Look of the Day #134

LOTD

Hey guys! Happy day after Christmas, I swear the days between Christmas and New Year are a blur of family, friends, activity, and love. 

I have another outfit for you today, I had mentioned a few weeks back about how to properly prepare for an interview and some do’s and don’ts. Today, I have another great outfit for you to rock in an interview or meeting. The new year is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. I always love the sense of accomplishment that comes with wrapping up an old year and starting a new one.

Now, let’s get to this outfit. 

I wanted something that was neutral and simple and that’s exactly what I got when it came to picking out this outfit.

I first started with this skirt, I got it from Marshall’s. I love how it is a pencil skirt and can be worn with a suit or just by itself. Versatility is key for a young woman starting out in her first professional job. 

I decided to add a dark blouse as my top. I got it from Francesca’s Boutique, as a summer blouse but I have found many more uses and ways to wear it through the years. Although, it is sleeveless, I added a blazer to match it. Although, different opposite colors, the black and the light gray skirt complement one another very well. 

As, I mentioned above, I wore my gray blazer as a finishing touch. I got this blazer from Marshall’s as well, a few years back. Although, the blazer and the skirt are not a matching set, the interior of the blazer which is seen when cuffed is almost a perfect match to the skirt and the black top ties the whole outfit together. 

Lastly, I added my favorite Kelly and Katie pumps to the outfit and my Michael Kors purse to bring out the black top more. I am loving this outfit and was very pleased with how it turned out for an interview or a business meeting or appointment. What are your professional goals for the new year?
