Some Personality

I wore this outfit for an interview I had earlier this week. For companies with a more casual dress code, it's hard to walk the line between looking professional and still fitting in with the company culture. It's always important to look put together, but that doesn't mean you have to wear a black blazer and pencil skirt to every interview. For my outfit, I opted for this button-up, because I thought the print gave it more personality than just a simple white dress shirt. I then decided to pair my trusty mustard midi skirt with it because the color matched well with my shirt, and the length made it interview appropriate. 

Later in the day, I swapped my skirt out for boyfriend jeans, and my heels out for Sperry's. I usually don't wear button-ups, but I really like the feel of this printed shirt and think it will be a great piece for spring. I've also been noticing a ton of "menswear" button-ups online, so I can definitely sense a spring trend on the horizon! Loose shirts like this are perfect because they can be worn with pants, skirts, or even worn open over a top or dress.

P.S. I'm officially done with all my papers and finals...TGISB (thank goodness it's spring break)!!

Lady Suit

I wore this outfit for an interview I had in Downtown LA last week. After searching for the perfect pair of trousers/harem pants for months, I finally found this pair for only fifteen dollars on Forever 21's website. I was a little worried they wouldn't fit correctly, but with some quick hemming they worked perfectly! I'm glad I was able to find a good pair of trousers, because there are times where I get sick of the typical pencil skirt + blazer combo for professional looks. In fact, I love this blazer + pant combo so much, I wore it with a different top the day before on Valentine's Day! Now that I've finally got my go-to lady suit...I'm going to wear it at any chance I get :)

Thanks to my internship, I have been getting a ton of wear out of these high, yet comfy heels (and my trusty blazer). It usually takes me a while to warm up to a pair of shoes, and considering the fact that I've actually owned these since my high school graduation, I think it's about time I finally start wearing them.

I wore this outfit to my internship, class, and then decided to keep it on to go out to dinner and to a press screening of The Five-Year Engagement with Andrew. Both dinner and the movie were great (seriously...you have to see the movie!) and it was fun to have a little weeknight date. Unfortunately, our impromptu date threw my schedule off a bit, and I just haven't been able to get back on track. Seriously though, I have been waking up everyday thinking it's Saturday, which is actually really depressing when I remember it's not.

Happy...Saturday  Thursday?

I wore this outfit to an interview the other day. Being a college student, I don't have too many opportunities to dress up like this. So, when the occasional opportunity arises, I love to dress professionally and pull out my rarely worn, but very loved black pumps and blazer. I also love this pencil skirt because it is polished, yet unique and quirky at the same time.

Looking at myself in this outfit gives me a little glimpse into my future. While I love college, I also can't wait to start my future career and explore the work world...
