Dress Like the Boss, Spend Like the Intern

Pin It
Hello Readers! Life has been a little hectic and it has been a while since I posted in regards to inexpensive professional work-wear but here it is...some of my favorite looks.

It is important to go to work every day feeling confident and like you can take on any challenges that come your way. It is equally as important to avoid being faced with the challenge of an empty wallet. Below are some looks that help you dress like the boss but spend like the intern.

Above: A great look for an interview. Suit: Dark Navy Calvin Klein purchased at Burlington Coat Factory for $55 and paired with a lighter blue pin striped button down, $9.99 at Old Navy and navy blue heels from JustFab.com previously featured on this blog several times

Above: A great look for an office that follows a more "business casual" theme. Black long sleeve blouse- Burlington Coat Factory $12.99, Black Skinny Slacks from TJ Maxx $16.99 and Blush and Black Heels also from Burlington Coat Factory $14.99 paired with a Beige bag previously featured from JustFab.com

Above: A look that allows you to show you are professional and fashionable. Who says you can't be both? Black skinny slacks and pointed toe black heels previously featured, paired with a white button down- JC Penny $6.99 and a Black and White Patterned Blazer from K-Mart $7.99.....yeah that $7.99 is not a typo!

Above: I wore this outfit to the office and was complimented by several of my coworkers. The top is a black tank from K-Mart $1.99 and a Black Blazer also from K-Mart $19.99. The slacks are from Burlington Coat Factory and they broke the bank at a whopping $8.99!! I paired the look with the same bag and pointed black pumps featured above. 

Above: Add a pop of color to a traditional grey pencil skirt (previously featured) with a bright purple top like the one pictured from K-Mart priced at $10.99. Pair it with a pointed toe heel ($7.99 Burlington Coat Factory) for a little help making your legs look longer and leaner. 



Above: Not comfortable with a big pop of color? Pair the same bright top with a traditional light grey suit (previously featured).


Above: Give your black suit a break and wear a colorful blazer like the one pictured from K-Mart $7.99!! I paired the blazer with the tank, previously featured, Black Express Slacks purchased at TJ Maxx for $24.99 and a Forever21 necklace previously featured. 

Above: Same idea as the previous image. Don't be scared to showcase your personality with a fun blazer as long as the rest of your outfit isn't too out of the box.

Above: Same outfit as before but this jacket was purchased at Platos Closet for $6.99.


Above: Black fitted dress from Nordstrom Rack and cost $18.94, it was on sale and I saved $100.30!! I paired it with the blush and black heels featured above. If your office requires a jacket, this look is perfect with this blush colored Theory blazer purchased at Burlington Coat Factory for $29.99
