhmm no I don't think it looks costumey at all. I honestly think it looks great. It's polished with a bit of pizazz..


I also like the idea of wearing the manolo's with the cream shirt..I think that would look great too..and might make you feel more comfortable which is also important


Sorry I feel like I'm confusing matters

that would be hilarious! I know it's unlikely that they'll read the post, but I know for a fact they've been in here today -- so you never know...

I like #1 best. HOW did you find that suit? I never, ever, ever find deals like that at the TJMaxx's around here...! Well done, and you look smokin'!

Well, I liked both outfits and didn't want to vote, so I didn't respond. I definitely didn't think Prince when I saw #2. But, and this is just me, if someone had said that to me, I probably wouldn't be able to get it out of my head and would not feel confident in the outfit. I think ruffled shirts and suits are nice together. Maybe its just the purple/white combo that is triggering the comments?

I really like #2 with either pair of shoes...if you feel too "Purple Rain"-ish (I wouldn't have picked that up until someone mentioned it) then go with the bronze heels. Either way, you'll look gorgeous!

I was hoping you'd respond - I was curious which you would pick.  yeah - the whole Prince thing was for a totally different outfit (the only people that have seen me in this suit are STers!) I mentioned it just in case it might look "costumy" --  I've decided that it doesn't.


So, I'm going with #2.  The shoes will be determined day of.  I'm on the fence - either pair would look good... I'm also going to wear my chunky pearl necklace, and probably hot roller my hair.  I'll post a pic of myself that day so you can all see the final product.


Thanks, everyone, for all your help!

I vote for #2 with the shoes, which are to die for, BTW.
