A Wardrobe that "Works" for You...

In today’s tight economy and with the unemployment rate soaring, finding a new job is top priority for many women. When it comes to job interviews, choosing the right outfit, at an affordable price, is simple thanks to the experts on the Balancing Act.

“What are you wearing?” is a common question among women when preparing for special events. The Balancing Act posed this question to JoJo Cohen, Fashion Editor and Stylist from New York City. In this case, the special event was a job interview. As women seek employment during a tough economy, finding the perfect outfit at an affordable price is not an easy task.

According to JoJo, dressing for a job interview means selecting an outfit that is stylish and trendy yet serious and flattering. How to accomplish all of that without breaking the bank? JoJo opts for the women’s clothing and accessories from Chadwicks. Four-piece ensembles that can be mixed and matched sell for under $100! Viewers will want to tune in for her expert advice and the great looks from Chadwicks which are featured on the show.

The staples in any career woman’s wardrobe are:

• Shift dress
• Pencil or A-line skirt
• White, button-down blouse
• Traditional slacks
• Sweater set
• Blazer

JoJo recommends that a wardrobe be built on neutral colors such as brown, black and gray because they are versatile and professional. Shoes, belts and scarves are a great way to add a touch of color and personal style without spending a lot of money on trendy items that will be “out” next season.

The do’s and don’ts for interview outfits and career-wear:

• Avoid over-accessorizing; delicate jewelry or a scarf expresses individuality without being over-powering.
• When buying new outfits for an interview or return to the workforce, choose ensembles that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of looks.
• Ensure that shoes, shoulder bags and other accessories are in good condition.
• Do your homework about the company and dress in a way that is in-keeping with the organizational culture and policies. Your personality can be expressed in your wardrobe but it should be done in a way that is appropriate.
