Voila!<br />Hope you can workaround some ideas from those tips.<br />Cheers!Psycho Babbling Basherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232755958213827818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-15916711617094366872011-02-18T04:58:14.882-05:002011-02-18T04:58:14.882-05:00Ah, the terrible voyage of finding appropriate int...Ah, the terrible voyage of finding appropriate interview clothes - it's not like the interview itself is stressful enough lol.

Thanks for feeling the finding clothing abroad pain, bro.<br /><br />Amber: It is a spectacular thing that I can't fit into the clothes anymore, but it just becomes pressing for me to find something! Isn't it messed up how I am more worried about finding some clothes than the actual interview? :-P<br /><br />Jay: I really don't know any women over here who are my size or body shape. I suppose that I could ask a man, but then I would be wearing men's clothes! Eek!<br /><br />Jess: I'm considering a jacket/blazer and skirt ensemble. Despite having bought 7 dresses last month, NONE of them are good enough for an interview. :-P<br /><br />-BarbThe Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294653760778922184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-14379922314990187522011-02-17T20:26:27.420-05:002011-02-17T20:26:27.420-05:00what about a dress instead of pants? that way you ...what about a dress instead of pants? that way you won't have to worry about finding a pair that fits properly on such short notice. good luck!!!!!jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869251724340091130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-9536593862607158082011-02-17T18:26:28.677-05:002011-02-17T18:26:28.677-05:00Yeah, that little thing says that I'm in Port ...Yeah, that little thing says that I'm in Port Hadlock, Washington. I've never even heard of that place. As for your predicament, any friends your size whose closets you can raid? That's really my only idea. Or get some fabric and sew a skirt? I'm sure there are patterns on the Internet.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497701961484073131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-33461150886990537192011-02-17T17:37:10.561-05:002011-02-17T17:37:10.561-05:00Ugh, I would hate to be in your predicament.

But the good thing is that you don't have clothing to fit because you LOST weight, as opposed to the opposite.<br /><br />That seems to be my problem.<br /><br />Good luck, Barb!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-54659726050132540402011-02-17T17:35:18.657-05:002011-02-17T17:35:18.657-05:00I know your pain.
