It's entirely possible that you are the bomb. But your resume should say that, not your clothes.
Delia's, $24.50
Yes, it's normal to want someone to hire you. But there's no need to go overboard.
Urban Outfitters, $24
Not only should you avoid wearing these in a job interview, you should avoid wearing them ever.
Modcloth, $17.99
From a distance, your potential employer won't be able to tell if your top is fashion-forward or if your bra strap is showing. Better save this one for hanging out with your girlfriends.
The Gap, $44.99
No matter how cute your flip-flops are, they're never appropriate for a job interview. Well, maybe if you're applying for a job as a lifeguard, but even then we wouldn't chance it.
Old Navy, $3.50
A necklace shaped like semen? Um, yeah. We don't even need to explain why this is a bad idea.
Leah Piepgrass, $420
Your mom didn't think this shirt was funny, and your boss won't either.
Bad Idea Shirts, $7.50
You want to look mature in an interview, and wearing a onesie is not the way to accomplish that.
Forever21, $24.80
Before wearing any skirt or dress to an interview, practice sitting in it to make sure the length is appropriate. This dress probably wouldn't pass muster for an interview, but it's perfect for a night out.
Net-a-porter, $385
It's entirely possible that you are the bomb. But your resume should say that, not your clothes.
Delia's, $24.50
There's nothing wrong with showing your personality through your accessories - but you might want to choose a printed scarf or dangly earrings instead of this wacky headgear.
Opening Ceremony, $95

Obviouslt you shouldn’t wear any of these! …well maybe the lace bike shorts! LOL kidding.
We write in our book, “Be Your Own Best Publicist” that everything you do, wear and say will be used for/against you. Consider your audience when dressing for an interview. We like to say, “Don’t wear a ballgown to a ballgame.” Dress the part that you are “up” for. Do your research before walking in the door. That said, when in doubt, err on the dressy side.
