I'm totally going to clean out my closet this week. But I'm also going to refer Mr. Foot to YOU when I tell him I need a whole new wardrobe, because everything must go. Okay, you’ve inspired me.

Jeans might be as appropriate as a nice suit. Wearing too fancy or to crappy clothes will cause a bad impression and make you look ridiculous. <br/><br/>If you're freelance or has ever worked in a place where nice clothing is required there should be no need to go out and buy something. You should have a suit, or make sure to buy one, that looks good and fashionable year after year. A nice suit rarely goes out of style unless it's 30 years old. But if you buy cheap crap it will not look nice in a year. <br/><br/>The basic advice of being early and overdressed is good but be careful with too nice clothing. Depending on your audience it can make you look snobby, clueless, and out of touch. Always ask ahead of time what applies. If you don't know, wear something that is not too dressy but will fit in almost anywhere. <br/><br/>If someone came to me in jeans I would never hire them. But I work in the financial markets.

I met a family recently while doing a photo job and I had to tie ALL their ties for them. What IS this world coming to? honestly. I’m always astounded by how many people just can’t dress for work.

Where was this post a month ago? I think I may have to go out and find something to replace my interview sweatsuit pronto! Okay, so it's not a sweatsuit, but it's the same black suit jacket I wore when I interview for my first job out of college. I'm sad, I know. Help me! Okay, dear. Where was this post a month ago?
