So Beautiful ~ So Ugly
I do love a beautiful/hideous or weird/unusual fabric, pattern or colour combination
I love a fabric that makes me go "Huh?"
What were they thinking?
"You know what, we need to put aqua and olive green together in an ugly floral polyester"
"And then add some solid aqua panels to the bodice."
A little interpretive dance for you. You're welcome.
I wore:
1960s frock - Op shopped
Hair flower - Cheap junk jewellery shop
So I guess they were impressed by my glasses, as I received notice late this afternoon
that they would like me to come in for a second interview on Monday.
In preparation for the interview, they sent me
the Position Description, which lists the following tasks:
* As a member of a team, undertake project work in a functional area.
* As an individual carry out less demanding reviews or project work.
* Prepare draft guidelines and draft replies to difficult or complex representations.
* Exercise internal reconsideration delegation for access decisions made by lower level staff.
* Liaise and where necessary negotiate with clients and other interested parties.
* Supervise staff in a work unit and allocate casework.
* Assist in the development and implementation of local work plans.
Blah blah blah... have you ever seen anything so ridiculous riddled with nonsensical jargon generic?
It might as well read:
* Do some things
* Do those things good
* Talk to people
* Write some words
* Help other people do some stuff
* Don't suck
Any suggestions for second interview outfits?
Happy weekend everybody... don't wear yourselves out with all that
exercising of internal reconsideration delegation!

My lovely Sarah, you look so marvellouse with your hair down.
You look like a wood fairy.

Besos.

I LOVE that dress you look gorgeous in it But then you always look gorgeous even in wacky 80s sporty outfits ha.Good luck with that job hope you love it bet you get it xx
The pink brought you luck, Amor!
That frock and you are both beautiful. I want to kidnap you in the campervan and make you come to Glastonbury with us. xxx
Sarah, you look like a forest goddess!
The dress color is beautiful and I love seeing your hair out.
You should wear black with something red because something red will bring you good luck and strength.
Well, I think you already have both!
I am starting to think nothing can look bad on you :) and you have such pretty hair! Congrats on the second interview...interviews, blah....what ever you wear you will own that look!
Funny video, who are these guys?
i hate job interviews! i'm sure you rocked it though, i would've hired you based on the shoes alone! Who knows what inspires people to make certain patterns and fabric, BUT i am TELLING you..if you chopped that dress to more of a shorter/mini dress, you'd be totally hot and on point. seriously! can you imagine walking into a party with that dress as a mini with some killer shoes? people would LOVE it, so maybe just have to rethink how you wear some of those crazy fabrics. :)
i love the karate chop. ;D

i actually rather wear hideous color combos than listen to/read corporate speak. YUCK! I will take the aqua dress!!!
My favorite color combo for a job interview is navy blue with white. It connotates as sincere, honest and hard working. Trust me, this color combo GETS you the job.
Speaking of...Liase...I've never seen that thrown in casually in a sentence. Generic is a nice way to put it- I'd say a cottonball mouth full of bullshit. Using "big" words but making less sense is pretentious, not to mention ineffective- 2 cardinal sins in my book.
What makes up for that is your interepretive dance. I too, interpretive dance. It's like we were twins separated at kindergarten. Well, sort of. xo. Bella Q
Freakin' awesome beautiful/ugliness!! I can tell just by these pix that it must be that nylony/slightly fluffy polyester???Great floral pattern,though!You look YUM in it,especially with that hair down and flowing like Lady Godiva.(ooo,now there's a theme!)
O,my,the job description is hilariously bland!!!! As long as they pay well,feck it!
LOVE YOU!!!
XXXXXXXX
I like that dress, Sarah, it's not ugly at all - don't think anything is on you, you wear your clothes with panache my dear!
Job descriptions are hilarious, aren't they? Did you ever read one that seemed remotely like an actual job that real people do? Good luck with the second interview - do you feel it's time for a little more Misfit to leak out, or do you save that for later, when you're IN?!
You'll look fab whatever you choose.
Ooooh I do like a bit of hideous beauty myself too. Except you make this dress look bloody gorgeous!! Nice bit of interpretive dancing there Jill!!! Second interview? Hmmmm ... all I can say is ... what would Jill wear? Haaaaaaaaaa!! Watching the 2nd series now and ended up having a major phlemy coughing fit for about an hour last night. Have to get another packet of Fisherman's Friend for tonight's madness. I think I have to watch it all again. You know, really give myself a heart attack. If I had a second interview I would wear green. No brainer;))) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Congratulations on getting a call-back, Sarah! Gah, I hate that corporate-speak. It doesn't mean anything!
I love the ugly-beautiful fabric on that dress. I can't help it!
so bad but looks so good...good luck with that there interview!!
But somehow it all works! This dress has a very Ophelia like feel to it for me. What is the job for? Those generic descriptions are always bollocks - its like they just download a generic description from some site like "Generic Job Descriptions Are Us" and use it for every position going in an office from the mail room to management.
Yup, wanky managememt-speak job description soooo irritating!
But i'm loving the jolie-laide frock, and on you it's more jolie than laide. I like the colours together, and think they suit your colouring. The whole thing looks great with the hair down - you look like you have just finished singing backup vocals for Fleetwood Mac at a 70s festival and one of the Led Zeppelin crew just passed you a funny smelling hand rolled cigarette.
And that was a compliment of course, but you know that.
The frock is a bonkers fabric but you're pulling it off entirely xx
