Fatshion February Day 17 - Interview attire

I forgot to snap what I wore during my drive down there, but here’s a picture of me post-interview at the North Sharon, Vermont rest stop bathroom. I was one third of the way home and in need of a change. Also, I dyed my hair black because 1) blue hair isn’t the best for job interviews in my field 2) I needed normal colored hair for the wedding and 3) I haven’t dyed my hair black in eight or nine years so I figured it was time to do it. I wore this EXACT outfit to my IV-E interview, so I hope I get the job!

Wrap dress - Kiyonna, bought at the The Voluptuous Vixen in New Orleans. That shop was amazing and this is the most expensive dress I own. It’s also a great travel dress because it’s a slinky, wrinkle-free material I can throw into a bag and put on in a cafe bathroom (like I did that day). Size 12.

Tank - Walmart. Size XL.

Cardigan - Target. Size XL.

Necklace - gift from Boyfriend.

Not pictured - XL opaque black tights from Walmart and black and white saddle shoes gifted to me from a friend in size 8.5.

A side note: I chose this photo because I’m trying to get more comfortable with the shape of my face. My size is something that I’ve never really had a problem with, but the shape of my face is something that I don’t like looking at in pictures. I can’t pinpoint why I think my face looks weird, I just feel like it looks…off. So instead of picking something that I may think look more flattering, I’m going with a picture that shows the shape of my face in an attempt to get more comfortable with it.
