Appropriate suit?
Hi Ladies,
Posted on here the other day about having my first job interview in 5 years. I don't have a suit to wear so I went out shopping last night to try and find one. That being said, I work in human services so I don't have $300 to drop on a new suit.
I found one that looks nice but it is a 3/4 length sleeve jacket. I live in western NY so the temps are currently 60's-70's. My interview is next week. Is this inappropriate in terms of style or should I *really* try and find a traditional long sleeve one?
TIA!

Re: Appropriate suit?
I would stick with traditional. If you are looking for less expensive options, The Limited has a sale right now on suits. It's buy one get one free jackets, pants, skirts, dresses. So, you could get a jacket and skirt for just the price of the jacket, around $160.
Good luck on your interview! I have one next week, too.
Thanks! Good luck to you as well!

I am the traditional suit camp - do you have any outlets around you? We also have a store called 'Frugal Fannies' that sells suits.
I think you can get a suit for @ $100 - I have had my suit for over 10 years - I got a style that won't go out of style - I just can't gain weight
Good luck in your search and interview!!!
I agree about not having to spend that kind of $. Macy's, Lord and Taylor and JCP have suits on clearance or sale all of the time. I have also found some great suits at Marshall's but it's hit or miss.
Good luck with your interview!
Thanks ladies!
So far I looked at JC Pennys, Lord and Taylor and Ann Taylor. The problem that I am having is that I need the suit separates because I have an hourglass shape. I am having an issue finding ones on sale. I plan on going to Macy's and The Limited this weekend to see if I can find something else.
