Been a stay at home mom for the past few years and an job opportunity just came up. I agreed to meet the company next week but it dawned on me that I have ZERO clothing to wear.
Have been living in shells and shmattas the last few years.
Can anyone help with links for FLATTERING clothes that I can wear to this meeting? Preferably on Amazon or something with quick shipping. Currently like a size 10-12 so it must be flattering!!! Maybe a long skirt or something.
Please help!!

Knit blazers are very in. With a skirt, shell or blouse.

For curvy, wear a light open blazer or cardigan over a darker shirt and skirt, or solid dress, in the same color: Black, navy, charcoal, or brown, depending on your coloring.
Make the blazer or cardigan a brighter, contrasting color. It does make you look slimmer.
If a dress, look for a sheath dress or a shirt-dress, possibly a wrap dress.
I don't usually order clothes from Amazon, but that's what I'd look for.

Thanks! That's what I had in mind but I don't own a single skirt that fits:(

Thank you so much. Does this shell run very tight? I don't have a single skirt, can't have something that's too clingy in the rear cut I feel huge there...any ideas are appreciated!

I also favor a narrow skirt, not a flared one, but with that long over-shirt or tunic that covers the tush.
And anyway you have a right to look yeshivish.
Wear earrings and lipstick.
You will be sitting in a chair for the interview. Past an initial impression, the interviewer will not see the bottom of your body, but will have plenty of time to think about your crisp shirt, long blazer, lipstick, and your obvious intelligence.
Look crisp. You aren't going to look thin. The interviewer isn't thin either.
In fact the best way to get a job is to look as much as possible exactly like the interviewer.
It is almost worth it to skulk and lurk around the entrance incognito, to see how people dress there. You can lose a job by looking dressed more formally than everybody else. If they look schmatta, you look schmatta in the same exact way, and that's the way in.

Size up 1 size in the shell.
I wish I had a skirt link for you. I haven't had success on Amazon with skirts except for long maxi straightish stretch skirts, which work with the cardigan, but only if you're going for that look at an interview.

Can you link a good maxi straight stretch skirt (not a slinky skirt, right?)
Which cardigan does that go with, the black?
