Most of the time, I'm business casual, although I try to look put together.<br /><br />Suits have been a non-obligation for about 10 years now around here. A lot of female lawyers even wear jeans to the office and to court!<br /><br />I love my suits, but would hate to wear them everyday, the whole day, especially when just working behind my computer all day, not talking to any clients...Yickenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659061940441701198.post-60353702841275417732010-01-30T18:51:08.585-05:002010-01-30T18:51:08.585-05:00good luck!!!

I LOVE it! It's dark and power-suit-y, but not as harsh as black. I wear a white button down, pearls, and black shoes with it. As I said, I've worn my hair both down and straight or up in a bun of some kind. The latter is for days when I just didn't have enough time/energy/motivation to iron my hair but still want to look like I've got everything under control. <br /><br />The ONLY thing in my interview suit that I think I can get away with some individuality is the color of my pearls. I wear freshwater pearls and I have strings in peach, dark pink, light blue, light pink-pearl, brown and lavender. I could wear the dark pink, light pink and brown strands without them looking odd to an interview, because they're still pearls.A-Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451526362668647500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659061940441701198.post-82498790537691402272010-01-29T16:09:52.884-05:002010-01-29T16:09:52.884-05:00I feel you on the boring conservative lawyer look....I feel you on the boring conservative lawyer look. When I interview I wear a black skirt suit, an oxford shirt in white, pink or blue, stockings, pearls and low black pumps. SNORE. <br /><br />Now that I'm working I still dress pretty conservative but sometimes I mix things up with a fun necklace or shoes. <br /><br />As for the hair issue...I usually wear my hair down and straight. BUT I've been told that I have a tendency to play with it so if I'm doing a trial competition or have a really important case it goes up in a ponytail so I can't obsessively tuck it behind my ear!Law Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084100031819781876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659061940441701198.post-77589698026269209052010-01-29T11:39:33.112-05:002010-01-29T11:39:33.112-05:00I think you're right. If you're interview...I think you're right. If you're interviewing with a creative field or attorneys that represent creative clients, then more individuality may be helpful. If you're a boring conservative lawyer, wear fun undies and keep them to yourself. :)A-Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451526362668647500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659061940441701198.post-41265191337141396062010-01-29T09:15:30.599-05:002010-01-29T09:15:30.599-05:00I think the level of self-expression you can get a...I think the level of self-expression you can get away with in an interview is strongly correlated with the type of position for which you are interviewing. In academia I say go for subtle.Raquelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138113830990586689noreply@blogger.com
