Dear Sue: I am in a quandary as to what to wear to an upcoming interview. The position I am interviewing for is a professional position, which I feel would require the most traditional attire. However, this particular position is involves media interviews, which makes me think I might not want to look too conservative, but rather vibrant and energetic. I look younger than my age, so I wonder if the conservative look would help me look older or just like a little girl in old womans clothing.
If I opt for the most conservative look, I have a navy interview suit that is seven years old and I dont want to be obviously out of fashion, so I am not sure if I should wear it. I'm not a fashion guru and have no idea what to do. Finally, I have hair that is medium length. Is it best to wear it up? Thank you.

Sue Says: When creating your image for an interview or a position, making a fashion statement should not be your main objective, unless you are applying for a job in the fashion industry. You should wear something that is fitting for the job and appropriate for the industry. Youll want to wear something that will not only help you create the best impression, but that you feel represents the real you. If you dress in a conservative suit in order to appear older, but feel like a little girl playing dress up, you are not going to feel or be at your best.
