As long as I get half and you are wearing the red shoes in the pictures...

70/30 and pink wedges for us both.

I'm a day late and a dollar short - as always! But I want to wish you good luck, Sarah! I know you'll do awesome!

Thanks, Robin!

I'm actually not even nervous anymore, just eager to get there and learn as much as I can.

:hug: Grats on doing something proactive for womens' health rights! I'm a huge fan of darker suits with pinstripes. I found a pair of great black slacks with very small white and pink pinstripes running through them awhile back--they're my -favorite- dress pants :D

So...I wouldn't be averse to you wearing a black suit with pinstripes and a pink blouse of some kind :D I'm not a huge gray fan. Though whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll look powerful ;) As soon as you try the "right one" on, you'll just know.

Let us know how it goes!

GOOD CHOICE!!!
Try New York and Company (most all my work clothes come from there)
or Charlotte's Ruse or Express.... These guys usually have nice suites without looking "old lady like" if ya know what I mean and usually under $100.
GOOD LUCK!!!
You'll look amazing I'm sure! :wuv:

I'll be sure to post pics and an update!

I'll try to be more open-minded tomorrow while I'm shopping. I couldn't believe no one had dark grey, maybe it's just not 'in' this season. :disbelief:crazy:

The weekend has come and gone. Did you find anything.

Oh yes, I did!

Becky and her mom came up on Saturday and helped me shop. We found a great dark grey suit with white pinstripes. The top I bought is a strange dark pink/almost red color, it will look great.

I'm going to take the jacket in to my alterations lady here in just a bit, to see if it's possible for her to shorten the sleeves just a bit by closing time tomorrow. She's done rush jobs for me before, so I think she will be able to do that. I really needed a petite size 6 blazer, but they only had the one I wanted in a regular 8. It still looks good on me, but I'd be more comfortable if the sleeves were just a touch shorter. I'll get her to take my picture while I'm there wearing it!

And I still need to find some shoes. Busy day today!

Oh, after all the shopping, Becky and her mom went out to the karaoke dive we like with us and a few of our friends. I'm not sure mom will ever recover, my friends are a bit....crazy.

GREAT!!!!! I'm sure that you will get many ocassions to wear the new suit.

If you can wear heels: black, pointy closed toe, ~2" spike heels, thin strap back.
