    I'm a big fan of the twin set. A nice skirt or slacks in a neutral colour (navy, grey, black) and a twin/sweater set in a "gentle colour" (soft grey, powder blue, sage green). You can throw on a funky scarf or neat pin/brooch. That is appropriate work attire for a school secretary and it doesn't look like you are going to a funeral. You also don't have to worry about looking more dressed up than the principal. It is also very approachable. I work at a very "needy" school in a low income area and it is very important to not look too, um, "the man."

    Wow! Thanks everyone for the great advice!!!! I ended up buying a fantastic black suit (with skirt) at Banana Republic and a pastel pink fitted blouse. It fits great, and looks really "SHARP." Even though I'm not typically a suit girl, I think you are all right - this occasion calls for a classic, professional look.
    I appreciate all the great feedback!!
    Wish me luck. The interview is next Tuesday! *as she tries to contain her nerves** :grumble:

    Guess I'm a little late to say "Go for the suit" but I'm glad to see you chose to go the professional route and would like to be the first to say "Good luck!!!"

    Suit jacket with skirt or slacks. Everyone, male or female, should own one nice looking suit. Can buy separates at Sears or JC Penney that won't cost you an arm & a leg. Good luck!
