"We are a very casual work environment, so the suit is not necessary!"

That's the final sentence of the e-mail I received confirming my job interview. The job sounds so perfect for me (right down to its 20-minute reverse commute) I must have written the description in my sleep. I'm so determined to make a good impression, I'm even planning to wash my car!

But seriously, folks, I know it's important to take this "no suit necessary" thing seriously, especially since the company is young-minded and high tech. I'm sure that if I show up in the traditional dark matching (skirt) suit, I'll look like a fuddy-duddy fears thinking out of the box. So I'm thinking that the way to go is business casual. I'll wear my suit jacket, but I'll add constrasting slacks and low-heeled shoes instead of a matching skirt and pumps, plus a shirt in a color other than white. How does that sound?

Have any "casual" jewelry? :D

Keep us posted.

The interview last Monday went fine. I was the first candidate, and they said they'd be interviewing for the rest of the week. The next day, I was about to send off the usual thank you note when I thought, "If I send it now, I might go right down their memory holes. Why don't I send it at the end of the week when I can refresh their memories?" I sent it Friday night, and it turned out to me a master stroke, because the HR informed me that everybody had to go out of town, and the decision has been pushed back a week!
