Hey Gurls!
I am interviewing for a fairly prestigious high school tomorrow, and I'm having some trouble deciding on an outfit! I'm going into the IGCSE age group (I think) and their uniform is pretty standard Catholic school uniform, although the school isn't Catholic: knee-length plaid skirt, white button-down blouse, navy blazer, stockings and black shoes. Loose hair and makeup are forbidden
so if I'm accepted I'll have to put on really subtle makeup.
I want to convey that I dress very appropriately and conservatively, but am not frumpy in any way. I want to look studious, professional (to an extent) but still youthful. Quite difficult for me, since I pretty much live in shorts and tank tops (note that I'm young enough for this to be okay)
I was considering wearing seamless underwear, beige tank top (not visible) with a light grey blouse (the blouse has buttons reaching about 1/3 of the way down with floral detail and little sewn lines along them) with a pair of high waisted jeans (no chance of a wardrobe malfunction) and plain black pumps. As for hair and makeup, I was thinking of a fishtail braid with nude makeup (lip balm, bb cream, powder, lightly pencilled eyebrows and subtle mascara), and a very small, silver, engraved locket on a simple, short silver chain, or a silver Africa with animals engraved on it, and small diamond studs.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
