ellorie Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Has anyone thought about wearing a dress? Could someone give an example of a dress that would be appropriate? I'm considering wearing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Has anyone thought about wearing a dress? Could someone give an example of a dress that would be appropriate? I'm considering wearing one. You could probably consider a dress that could be worn under a blazer or with a dressy cardigan sweater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfinch Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I was thinking about something like this:http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50133&vid=1&pid=781061 That's a pretty sexy dress - with the above knee hemline. Ooo la la. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the comments for the dress someone said it was too low in the front--definitely not desirable for interviews--you don't want to be paranoid about showing too much cleavage or your skirt riding too high as you sit and stand and sit and stand at every station.

DocT7 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Any ideas for hair? I have fairly long hair and can basically do anything with it...

That's true - I didn't notice that the neckline was low. If I could find something dressy like that in wool, but that didn't show too much skin, I'd totally do it with some nice tights and pumps, and maybe a nice jacket.

scissortail Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 What do you guys think of mix and matched suits? I have a matching skirt suit made of grey and black specked wool. I think the blazer looks good with a black dress pants too. Is it ok to make a pant suit from that combination? I'm considering wearing the skirt suit while it's not snowing and the "pant suit" when it starts snowing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larva Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I think the mix-and-match would be fine! Seems like most people go for a black suit, so the grey in the jacket would probably be a nice change. Talking about clothes is much less stressful than waiting for UBC to send out interview invites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I see nothing wrong with mix and match. It's not like the interviewer is going to know that the blazer really doesn't belong with those pants. Plus, it's not like you're planning on matching purple pants to a red blazer or some other odd colour combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMaverick Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 You might not get accepted into medical school, but if you show up in a short skirt and blouse with a plunging neckline you'll probably get to go for a drink with me later.

proton Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Practical question: I'm going to be interviewing in Winnipeg. I'd like to keep my legs from congealing but I only have a skirt suit. Is this going to be fine for my purposes or do I need to get a pant suit? It was so hard to find this one...but I guess wearing long johns with the skirt isn't really a viable alternative no matter how fancy those long johns are.

To be honest, are you really going to be outside that long that your legs will get cold? The buildings themselves will be heated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buildings themselves will be heated. That's true, but I was thinking more of any sort of campus tour or any activities afterward. Since I'm not from there, I don't know if they do anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not that cold Or you can find professional tall boots (NOT over-the-knee) + tights, if you're that worried about cold. I hope that helped!

__bdas51 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 http://www.lechateau.com/style//browse/shopByLooksChildCat.jsp?rcatId=cat90016&category=category%3Acat220126&categoryId=cat210280 This exact look. Red top and opaque black tights included, however lower heels. What do you guys think? Appropriate or not? I'm approx 5'8 so I'd have to see the skirt length on my body first, but from looks alone, thoughts? I was thinking about a dress as well. I'm not much a type for the regular black suit... so just trying to get ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anna8 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I was wondering, what would be an appropriate height for heels? I have this conservative looking shoes but upon measuring its heels it was almost 3". I think it might be too much but it doesn't really look it (it's not stiletto). Thoughts?
