I'm a freelance writer in Milwaukee, writing mostly about local arts, entertainment, bars and clubs. I don't really know what to wear when I interview bartenders or shop keepers etc. We usually meet in a coffee shop or something ( I'd also love to know what to wear while writing there, at my "office" ). It shouldn't be super dressy, I know. But, I don't want to look like a slob either because I'm representing the magazine or paper. They never give me any guidelines. I'm assuming I should be able to leave an interview and go on with my day, doing errands or something, and looking "normal." I'd love any suggestions you have.
What a great job, Maggie, it sounds like fun! I think that if you dress in a polished, yet professional manner, you'll look great and appropriate. This look costs only $97.92.
