i'm going to get applications from a bunch of stores at the outlets (mostly retail and kitchen stores, bath & body works etc.). what sort of outfit would be appropriate for just getting an application? kind of formal, like khakis? (i'm a girl).

Plan to dress nicely and appear well groomed. Dress more conservatively than you normally would and even a bit more conservatively than the typical dress at the workplace at which you’re interviewing. Go to the stores and see what the employees are wearing. Try to emulate the people you see working there, they got through the hiring process!
Have an ‘old’ person approve your proposed interview outfit before you buy it or wear it to an interview. Anybody who is old enough to be your mother should look you over before you leave the house.
Wear the interview outfit and shoes before the interview -- for more than a few minutes. You want to make sure they are comfortable.
Be prepared to be interviewed even when you’re not expecting to. If you’re cruising the mall filling out job applications, don’t be surprised if some employers want to interview you on the spot, especially likely if the store has a "help-wanted" sign in the window. Since you could be interviewed at any time, you should dress appropriately when you go out to fill out applications. Also be mentally prepared, and don’t balk if an employer asks to interview you on the spot.
If you are shy consider enlisting moral support. To help with the butterflies, I would ask my mom to go to the interview with me and stay in the car while I was interviewing. The Mom-in-the-car plan works well because if you don’t do so well or you don’t get the job, you have a easy escape plan. Or if you forget something, such as a pen, references, safety pins, moms are famous for being prepared with all of the essentials. Mom is also crucial for providing the all-important "good luck smooch," and she might just buy you ice cream after the interview.
Good luck.

Look around the mall. What are the salespeople wearing?
Try to go that level of 'formality' or one higher. Save a great outfit for interviews. Wear subdued makeup and appropriate jewelry. Be clean and very well groomed [ hair, teeth, nails should be perfect.] Sometimes the manager will talk to you on the spot so be ready- to list positive qualities about yourself and your eagerness to learn. Good luck!

Nice Black , below knee Skirts, dresses, No mid-drifts showings. Closed Toe Pumps. 60% of an Interview is based on how you present yourself. Even if Your just getting an application, the presentation shows confidence and Modesty<3

Yeah, it doesn't have to be anything dressed up. Save the professional outfits for interviews. You can keep the application process to casual clothing, but don't look too ragged (no sweatpants, or holy jeans), remember, first impressions matter! Good luck!

You always want to make a good first impression so I'd go business casual... a nice blouse, khakis or slacks with a solid colored heal or flat. Nice earrings or a neck-less (not to much less is more) Make sure your hair looks nice and your ready to go. Good Luck job hunting!

And it truly is so fruity clean. tremendous to interrupt the ice at conferences, activities, or as agift for someone who has floral hypersensitive reactions. a marvelous present idea once you're giving a house warming present for a sparkling neighbor, or a sparkling arrival. are you able to tell i love those issues? The chocolate one is sooo solid. And maximum magazines out of your community fliers have savings. That makes it even sweeter!

If you have a dress and sandals, that would be very good. Otherwise, black slacks and a nice blouse. Just no Jeans and no tennis shoes!
