I think you need to consider that environment in which you are interviewing for. Will the interviewer most likely be wearing a 3-piece suit? If so, you need to splurge and buy yourself that new "interview suit." If the office is more a "polo and dockers" environment, then a formal suit for yourself may make yourself more dressed than your environment and may not be appropriate.
I'll give an example. I was interviewing for a counseling position with a city clinic. I wore a skirt and blouse with a plain black jacket, stockings and heels. Can you believe that the gentleman who interviewed me was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a wrinkled pair of khakis?! I saw employees wearing jeans and polo shirts. I was so overdressed for this environment, that I stuck out like a sore thumb!!
