Wish List Mondays #30

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's another late Wish List. Cry me a river. Some people have JOB INTERVIEWS to attend. Which got me thinking: seeing as I'm now technically an actual grown-up, with a degree and everything, I'm going to need a bit of a wardrobe maturation. Unfortunately, slogan Tees and shiny leggings don't quite cut it in the boardroom. In light of this, I thought I'd put together three different, but interview-appropriate, outfits to inspire your move into the world of industry. Welcome to the party, kids. Three things to remember when meeting your potential future boss/subordinates (however you look at it):

1. Have a gimmick. I don't mean a weird accent, or a limp. Wear something different; a patterned shirt, bold shoes, or a statement necklace. Not only is it a conversation starter, it will make sure you're remembered out of a sea of corporate suits. Win.

2. Tie your hair up. There is nothing more annoying, distracting, and off-putting than someone nervously fiddling with their split ends. I'm totally guilty of doing this when it's down, so for God's sake, do yourself a favour and keep your hair away from your hands. It also shows off your beautiful, expressive, and honest (?) face.

3. Unless your auditioning for a job as a hooker, tone down the makeup. No one wants to hire a Kardashian.
