I had a job interview the other day and I was getting so many compliments on my outfit that I decided to blog about it. It is rare for me to do the 'cliché', pants and a shirt look when it comes to job interviews. Some people underestimate the power of a good A-line skirt.
Having an interview (or an office job) does not equal boring. This shirt is like a classic button down, but with a twist. I love the ruffle and the military feel that the color, the gold buttons and shoulder details have. I decided to skip the pants and go for this beautiful skirt. This skirt is definitely one of the staple items in my closet. I mean, it is A-line and it is black... it can be styled in endless ways!
The tan colored belt (believe it or not) came with the skirt. Initially, I thought I should do the look without the belt, then I thought I should keep it classic and do a black belt; ultimately I decided to keep the tan belt. It compliments the look, it gives it a stylish feel and I am obsessed with the color. The shoes were a no brainer. Pointy shoes are classic, they are super 'in' right now and it was a job interview after all. I went with these ones with a gold detail on the back which brought the look together.
Bottom line is, work clothes can be versatile, stylish and fun.
You can always style it, give it a twist and still look appropriate. Remember to always look your best, you only get one chance to make a fist impression.
