In Need of a Job?

Your halfway there to graduating and finding a job or starting an internship. The biggest question is what to wear to these interviews and where to get some inexpensive finds. Forever 21, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Target have items that you can wear after the interview as well. Nordstrom has button downs and blouses that are not as inexpensive, but you can get them complimentary tailored.  

1. Make sure your top is tailored or fitted. Don't wear anything loose, baggy or super tight that shows off your "goods".
2. Wear a key piece or two that shows off your personality. A Cardigan, accessories or shoes are great example. (Leave Uggs and Tennis shoes at Home)
3. Bottoms: Don't wear a skirt that when you sit down it rides up and becomes a mini; same for dresses.

Bottoms
BDG Tweed Pant - 68.00
Classic Slacks - 19.80
Wool Blend Pencil Skirt - 19.80
The Premium Black Pant Collection - 50 - 60.00
Cardigans
-t tahari "chloe" sweater - 47.90
Lily White Animal Print Cardigan - 36.00
Cardigans - 15 - 30.00

Accessories be sure to keep light and nothing too crazy. Bracelets, headband, rings and necklaces are a fun way to dress up your outfit. An accessory can show a little bit of who you are. Keep Silly Bands at Home..

Please don't wear heels if you CAN'T walk in them.
Flats are just as great as heels, they come in some many different varieties and colors.

Lastly, If you don't mind an adventure Marshalls and TJ Maxx are some great places to go. Nordstrom Rack just opened up in Brentwood. They have some great cheap finds as well. Just DIGG!
