I'll wear a pair of dressy black pants, a nice top, and dressy black shoes. If people don't have enough common sense when it comes to that, then that's their problem. It just seems like kindergarten sometimes. For example, don't wear huge earrings, don't wear alot of perfume. It's just degrading to me when someone says this to me.

It depends on what you're interviewing for - some places do want to see a suit or just a jacket....but usually nice black pants, a nice top and good shoes should be fine.
Don't feel degraded about the no big earrings, no perfume comments - they are literally saying it to EVERYBODY. I have friends who wear too much perfume - some people don't know....
My friend has been in Human Resources for 10 years and went on an interview in a suit - the guy who interviewed her told her - 'if you come back you should wear a button down shirt, not a regular top". Even people who are at the high end get told things....it's not personal.
i know it's hard when you've been out of work and you feel like everyone is just pushing you down. Nobody is trying to hurt you - most of the time they really do want to help you get the job. The agencies that are sending you on interviews - they get paid if you get the job so it's in their best interest to help you.
