HELP! Interview w/ F500, Nothing to Wear!
I'm a girl and currently a sophomore and I have an on-campus interview with a F50 company for a summer finance internship. No clue on what to wear and it's my first interview so I don't actually have anything suitable to wear, atm. Hoping to do some shopping this weekend but I'm on a tight budget. I was thinking of finding a blazer and pairing a nice dress over it, but I'm not sure if that's formal enough.
Any suggestions? Only a few days left.
Wear what you wear out on a Friday night - and pick your sluttiest outfit ;) That'll get you the job, no questions asked.

I feel bad that most of the responses will be smartass, but I think the blazer/dress is fine. Where the lady monkeys at?
Blazer and dress are enough. Add some decent heel shoes.
If you can't find any, then you can always get a pair of suit trousers, a goood shirt and heels. Maybe it's even cheaper.
Go to Ann Taylor, buy a conservative, dark pantsuit or skirtsuit. Tell the saleslady you're interviewing. She'll help you out.
No, I don't shop at Ann Taylor, but I've been dragged there on occasion. I know female bankers who wear it. I'm not a girl and I'm not claiming it's perfect but I think it'll work.
I also remember one woman recommending another lady go to Barney's once. They will have someone who knows what they're doing work with you on this, but they sound really really expensive. For F500, I don't think you need a $1000 outfit. I think you need something conservative and classical from Ann Taylor or Talbot's or one of those womens' stores.
If all else fails, go to JCP or Macy's and find a white older saleslady who looks like some middle-class empty nester who's only working there because she'd be bored at home. She will know what to have you wear. And if you need them, try to find a dry cleaner's that can do alterations while you wait. Don't wait a week for JCP or Macy's to do it for you.
Considering you are on a tight budget, the smartest thing to do would be to go to T.J.Maxx. You'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for.
I wouldn't over think it either, get a jacket and suit pants, and some ok shoes. It's your first interview, don't over think the attire.
The only thing you have to do is look clean and presentable, what will matter the most are the answers to the questions you get asked.
You can wear formal shirt with blazer and pants.
