Thanks to everyone who posted and emailed their opinions on what they thought was a “casual yet stylish” outfit that I should wear to my audition. I’m pleased to show you the photo of the winning outfit at left.
In a tribute to my aforementioned favorite show, “What Not to Wear,” which always offers shopping information after the reveal, I’ll give you a rundown on what I’m wearing and where I bought each item. All told, I spent about $100 to pull it together–not too shabby.
I’ve got on a black tie jacket made of jersey material, with 3/4-length sleeves from the apt. 9 brand, available at Kohl’s. (The image on the Kohl’s website shows the jacket in grey but, like I said, mine is black. I’ve got a black shell underneath it, something I already owned.) My jeans, also from Kohl’s, are Levi’s dark wash boot cut stretch. The shoes were tucked away in my closet (forgot I owned them) and are Joan & David buckle-top pumps in black leather and black patent, with 2 1/2-inch heels. I got them at Nordstrom. Finally, my accessories–the red chunky necklace (shown in orange in this link), earrings (hidden) and tote bag–are from Target.
Once I had this outfit on, I knew it was “it.” Hope everyone agrees!
I’ll let you all know how the audition goes after tomorrow.

Great outfit! And I think everything you bought can easily be worn again in lots of different situations. And doesn’t it sometimes feel good to be wearing something new to an important event?
Good luck!

It’s great when you canmake a new outfit by combining a few new pieces with things you already own. Good luck on the audition!!
I know I said no jeans, but the dark wash and great fit works much better than the other pair you tried. I like it!
