While it may be best to wear suits to interviews, I don't think it's worth knocking yourself out about it, seriously.
I totally agree.

I did suits for a bunch of my interviews when I was looking for a job, but it just felt so unnatural.. which probably increased my nervousness.

On interviews that I got a call back from (and ultimately got offers), I wore some nice Express editor pants, a very nice 3/4 button-up collared shirt and cute accessories. I felt way cuter in that then in a suit, and I was more comfortable, which increased my confidence (suits make me feel like a little kid playing dressup with clothes from a mom's closet )
