Styling session: How to Land a Big Girl Job

At some point in your life, you’ll have an “Oh shit! I’m an adult” moment and suddenly feel the pressure to dress like one. My sister had one of those moments recently, and I was more than willing to help her out.

Christin has been living in scrubs or sweatpants from undergrad through the master’s program, and needed some clothes, not only for job interviews but for weekends as well. Given that she just graduated and hasn’t started working yet, we didn’t want to spend a lot of money, something that I’m really good at.

This is a fun weekend look that we put together. We bought the dress and tights on a shopping excursion, so all we had to do if find something she already owned to pair with them.  This entire outfit cost less than $100 and each piece is incredibly versatile, which is important when you are building a wardrobe from scratch.

These are two interview appropriate looks that are both flattering and comfortable. Not shown is the blazer we purchased. Christin is 4’11 so it was difficult to find clothes that didn’t overwhelm her small frame. We picked up a 3/4 sleeve version from The Limited,  one in camel and one in black, which worked perfectly for her figure. She wore the first outfit to her interview and nailed it, scoring her first big girl job in Savannah, Georgia. She starts in a few weeks and I couldn’t be more proud of her. 
If you’re in need of a makeover, whether you want to look more polished or want to get out of your style rut, or even add some quirky touches to your conservative style I can do it all.
