Please please help. I have a job interview tomorrow (and I really, really need this job). I don't have that many suits (work in higher ed, we don't wear suits on a daily basis), but I picked out my favorite, brought it to the dry cleaners, picked it up. I inspected it just now and the jacket now has two small stains that were NOT there before. they are slight, about a nickel to a quarter in size.. they kind of look like the jacket got wet in those spots.. its just a little bit darker. one is right next to the bottom of the jacket and less noticeable, the other is on my chest. i'm trying not to freak out because they are not THAT noticeable, and my hair covers the one in front as long as my hair is over my shoulders and not down my back. do you think this is a huge problem? or if they DO notice, they will think i just spilled something before the interview? i honestly don't know what to do- i guess i could go buy a new suit right now? my others are so wrinkled and the dry cleaners won't take them bc i need them by 7:30 tomorrow morning. one other option is that i could wear a white oxford shirt under a banana republic black shift dress, with no jacket. the only problem here is that i really think you need to wear a suit at all interviews. THOUGHTS??! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

how long is your hair? Can you wear the skirt and a shirt, and carry the jacket? or cover the stain with a scarf? [ Reply | More

my hair is relatively long but not over the top long- like almost to my chest. the stain is halfway between boobs and neck. scarf is not going to work... i guess i potentially COULD carry the jacket, but would that look weird? i'm not sure... [ Reply | More

I guess if the atain is small, I'd just wear the jacket and pretend it's not there. [ Reply | More
