Interviewing

It may be a little premature, but I'm starting to obsess over what to wear to interview. So many things look great, but there are so many choices to make. Skirt or pants? I love wearing both...but pants may be more appropriate, less sexy. Or is that me thinking overly well of my gams? Tweed or wool or other? I do love tweed, confirming my suspicion that I was born to wear Chanel, but maybe a classic grey wool would be better.

Confounding my dilemma, all the shoes that catch my eye are either too sassy or taunt me with a sultry "you can't afford me." However...all the books and sites do say to invest in a quality interview outfit....Yeah good luck with that one, self.

I guess if you go too long without buying stuff, you get some irrational I-wants. When it comes down to it, we all know that I'll shop as miserly as Scrooge McDuck, and I won't have fun doing it. Somehow the shopping gene got deleted during transmission in utero, because it's not fun and I'm pretty much worthless after one hour, while my grandmother can go for days. I suppose that's a good thing, though. Otherwise I might be a very well-dressed homeless person. I will definitely be a well-dressed med school applicant. After thousands of dollars for application fees and traveling for interviews, what's an extra couple hundred for a classy suit?
