Ciao bella!
Today's Situation:
An Interview (could also work for a meeting the parents or an important dinner meeting.)
An interview needs to give off an impressive flare. I am going to give outfit advice for a few different kind of interviews.
This outfit advice is for jobs such as managers, secretaries, administrators, teachers, counselors, editors, directors, journalists, etc...
A nice gray or black pencil skirt with a form fitting blouse with a similar shade to the skirt would look nice. A nice pair of small heels would be appropriate as well.
A light, knitted sweater would complement the professional look, too.
If you are applying for a more fun and bouncy job, (teenage clothing store clerk, party store worker, camp counselor, front desk worker, waitress, etc...) here is what I would recommend:
If you want to really get involved, wear an outfit full of items from the clothing store you want to work at.
Other than that, a pair of denim skinny jeans, a long, bright colored tunic, and a pair of either strappy sandals or black/gray boots would look quite nice. A dress is iffy. Summery dresses can look inappropriate and long gown-like ones can look overdone. Keep it simple and sophisticated with a jazzed up everyday outfit.
Now, I haven't mentioned hair yet. The reason? It needs to be done in one swoop. Hair is pretty universal for any kind of interview, whether it be for a company position or a fast food clerk, when going for the interview make it look like you spent time on it. You do NOT want to come off as lazy or unconcerned. Tie it into a nice bun, run a headband through it, or even clamp a clip to it. Keep it chic and careful.
Good luck and I hope your appearance makes an impression!

Summer Outfits: No Money, but Need Clothes?
Fashionistas!
Broke, but still want summer style? Easy! There are a few tricks from changing your old, fall clothes into new summer ones! Check it out!
Shorts: Find a pair of old jeans that still fit, but are too hot to wear. Grab a pair of scissors, a Sharpie, and markers and/or paint. What you are going to do is make your jeans into denim cutoff shorts. Mark with your Sharpie a small line on the side of each pant leg on your jeans where you want to slice. (I would start off with a capri sized cut, because you can always cut more, but not add on what you've already cut off.) Then take your scissors and make a nice clean cut. Try your new shorts on before you make another cut because they might look shorter than you think. Once you have the length that you want, you can keep like that, normal denim jeans...or....mark them up with marker! Find cute tracers to trace or a design you want to copy onto your jeans. You can also find a nice paint color, generously paint your hand with that color, and stick your hand on your jeans. Make sure you are on a surface that can get messy! Have fun! :)
Tops: Tops are always the harder ones to alter to be new, but there is a couple of things you can do. One is to cut off the sleeves. If you have a long-sleeved shirt, carefully cut off the sleeves (measuring it with a Sharpie, like with the shorts) and make it into a 3/4 sleeved shirt, 1/2 sleeved, or even a tank top. Another thing you can do is bead it. Take a hot glue gun and some crystal beads from your crafts box and make a cute pattern directly on the shirt for a new look! I would hot glue on an ironing board, the shirt separated by the board so the glue doesn't seep through to the other side. Good luck! :)
Shoes: Converse looking old? Flats getting scuffed? To get a newer look, but keep the same shoes, try these tips. For shoes with laces, spice it up with different colored laces, neon is bold, but can look innovative. You can usually find laces at places like Hot Topic, Payless, or Claires.
For shoes that are getting scuffed, try a polish or if they're black, fill in the scuffed part with a black Sharpie. It works! Also to prevent weird rain lines and water damage of your suede boots, you can get a spray that will protect your boots. The one I have is called Rain and Stain Guard. I got mine at Payless.
And lastly, if your parents haven't already bugged you about this, working really makes it all so much easier and more fun! :)
Please give me your questions in the comments!
