Internships and College: What to Wear

Your style at work will depend on the company's dress code.  Yesterday was my first day at my internship, and I have to admit my clothes were definitly lacking any kind of personal style.  Since it was my first day, I thought it better to be overdressed in black slacks, a white and grey striped button down, and a black blazer. Business Professional. I did like my jewelry, but it still felt lacking.  I'll be sure to update my look from now on though.  If you need some suggestions to make your work outfit more fun, I'll be posting some ideas.

The Connie Striped Chiffon Top is a light pastel coral.  There's a subtle presence of a cream color which makes it perfect to wear with brown colors.  I like the tie detail.  It's different from your typical button down without being over the top.

Dark brown slacks is a nice neutral alternative to the typical black and grey. The Gianni Flare Trouser creates a flattering shape because it narrows down at the knees and then widens out, balancing the hips.

The Cherize Leather Tote is a nice taupe color and its shape is perfect for work, because it's large enough for any kind of notebook or folder you may need.

Iactually own the Rose Drop Earring Set.  It's a very simple set that is easy to work into outfits. My favorite is the rose studs, such a fun and easy way to work in the summer floral trend.

I love the Nine West Barbe heels.  They're the most comfortable heels I've ever owned, and they're available in plenty of colors.  If you're looking for a good pair of heels, definitely invest in these.
