i had to get formalwear for an induction meeting for my student government association. and i actually shopped at charlotte russe. nice blazer, work pants, and a shirt and it was about $60. my tip is to ask the person at the store to pick out a bunch of outfits for you. and i got so many compliments – even the president complimented me during the meeting!

About #3…If you want a nicer bag but you can’t afford it, always look at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I can promise you that their prices for purses are AMAZING. And they’re real legit purses. Like Dooney & Bourke, Coach, nice Italian leather purses, Kathy Van Zeeland, and others.

All are about 50% or less than what you would pay at the department stores in the mall.

And to make it even easier to shop, most TJ Maxx’s and Marshall’s have their purses in order by color.

I always buy my Kathy Van Zeeland purses there. At Macy’s her purses run around $100, at TJ Maxx they’re normally between $30-$50.

Just thought I’d help.

kristi,

I would go with a tie-neck blouse. They still have a slight v-neck, but not enough to show cleavage. You can even leave them tied for a more covered-up look. I would pair them with basic trousers or tucked in to a pencil skirt.

lalalina,

Straight pants are very work appropriate: You may be confusing them with “skinny” trousers, which are not. Skinny pants are fitted through the leg and taper at the ankle. Straight pants skim the leg and have an standard width of 17″, making them a great alternative to traditional wide leg trousers. Check out Banana Republic, The Limited, and Ann Taylor Loft for great ways to wear straight trousers into your work wardrobe.

beth,
I always push readers to express their personal style. I feel the black dress shown is work appropriate (or obviously I wouldn’t have shown it), but if you don’t, I would suggest (as I did in the original post) to choose a plain dress of appropriate length that you already own and style it your own way.

lyra,

I got a new People Style Watch magazine in the mail today. It has an article about how to emulate Lady Gaga’s style. You might want to pick up a copy and check it out!.

That black dress is not appropriate for work. You really don’t need to spend almost 200 dollars on a dress but this would be a much more appropriate work dress.

I know you said that suits are stuffy, but don’t underestimate the power of a good one! Most employers love a candidate wearing a suit – it shows professionalism and that you’re serious about the job. I wore a suit on the interview of my internship and it wasn’t stuffy at all. Grey, pinstripe, with a small belt to nip in my waist. I wore a light blue top underneath with understated black jewelry. You can still be fashionable and wear a suit – just get one that’s your style.

This post was really well done! Love your suggestions! The only thing I would change is to switch out the Puma tote to a more classic, structured tote. The name indicates athletic or casual.

I’m so glad you posted this! First impressions are very important. Your appearance lets prospective employers know if you take the opportunity to have this job seriously or not. If you dress up for the interview, they’ll be more likely to remember you. I always believe that it’s better to dress up then to dress down!

I LOVE every dingle handbag you picked out. So cute! Especially the YSL bag. YSL is definitely one of my favorite designers, never disappoints.
