I love the white one up the top!! That would be great for someone getting married who didn't want a formal wedding dress... sometimes "older brides" have something like that, or even 2nd marriages etc... I love it even just as a suit though!!!

i love all those suits!  i don't wear white much though.  i'd like that green suit in navy.  that would suit me well!

where did you find those pics?

hahahaha, that's funny Sharon.  I think my head is too little or I just don't have a nice enough face to wear them.  But I like them too.  They're just as expensive as the suits themselves though so I have never gotten the hat yet.

Kris, I got those pics from www.womensuits.com (http://www.womensuits.com) and www.jcpenny.com (http://www.jcpenny.com)

OK, ladies, I still have my heart on finding that pink/black tiny plaid- suit we had in another thread like this last year.  I can't find it!   :cry2:

oh my word .  .womensuits.com . . . tons of very, very nice suits!  not the pink one you're looking for, but i found one in tan that i so wish were in black!!  lots of hats, too, for the hats wearers.

who'd a thunk it?  womensuits.com . .  i'm so sure.

of course, in looking at them, i am yet again reminded why i go resale shopping for my suits . . .  why is my taste SO expensive?

I remember that thread. I think it's long gone. I believe it was from Easter last year. Was the suit pink and black plaid? ? ?

woohoo!  You go girls!  Those suits rock! I love the grey and pink one. 

Yes, NessasMama, that was the one, pink/black plaid.  I kept it in the back of my mind all year, I should have saved the site it was on.

I so love suits!!!!!!! I am waiting for one to come in the mail before I order me one for Easter.

This is the one I am waiting for. I have no idea what I want to get for Easter though.

speaking of suits......................WHAT would be a good interview suit?  for myself for a job interview?  I am clueless at fashion, so would use some input!!

sharo
Title: Re: Spring Dreams
Post by: Amelia Bedelia on February 27, 2007, 12:27:34 AM
not a long skirt suit as they are seen as too trendy

some even recommend NOT wearing a suit depending on the type of job - you can also ask sometimes what would be appropriate to wear... try to match the culture they have there and up it a notch or two (if it is ultra casual then up it even more LOL)

black is out - power suits can give off the wrong impression if you aren't careful... though if black is your most conservative color and you are going to wear a suit, don't worry about it
navy is a good interview color, its not flashy and it brings authority but not too much

simple lines - not ruffled and frilly

thats a start...hope it helps
Title: Re: Spring Dreams
Post by: newkris on February 27, 2007, 12:32:30 AM
that's what i was thinking, too.  you're a nurse, though, right?  so you could wear black - as long as you paired it with something light, pastel - you seem to look good in yellow.  no reason not to wear a yellow blouse and a skirt. 

you're not going to the interview to be CEO, right?  so wear what you think is comfortable, appropriate, dressy for work.

you'll do fine.  what kind of interview, if i can ask?
Title: Re: Spring Dreams
Post by: NessasMama on February 27, 2007, 01:59:53 AM
Any time I have gone for an interview I wore a skirt and a neat blouse. It was dressy yet comfortable and not overbearing.
Title: Re: Spring Dreams
Post by: Envelope on February 27, 2007, 02:40:10 AM
well, yes, I am a nurse.

A lady at church is trying to talk me into applying at her company, it's a pharmaceutical research firm.  She ASSurES me she can get me an interview, and 99% sure I can get a job there.  It would be working from home (so I wouldn't need daycare for the girls) with starting pay around $50,000 per year or more. 

The position would be mostly customer relations and data entry.....

I have ONLY had 2 jobs in my LIFE (one at mcdonald's and the other at Mercy----where I worked as an RN for 10 years).

My wardrobe is "somewhat lacking" LOL

I have a Very bright GREEEN suit, a bright YELLOW suit, and a couple of other church outfits.  My casual wardrobe is REAL casual (I have several "colored" straight skirts---cause I don't like jean skirts)..........

Title: Re: Spring Dreams
Post by: JoleneHeather on February 27, 2007, 04:26:17 AM
Your safest bet is a dressy strait lined (no trumpet or flirty style) skirt that is above the ankles.  (not a to the grounder) and a nice blouse that is simple.  Then you don't look to stuffy, but you don't look to casual either.
Title: Re: Spring Dreams
Post by: *Christi* on February 27, 2007, 05:50:17 PM
I agree...

How about something like this (in black or tan, not the purple):

(http://media.redcatsusa.com/is/image/roamans/mm/0525_38503_mm.jpg?wid=230&hei=331&qlt=95&op_sharpen=1)
http://www.roamans.com/clothing/A-line-skirt-solid.aspx?PfId=100273&DeptId=9841&ProductTypeId=1&PurchaseType=0

With maybe something like this:

(http://media.redcatsusa.com/is/image/roamans/mm/0756_24286_mm.jpg?wid=230&hei=331&qlt=95&op_sharpen=1)
http://www.roamans.com/clothing/Drop-needle-sweater-cardigan.aspx?PfId=96403&DeptId=9822&ProductTypeId=1&PurchaseType=0

Or I find this to be very classy and business-like.  I would suggest it in either the ink blue, navy or grey:

Ok, so I never bought anything new for Easter for myself.  I got Hannah a new outfit and Andrew a new pair of slacks.  My digital camera broke right before Easter so I didn't get any pictures. 

However, Hannah is starting school this fall, whoo hooo kindergarten!   :clap:  Yes, well, I was looking modest sites up again for longer skirts to buy her for school.  I always look under the Jewish sites and have looked at this one before but prices aren't marked so I KNOW it's expensive!  In the light of our fun fashion thread though, I thought I'd post the site and some cool outfits.

I dare someone to call for a price!!!  I'm too chicken, especially if they don't speak good English! 

Some of these are VERY modest, but chic too.

I'm supposed to be in Brooklyn soon... the shop doesn't sound too far away from where I'll be staying.... think I should just stop in?  LOL
some of the suits on sale were only $99

wedding gown on there was 965 or so... not bad for a custom designer gown really

so nice to see dresses that are gorgeous and don't require lots of skin to be "head turners"  lol  and they aren't overpowering... you would be able to wear the dress without the dress wearing you

I absolutely love that first blue outfit you posted... too cute!

I'm in the process of getting school uniforms for the kids right now, I'm being creative though! Tights with designs for Hannah, and some shirts other than polo's for Andrew.
