Suit for a job interview

Well I finally have a job interview - hooray! - and now I need to buy something to wear for it. I am thinking the more formal the better, and so want to buy a suit of some description. But these can easily be frumpy or unattractive, and I want to also look nice in it too.
Anyone any ideas where I can find such a thing as a stylish and attractive power suit, that isn't crazily expensive?

Have you thought of a fitted dress like this with a jacket over the top, i think its a more feminine look yet still says "power and confidence"

Good luck with the interview, btw!
:yes: Zara are great; their stuff is affordable but very elegant so shouldn't make you look like a frump.
How about a high-waisted trouser, short-sleeved shirt and waistcoat rather than a full-on suit? Much more summery, nice tailored lines, light and airy but still very smart.
I haven't tried anywhere yet - been too busy preparing for the presentation I have to give at the interview :nervous: - but will check out those places at the weekend.
Zara seems like a great idea, because their stuff is always stylish. I was thinking of the usual M&S and Next suspects, but they are so hit and miss - their stuff can be great, but frequently falls just the wrong side of classic and into frumpy.
Remember, the shoulder pads can never be too big. The bigger the pads the bigger the power!
Awesome idea! And of course, I'll need some insanely high and pointy stilettos, and lots of blue eyeshadow.
You've got this job in the bag.
I hope you've started backcombing already.....
