Blazer







Blazer - G2000
T-Shirt - Uniqlo
Skirt - Forever 21
Headband - Forever 21
Shoes - Keds

I will be starting my 7 weeks internship at Great Eastern Life, an insurance ( I hope they will not make me sell insurance ) company right after my exams. This internship requires me to wear office wear so I bought a blazer ;)

I guess it will be formal enough for office if I just wear my usual outfits wit the blazer over? It is also very chic to push the sleeves up for daily wear. Plus I got it a a HUGE discount! It was actually 179 bucks but it went down to 49 bucks! Better than spending money on long sleeve shirts that I will not wear other than in office ;)

Exams will start this saturday so updates will be minimal till I finish my exams! Wish me luck!

Wow! I can't wait to see what outfits you come up with for office wear. I loved getting to dress up a bit after years dressing casually as a student.

Te said...

I've always been a bit jealous of the people who get to wear corporate clothing to work, since I work with kids I'm always in daggy clothing that gets covered in snot, not sexy skirts and heels. Lovely blazer, I also am a fan of rolling up the sleeves. I think it looks nice on girls, and especially hot when men push up the sleeves on business shirts...yeah...i don't know ;)

Mode Junkie said...

the blazer + leather skirt combo is amazing. good call on buying a blazer instead of long sleeve shirts. a girl needs at least one blazer. internship or no internship. and what a great steal!

Hippiegirl said...

oh i love that blazer with your striped shirt :)
and i wish you soo much luck for your exams!!!

She said said...

Good Luck with your exams. I'm sure you will ace them all. And I LOVE that blazer, I have got my sister to but my a grey boyfriend blazer by that has been in the topshop sales. We are just waiting for it to get discounted more before I splash out... sometimes it is very handy to have a sister that works in Topshop, espically for the discounts :-)

Choo said...

Internships are always great when you're still in school and need the work experience. I was only able to do one during my high school days but I wish I would have done more. Hope you have a good time at the environment!

Congrats on the internship.

For my internship, I wore a lot of dresses, but the organization was pretty lax. I mean, I wore flip flops a few times! (Though they were J. Crew and super cute.)

Lovely outfit as always.
