help me with work appropriate outifts!
Permalink Closed

I took stock of a few things in my wardrobe that I hope can work...I took the internship at the agency (will be refusing if I get to work at the animation studio). No matter what, I'm pretty sure I have to wear "business casual" at either place.


1. I own a dress very similar to this already, but in black (it's been on the Anthro website forever, but they just took it off). Can I just wear a sweater or blazer over it and call it a day? Or is this a "no"?

2. I also own and love this blazer...would it be considered a "conservative" or "wild" piece. I wear it now a bit punked up with chains and pearls, jeans and trashed Chucks (occasinally adding Avril Lavigne eyeliner to it), which I guess isn't exactly appropriate for the workplace.

3. I own the top this model is wearing. Is this appropriate when it gets warmer? (Again, I usually wear this with jeans or denim minis, but that won't fly )

TIA! 


PS: Comfort is a HUGE issue for me, because I'll be working 5 days a week and I have to go to class in these clothes as well. And I live in Los Angeles...so cold weather isn't an issue.

I think #2 and 3 can be incorporated into a work wardrobe.  I really can't see #1 being work appropriate even with a sweater or blazer.

I think all of it looks ok for work especially if it is business casual. It is all in what you put with it!

I think it sounds fine...the dress I am iffy about, especially if it fits you as tightly as the model. If it's looser on you, it should be OK.


I think as long as you wear the shirts/jackets with nice, tailored, classic pants and work-appropriate shoes, you will look great
