Wow! I cannot believe I found this deal! This Adrianna Papell dress is very similar to a popular Chiara Boni style, that retails for more than double the price of this dress. It’s a very complimentary style on many body types in the interview room. I’m so happy I can share this designer inspired style with you!
Since this piece is more affordable than the Chiara Boni style, I suggest investing in alterations. Just judging from the stock photo, I can see that the sleeves needs to be taken in, or even shortened, to create a younger look.
From the color to the cut, this pink blazer dress is exceptional. Personally, I’m a big fan of blazer dresses because they combine the professionalism of a suit with the femininity of a dress. Typically blazer dresses are used in systems that extend to the international level. The Miss Universe organization is a great example of a pageant system where you’ll see contestants, at all levels, wearing an interview blazer dress.
This one shoulder bow dress is perfect for the interview room, with a small alteration. Unless you’re over six feet tall, the hem of this dress with likely shorten your proportions. Simply asks a tailor to hem the skirt, or if you have some sewing skills this is a simple alteration you can make at home. This dress comes in a variety of colors. However, I reccomend that blondes or redheads wear this darker shade of blue.
