You don't necessarily have to dress from there. :) somthing decent and professional may work with a general purpose.

I would definitely choose for an office suit and black leather shoes, enclosed.
Good luck!

I was a personnel recruiter for 25 years. The appropriate dress for someone going to an interview, no matter what the position is, would be a dark blue or gray suit, with black "stewardess" height heels, a nice blouse which blends with your suit color, a purse to match your shoes. The recruiter will make his/her impression of you within the first five seconds, so enter the room with a big smile, and give a firm handshake to whomever is interviewing you, whether it be a man or a woman. Investigate the company before you go in, and have some reasonable questions to ask, such as "what are you looking for in a good employee", or look up the sales and profits records on line - if the sales are dropping, ask why the recruiter thinks they are dropping; if they are increasing, point out that you know that fact and it is very impressive. I just couldn't stand it when an applicant walked in chewing gum, had no idea what job they were applying for, knew nothing about the hospital where they so "desparately" wanted to work, etc. And don't bring up salary unless the recruiter brings it up first. Later you can ask what the salary range of the job is. If it's a fair company, they will give you what the job and you are worth. If they try to low ball you, negotiate a higher figure. Good luck - and always shake hands when leaving and thank the interviewer for his/her time. It's also OK to ask what the next step in the interviewing process would be, and about how long that would take. It's better to say too little than too much. I have heard about every bad divorce, every bad child, every bad marriage, health problems, etc. That is not job related - and the recruiter cannot (or should not) even ask questions along those lines.

It's always better to be overdressed than underdressed for an interview. If you're underdressed, it will likely be interpreted as a sign that you really don't care if you get the job. If you're dressed nicely, it shows that you're serious about obtaining employment with the company.
Keep your cleavage and your shoulders covered. Wear slacks and close toed shoes. Never, Never, NEVER wear flip flops. A button up dress shirt and slacks never fails to make a good impression. If you really want to wow your potential employer, you could add a fitted blazer....and don't forget to iron!
Good luck at your interview!

What position are you applying for? Dress like you will be dressing on your first day. I was offer a job there some years ago, and the interviewer made the comment 'I see that you are ready to start work today, and of course I said yes.
If you are applying for a stock clerk do not go there with a two piece suit and gloves. If you are applying for a manger position, dress according business attire.

Can you go to a Kohl's in another city and get at least a necklace or something? Otherwise you can order online. If those both fail, wear grey dress pants, a pink blouse, pumps and a silver necklace. Look classy and stylish.

You could go online to kohls and buy something, that could impress them. But if you can't, just be sure to wear blue, like navy blue. It has a calming affect.

Find another Kohls and look at how the managers in your area dress.

Just wear something nice, NOT revealing. Make sure your clothes are neatly pressed, your appearance is clean. You should be fine.

I don't think you could go wrong with a nice pin striped business suit.
