Hi All!
Since my last post, I have finished finals, finished work and have been packing and saying my goodbyes at school. It’s been a different week with no set schedule or routine, by I am taking it for what it is and enjoying all my moments at school. I can’t believe that I am days away from graduation… it is quite a surreal feeling. One thing that I have taken away from my time at college is to always dress for success and the appropriate ways to dress for an interview or work.
Today, I’m showing an outfit that is perfect for a job interview. It is professional and appropriate. Before, I get into the details, here are a few tips for dressing for an interview
-Keep your makeup simple and soft, don’t overdo it. You are going to get a job, not a date out with friends.
-The same goes for outfit choice, you want to choose an outfit that’s modest and appropriate.
-Always be prepared for any interview, bring your resume and reference with you as well as something to write with and a planner to be prepared.
-Do your research on the company you are interviewing at and don’t forget some questions too.
Now, onto the outfit. This is perfect for an interview or first day of work.
I got this outfit from all different stores, but they all fit great together.
First, these pants are from Talbots, I like the cut and style of the pant. They are a straight cut that go right to the ankle, which allows you to wear a small pump or heel. I opted for the same heels I wore for Thanksgiving. A simple black heel with a gold buckle. Kelly and Katie are my go-to for good quality shoes. It looks professional but it also adds length to your overall outfit.
My black top, is a short sleeveless blouse from Francesca’s Boutique. I often wear it in the summer, but I opted for the outfit since it matches the pants and the blazer.
This blazer is one that I wear often for formal occasions. I got it from Marshalls a few years back and I have worn it with dresses, jeans, and dress pants to fit any outing that I have.
When I wore this outfit, I felt put together and professional-two big things to keep in mind for job interviews and work.
Well, I am hours away from graduation day. I am planning on enjoying my last few days as a college student before it’s time for something new. I will see you back here on Tuesday for a very special post.
Until then, xoxo
