If Wishes (or Interviews) Were Fishes

What does one find inspiration for what to wear to interview at a place full of fishes and other denizens of the deep?

Almost…*

Lobster dresses are always an option.

So are Fendi fish scales.

Why stop at just scales? Rodarte did a line inspired by Siamese fighting fish…

And there’s always this AMAZING whale dress

But if I really want to make an impression, there’s only one option:

Yep, eight arms or nothing.

But I don’t think I can fit the extra appendages in my carry-on luggage, so maybe this dress. Ocean colors, a pattern reminiscent of water bubbles, with a blazer and my pewter shark pin swimming upon a lapel.

*Of course Ursula would be my inspiration over Ariel. The lady-octopus had fabulous jewelry and was purple.

  1. Your dress is beautiful and I LOVE the shark pin! When I was a kid, my aunt was friends with the woman who did Ariel’s voice (Jodi Benson) and she was coming to visit! I was BESIDE myself to meet her… then she showed up and was BLONDE! BLONDE! I never got over it.

    • Well, at least you had the red hair. When I was little, I thought that Jodi Benson must be married to Robby Benson (who voiced The Beast in Beauty and the Beast).

  2. You’ll look great; professional, but not dull.

    I’m crossing all of the fingers on all of my arms. If only I had eight!

  3. I love the subtle ocean references–if you had the full-on Ursala get-up they might consider you overqualified. Good luck on your interview!! (Oh, and Ursula scared the crap out of me when I was little. I’m only now starting to forgive her.)

  4. You are going to rock the socks off this interview!! I mean really, you know how to dress for the part!!
    Go Katie!
