    Wear the same suit, change your blouse and maybe wear a smart scarf.
    Good luck!
  • That's a good point. You can JUST wear a scarf under the suit and no-one will be any the wiser - I'm sure you could borrow a long chiffon scarf if you don't have one. This means that any old t-shirt would do under the suit, as no-one could see it anyway...

    I doubt that ANYONE will notice it's the same suit if it's just a bland business suit. The colour you wear under it is far more likely to be noticed :)
    Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).
  • Thanks to everyone, the unanimous vote for the suit has certainly reassured me that it's the way to go :)

    (and I do realise I'm probably only fretting over the small stuff because I can't control the big stuff, like whether they will think I'm a good fit for the job!)

    And I like the idea the suit is lucky! It certainly seemed lucky to find a suit that fits me so well for a tenner!

  • hope you got the job , totally agree with the advice you were given, I wore the same suit several times (different blouses)
  • I can barely remember candidates' faces let alone their couture. Don't worry about it.
