Juice Joins Blue Suit Club
Pursuant to the ludicrous decree from our career services office, several of my classmates went to Casual Corner and purchased the exact same navy blue suit for OCI. -s. may be able to help clarify the numbers here, but I think there were 5 or 6 classmates who showed up to the swearing-in last week wearing identical blue suits. So imagine my immense amusement and joy when I stopped in at Arc's Value Village today (it's practically next door to the Caribou where I was studying) and found THE EXACT SAME SUIT in my size on sale for $6.50! Obviously, on principle, I will refuse to wear the suit to any interviews I may get, and frankly, while the jacket is very nice, I couldn't possibly wear the pants in their present condition. They look totally ridiculous on me with their miscellaneous pleats and crease down the front of the legs and, worst of all, tapered legs. Eeesh. I look like a total idiot in them, and I am left with no choice but to cut them up and turn them into a skirt as soon as possible. Did I mention that it cost $6.50???
Also, just in case you didn't know, it's really hard to type when you have a cat sitting on your hands.

My cats are always trying to sit on the keyboard while I type as well! And the suit find is excellent.
Not only were a number of our classmates wearing the same suit, but one of the professors was wearing it too! It was waaaaay to weird seeing everyone in exactly the same thing. That's why I love Juice's snazzy, brightly colored tweed outfits. It's a welcome change from the Blue Suit Brigade.

I think you should wear the blue jacket with your necktie skirt. Now that would be a professional combo! Don't wear white shoes though, it is after Labor Day.
WHen do interviews start?
Mother-in-law: YES! I was thinking the same thing! The generic blue suit jacket + necktie skirt is exactly the statement I am trying to make!!! Social commentary on the domination of males in the legal profession meets subjugation of feminine style!!! I should wear it to an interview I don't care much about--and afterwards, ask the interview to pose for a picture with me.
Anonymous: (Angela, is that you?) I find out on Friday if anyone is interested in me, and if so, interviews are scheduled for next week.
Great minds think alike UJ. I'd come visit you again but I'm grounded. Did you sell the phone book dress yet? That would probably pay for that new uni-suit. Bargain!
