    I think a good quality, well fitting jacket would look absolutely fine with a smart, business-style dress but wear tights, don't go bare legged. Have smart, polished shoes and a nice handbag.

    A pair of smart trousers with a neat shirt would also be acceptable in my view, again with the polished shoes & bag.

    I remember years ago, we were interviewing for an office junior and one girl turned up wearing an oversized t.shirt with a big picture of Mickey Mouse on the front - needless to say she didn't get the job!

    Good luck :)

    I got my job wearing a charity shop suit. If you have the time to go and look round you might find something you like.

    Hi Have you thought about looking in BFW (best friends wardrobe). They may have something you could borrow?
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
