Since I was traveling all last week and living off my 8 Pieces, 15 Outfits I’ve lined up a couple of guest posters for you this week!
I’m excited to introduce to you Lauren from Stylized Existence. Lauren is a wardrobe consultant (my dream job!) with a fresh but attainable style. Every now and then some of you ask me for help putting together outfits for things like job interviews and weddings, etc. Honestly, I never know what to say when people ask for advice like that because I’m constantly wondering if my outfit is appropriate too! With Lauren being a wardrobe consultant, I thought she would be the perfect person to answer these questions for us!
Hi there! I’m Lauren from the style blog Stylized Existence! Audrey asked me to guest post while she is away and I was happy to help! Audrey receives a ton of questions about what readers should wear for specific events, and since I am a wardrobe consultant, we both thought it would be helpful if I gave some input. Today I wanted to cover what you should wear to an interview and how you should dress for your upcoming summer weddings!
Interview Outfits
First, the interview looks. This can vary a bit depending on the type of company you’re dealing with, but I ALWAYS say it is better to be overdressed than underdressed. Obviously, if you’re applying to a super corporate (read: stuffy) company, you might want to stick with a full matching suit and a blouse, but if you’re able to inject some personality into your interview look, go for it! As long as you are still formal enough, color and patterns need not be avoided for interviews. In fact, they just might help you be remembered instead of Susie with the MBA. Both looks below include my idea of the perfect feminine interview outfit. Interview Outfit Science: Pick a well fitting blazer, skirt, and heels. Add a top of your choice and some minimal jewelry and you’ve got yourself a respectable and memorable interview outfit.
Audrey, thank you so much for having me! Putting Me Together Readers, I hope you picked up some good tips for putting together your outfits this Summer! I hope you will come over and visit my blog!
