I have been all over town, engaging in my least favorite activity: trying on clothes in dressing rooms. I've walked out empty-handed again and again. Seriously, I have done this on four separate shopping trips, even though I had money in my hand, earmarked for just this occasion.
Ugh, this is as hard as the resume cover letter, possibly harder.
I dream of a closet like a successful businessman has, appropriate shirts lined up on the hangers, neatly pressed, an array of similar pants, ties, jackets. They all fit, look good and are prete a porter. All he has to worry about is not mixing his patterns or clashing his colors.
Is there a feminine equivalent of his closet?

yeah K, mine sorta. well until it crashed down (the hanging bar) two weeks ago and Peter has just fixed that yesterday... so now I gotta put it all back in order neatly, what was neatly ironed and color sorted... well, not as neatly as your photo, but almost. for your interview I would suggest something business woman like, like a skirt with a blazer, flat shoes, unless you want to implement another picture of you. but this outfit says I'm reliable and efficient. I just have a problem finding stores who sell big sizes, and I hate dressing rooms, too. you start sweating, the sales clerk tells you that it all looks lovely on you, eventhough you know it sucks! so I order my stuff out of catalogues, but I also have exactly TWO stores downtown who sell my size AND are affordable. so good luck on the clothes hunt and choice! you can do it!!!

Two words--silk blazer. Then it depends on the type of job. Some you can get away with jeans and a nice shirt, some have to have slacks and--horror(!)--some have to have dresses. A silk blazer makes every outfit look a bit more professional. (PS Thrift stores are often good cheap places to pick these up. Try the Discovery in Henderson Center.)
Thanks, guys. After I posted that I went one an online search.
Word: wear a skirted suit. I'm going back to Ross, which sometimes coughs up just such a thing.
