As the temperature begins to cool and you settle into your work routine, it’s time to revamp your internship style! Whether you work in a lab or at a fashion magazine, it’s never a bad idea to look your best. When you’re confident about how you look, you feel better, which leads you to perform better. Now that’s what I call the psychology of fashion. (Am I right or am I right?)

Without further ado, I present to you the key pieces to curate your professional look: 

The Trench Coat:

Pair this coat with any outfit for streamlined and professional look when it starts getting chilly. 

The Cardigan:

While the cardigan is amazing for any season, it’s especially useful for fall. Layer the cardigan under a coat or over a blouse for those unpredictable weather days. 

The Heeled Flat:

For those days when you want to wear heels, but can’t stand to run around in them all day. 

The Ankle Pants:

Dress these bad boys up with flats/heels or down with a pair white sneaks. 

The Black Tote:

Believe me when I say you won’t need another purse after you get yourself a black tote. This bag looks slick and professional with any outfit, especially in the fall and winter.
