Dressing up for an Internship

So graduation is now a distant memory and for those of you who have landed that dream job, well done, and I am not at all jealous or bitter. For the rest of us the time has come to get off the sofa and get some work experience.

Basically we all know internships are a great way to get experience and potential employers are looking to find some on your CV so I don’t need to lecture you about that. More importantly, to me anyway, is what to wear. After three months of wearing a onesie, as good as I felt I looked, it was a shock to the system to have to consider what to wear EVERYDAY for two entire months.

So here is my advice. Firstly, relax. Secondly, check the dress code. It literally is that simple.

Work is where, whether we like or not, we will be spending most of our time so we may as well look good whilst doing it.

Here are my top picks for smart to casual...

I have just finished my first taste of the world of internships and I was lucky, or unlucky, enough to be able to wear whatever I felt like on that particular day.  This, naturally, led to some early morning tantrums and an incredibly messy bedroom but anyway...

Just make the most of any experience you get and don’t be worried about asking questions etc. And have fun dressing up : )
