With springtime here and graduation right around the corner, 'tis the season for interviews. Whether you're on a hunt for a full-time job (like me) or searching for your summer internship, it's important to revamp not only your resume and online presence but also your working girl wardrobe.
It's easy to get caught up in and stressed out about having a professional wardrobe, but it is possible to have a versatile, affordable set of outfits. The key is starting with a couple basics that you can switch up and swap out for other pieces. I'm a planner. And as I'm filling out job apps, sending out resumes, and writing cover letters, I'm also pre-planning a few go-to interview looks. (In hopes that I can avoid that crazy hustle of changing outfits five times.)
My staples are pictured above: A navy blue blazer that I scored for cheap. (Yay, thrifting!) And a great pair of greige (grey/beige) trousers that I spent a bit more on. Based on the blouses, shoes, and accessories I already have at home, I Polyvore'd five different looks that I can reach for on those important days.
