We have been a little lacking in the post department lately, but that is all going to change, I solemnly swear!

It is now officially my spring break, and I have a whopping two weeks off, and not too much to do, so I will be posting, posting, posting.

Since arriving home I have been shopping twice already ( in three days, yikes!), but for good reason - I need clothes for an interview. Summer internships have been on the mind since the March 1st deadline for most of mine. For an interview it's important to look your best, meaning clean, collected, confident, but also but forth a unique and individualized you. Hence, shopping made a little more difficult that usual.

These are the results that yielded:

BCBG light pink floral printed dress. I love the cut of this dress. The neckline and the belt detailing especially drew me to love this garment. It is simple, yet detailed, and classy, yet interesting. I thought it perfect for an interview at an art gallery.

Here's a detail of the belt.

Here are the shoes I plan to wear with it. Vintage, stolen from my mom's closet.

Another take on the interview dress look is this patterned silk racerback dress. Since the dress is sleeveless and a little less structured than the first, it needs a belt and a blazer to make it more professional and put together. The pattern of the dress keeps it visually interesting, and the silk keeps it up to par for the work environment. I would wear a blue blazer versus a black blazer with this a) because I only have a blue blazer, but b) because it softens the look and goes perfectly with the purples and blues in the pattern of the dress. While I am not wearing tights here I would probably do so to an interview. Keeping my hair up promises a clean neckline, although I'm sure my hair will look a little more groomed come interview date.

This look is a new take on a classic separates combination. A tweed skirt is perfect for an interview, it is conservative, yet, when paired with something fun, like this silk blouse, it is really brought to life. A key element to this outfit is the mixture of patterns, which with out the look would have no real spark at all. The secret is to pair two things that can compliment each other and really pop. The reason that this works is the pattern of the tweed is much more simple in black and white, while the blouse has a much large, undetermined pattern, popping with color.

Here is that same outfit, only with a blazer. I'm all for mixing black and blue, especially when it is in such a bold way, like here. It works here because the skirt is not solid black, but patterned with white, and also because the blouse has some blue in it as well.

Here is the same tweed skirt with a solid midnight blue silk top. The interest in this top lays in the intricate ruffle on the front. Again, the deep blue and black and white tweed work together because the skirt is not a solid black. The play of textures from the tweed and the silk also create a lot of visual interest.

It wasn't really possible to see what shoes I was wearing in any of the pictures, so I thought I'd give you a close up. I just got these patent leather oxford, and I am in love. They are different and more interesting than plain black flats, but just as comfortable and simple. They will go perfectly with some opaque black tights.

Hope you enjoyed these outfits I put together, and I hope that they land me an internship! More to come soon!
