If you've landed a job or internship this summer, congratulations! If you want to be viewed as a professional, you have to be fashionably prepared. Prepping your wardrobe doesn't have to be expensive. Here are some great places to get lots of pieces that'll work for you and your budget:


  • Forever 21
  • Charlotte Russe
  • American Apparel
  • H&M
  • New York & Company
  • Express
  • Banana Republic
  • Target
It's not always about the clothes either.

  • Get some comfortable, work appropriate shoes. A lot of places require closed toe shoes for safety reasons.
  • Keep your jewelry modest. If you go too big, you will go home.
  • Hair does matter. Natural colors and simple styles are appreciated.
  • Keep your make-up modest as well. You're going to work, not on a date.
  • No need for your life bag; a nice sized purse that'll hold your necessities will do just fine.

Grooming gets you places.

  • Keep your nails manicured. Go for clear polish or French tip.
  • Too much perfume may affect people with allergies. Be mindful.
  • Carry gum or mints just in case.
Remember, a person's first look at you is your first impression. Make it one to remember favorably.
