With summer almost upon us, some college students are looking for a relaxing vacation to find relief from a long, stressful spring semester. Other college students, on the other hand, are seeking out summer internships to hopefully rake in some cash for school tuition, apartment rent (like myself) or even a summer shopping spree from all of those great seasonal markdowns. Regardless of where your money goes, an internship is a great way to gain real work experience and look stylish while doing it. Depending on the location of the internship, any student should want to dress to impress their employer and fellow employees.
Let’s say you managed to land an internship in an office for the summer. Well, this Fashionista knows exactly how to dress in order to grab anyone and everyone’s attention. Looking sleek yet conservative, she is absolutely flawless in a Banana Republic white blouse and navy skirt. The white blouse is a must for any office setting, because the long sleeves protect her skin from the chilly air conditioning that is blasted throughout the building, yet is also light enough to wear comfortably outside on a warm afternoon. White also makes for a good match with practically any color, especially a deep blue like this Fashionista is featuring here.
The fitted pencil style of this skirt adds to the femininity and sophistication of any woman wishing to demonstrate finesse and success in the competitive nature of an office. This Fashionista completes her look with small yet elegant touches, including a tiny detailed necklace and a bright cross-body purse. While it is not too noticeable at first, the necklace adds just enough detail so that the blouse does not become so busy. The cross-body purse is also a staple for holding everything you need for a lunch-break getaway. This Fashionista adds the final touches of her outfit with simple black heels. The heels are short enough to wear so that walking around the office does not become such a burden, yet adds a flare of style with every step she takes.
One Simple Change: Struggling to come up with a different occasion to wear this outfit to? Simply swap out the tiny necklace for a bolder statement necklace and the heels for a comfortable pair of flats for a relaxing Sunday brunch with family before heading to work the next day.
