<p>Prepping for the start of my internship this summer, I felt completely lost in the wardrobe department. Working for a fashion and tech start-up, I knew I had to look cute every day, but I also wanted to make sure that I was office-appropriate and business-ish enough. Dressing for a summer internship can be difficult, especially if your office requires you to wear business professional every day. I began to scroll through on Zara, Shopbop, Revolve, and more of my favorite online retailers for inspo. I added a few new staples to my wardrobe, but I also found that I could incorporate a lot of pieces I already had in my closet into my work outfits. These are some of my favorite picks for cute office attire if you are struggling with what to wear to work!</p>

<p>This blazer from Revolve by the brand Majorelle is the perfect statement piece in a work outfit. I would pair it with a white t-shirt or button down (depending on your office’s dress code) with a pair of black pants or Levi’s for a more relaxed look. A blazer is an amazing item to invest in because you can wear it all summer to work as well as out with friends or family for dinner.</p>

<p>I’m obsessed with these pants from Intermix! They are a trendy take on the classic black trouser. You can pair them with pretty much any blouse, flats, or heels, and show off your fashion sense while still looking professional.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3701" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3701" style="width: 459px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="alignnone wp-image-3701" src="https://tulanemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2018-06-26-at-10.07.13-AM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2018-06-26 at 10.07.13 AM" width="459" height="453" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3701" class="wp-caption-text">Zara</figcaption></figure>
<p>Work shoes are often super boring and not cute, but Zara has a great selection of loafers, mules, and flats that are trendy enough to be worn every day and are also office appropriate. I love these red loafers because they will spice up any outfit.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3703" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3703" style="width: 447px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="alignnone wp-image-3703" src="https://tulanemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2-37.png" alt="2" width="447" height="630" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3703" class="wp-caption-text">ASOS</figcaption></figure>
<p>Lastly, I love this striped button-down from ASOS; they have a great variety of work appropriate tops. The clean lines of this shirt are perfect for the office, but would also look cute tucked into a pair of jeans or cut offs on the weekend.</p>
<p>P.S.: here are some little fashion tips I’ve learned since starting my internship!</p>
<ol>
<li>Always bring a jacket or sweater because most offices are really air-conditioned in the summer.</li>
<li>Don’t over accessorize; excess jewelry can be distracting to getting your work done and less is always more (especially for work!)</li>
<li>Put your own spin on everything! Work clothing doesn’t need to be boring. Don’t be afraid to wear a printed button-down or blouse instead of a plain white one.</li>
<li>Wear what you’re comfortable in. You won’t be able to focus if you are uncomfortable in your outfit or fidgeting with it all day.</li>
</ol>
<p>Happy shopping!</p>
