Ok guys, I'm sorry again for how little I've been posting, it's been a really stressful couple of weeks. My Dad just moved cities to move in with his new wife and Scott started a new (overnight ) job. Plus, my private disability insurance company cut me off so I'm no longer being paid. I haven't been fired because I'm appealing their decision, but I only have 30 days to appeal or return to work and unfortunately I know (and my doctors agree) that I'm still not well enough to return to that position.

So, I'm thinking I should start looking for jobs. Now, this is what I get for being out of work for so long...I have no idea what I should wear if I'm distributing resumes and/or if I get called for an interview. My doctors have specific ideas for what I should be looking for (basically it can't be something as stressful as working in a call center) so I'm largely looking for administrative/data-entry type positions. I'm also looking at some overnight positions (mostly in hotels) because my sleep schedule is still so screwed up.

Anyways, that's where you guys come in. I have no female friends in town and I could really use some advice on what to wear. I have very little that fits me so I had to go and buy a couple of small things...but I've kept the tags on everything in case I change my mind. I'm going to show pictures of the two different outfits and could really use some input.

Here's the first one...it's a skirt. I like this one the most but I know some people may not like the boots and I have no other shoes (plus I have the ankle problem). I can't afford new shoes right now so I would have to go with the boots if I wore this outfit: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/Vicam7/workclothes.jpg

The second outfit is more "business-like" but I can't figure out whether I should tuck in the shirt or not I know that's stupid but I just don't know what people are doing these days. Scott keeps telling me it should be tucked but I feel like that makes me look like a boy and prefer it untucked. I should also point out that I have a better camisol type thing to wear under it but I didn't have it when I took the picture, so the tank top underneath wouldn't be as obvious:

Tucked-In: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/Vicam7/workclothes1.jpg

Un-Tucked: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/Vicam7/workclothes3.jpg

One other option I guess would be to wear the black top with the black pants...but I thought that might be too much black. It's a nice black cashmere sweater (if that helps).
Thank you soooo much
