Watch out world, because this Fashionista is redefining the business casual look in Chicago! Not only is this outfit professional, it also is super stylish and sends a confident message to others around. Especially when venturing into the corporate world, it is important to look the part while still maintaining a sense of style and personality.
It is all too easy to slip into the mindset of pairing a black skirt with a white top and heading off to work with a Starbucks cup in hand. Why not add a pop of color and a hint of sparkle here to show your coworkers how fabulous and chic you really are? Having an internship as a college student is the perfect way to start collecting articles of clothing that are appropriate, yet also incorporate your favorite fashion trends. This Fashionista is clearly not afraid to treat the office like a (mini) runway and combine a polished look with a creative touch.
The bright pink top gives the outfit a burst of summer color and adds a sprinkle of cheerfulness, which is always a positive characteristic to maintain as an intern. Pairing the top with a chunky statement necklace creates a bold element of texture and also brings out the detailed pattern on the blouse; how cute is that embellished design? The coordination between the nude belt, which is the perfect little accessory to show how “with it” you are, and the nude shoes creates a must-have combination for a day filled with meetings and phone calls! Completing the internship style with a black pencil skirt shows that you already are informed and prepared for the sophistication of the workplace and the culture which surrounds it. Replicating this Fashionista’s outfit with the right amount of color, sparkle and professional clothing gives you the power and motivation to take on the internship with a lot of style and class!
One Simple Change: Planning to go out into the city with a few coworkers after work? Switch out the nude heels for a pair of glittery sandals, and change out the black pencil skirt with a high waist elastic skirt for a cute and fabulous look.
