Dressing Business Professional on a College Budget

Hello again!

As you all know, I'm in college and on a tight budget. Today we had a resume workshop where we meet with professionals to discuss our resumes. The dress code was business professional, which can get pricey. So I decided to show you all how you can dress business professional on a college budget! I think I will make a series out of this, as I have to dress up for work on a daily basis.

One place you can shop for dress clothes is Good Will, or any other thrift store. I find this to be sort of hit and miss, but it's always good to look! My other favorite store is 10dollarmall.com! This site is 100% legitimate, and I have ordered multiple items from them and am very satisfied with the quality of the products.

If you have any further questions about 10dollarmall.com, I would love to do a review and try on blog for you all!

This is my outfit for today and it can easily be dressed down by removing the blazer or up by adding some heels. I opted for the more comfortable route and wore some black flats. Ignore the wrinkly pants, that's from sitting all day!


Outfit Details:
  • Blazer (Maurices, I couldn't find this on their website, but you can find some nice blazers at Good Will)
  • Tan Pants (On sale at White House Black Market for $20! Originally $100!)
  • Black Flats (Payless)
  • Floral Statement Necklace and Earrings (Avon - This one is no longer sold but here is one you could substitute)
Here are close-ups of the necklace and earrings.








The most important thing to remember is to watch for sales! I very rarely pay full price for an item. Like I said, I got these pants for $20 when they are $100 pants. I got the necklace and earrings for $12 and they are normally $25. I highly recommend joining the email list at high end stores such as New York & Company and White House Black Market. You don't have to buy their full price items! I only shop in the sale section and there are some great things there!
