My sister is currently in grad school while working full time. With a few more years to go before becoming a fully fledged acupuncturist she spends most of her time wearing casual student attire. About a year ago however she switched from working in a medical research lab to a slightly more corporate job in the private sector. This switch meant that 1. she needed to borrow my one and only suit for an interview and 2. she needed to figure out how to dress for work.
At the time she asked me what I thought she should buy given her limited student budget and current student wardrobe so that she still looked professional. Although my closet is bursting at the seams I told her there was only a small portion that got a lot of business use and this was it:
- Blazers - black tailored blazer and gray boyfriend blazer
- Denim - slim jeans in a dark denim
- Loose blouse-y tops
- Basic shoes - Loafers/smoking slipper & nude pumps
- Black slim fitting pants
Denim has always been appropriate for me and fortunately for my sister at work so I always invest in nice versions of the above. Not rocket science but for those just starting out, this is an easy recipe. :-)
