GO FORMALS FOR INTERVIEWS : remember first impression is the last impression..


This is the second part of the College Fashion.Today I want to go over what to wear to an interview for a job or internship, a process that most college girls are going through now or will be soon!

An old cliche applies to the interview process: you need to dress for success!  It sounds stupid, but it’s very true: what you wear to an interview is just as important as what’s on your resume.


First impressions are formed in 7 seconds.  38% of  first impression is based on inflection and tone of voice (how you say things), 7% is based on what you actually say, and a whopping 55% of a first impression comes from NONVERBAL cues!  In short, more than half of every first impression is based on how you look!



Be Prepared

The first step in figuring out what to wear to your interview is to do some research!
Find out what industry the firm is part of, talk to other people who have worked there if possible, even creep outside their office checking out what current employees are wearing if you want!Also, this sounds obvious but can sometimes get overlooked: take note if they specify a certain dress code on their website, in an email to you or in the job listing!  If they don’t specify what dress code you’re supposed to wear, assume that they want professional business dress, and go as conservative as you can with your wardrobe.  It’s always better to be over dressed than under dressed!

Sample Outfits

A lot of what you should wear to an interview depends on what industry you’re trying to get a job in!  Here are some ideas for what to wear to interviews in different industries:
Conservative Industries – Accounting, Finance, Law, Consulting, etc. :



Go for a simple and chic look if you’re interviewing in a conservative industry like accounting, finance, law or consulting, or if you just aren’t sure about the dress code for your interview.  You can’t go wrong with a basic black skirt-suit (a skirt and blazer made of the same material), white collared shirt, simple black pumps, nude pantyhose, a black bag, and pearls.

Creative Industries – Advertising, Graphic Design, Music, etc. :




Hair & Makeup

When it comes to doing your hair and makeup for a job interview, just remember: less is more.  You should try to look as polished as possible while still keeping your makeup simple and understated.
Do Wear:
  • Your hair in a clean and simple style
  • Concealer if you need it
  • A small amount of translucent powder to get rid of shine
  • Mascara
  • Neutral-toned lip gloss or lipstick
  • A small amount of eyeliner & neutral eyeshadow (optional)

Don’t Wear:
  • Your dirty hair teased out to here
  • Tons of caked-on foundation
  • Smokey eye makeup
  • Brightly colored eyeshadow
  • Glittery or super bright lip gloss

Summary

At the end of the day, dressing for an interview is about dressing for the job you want, and showing your professionalism via your clothing choices.  If you follow the tips above, I know your next interview will be that much more successful. 
And this may help you guys in the best way possible..ENJOY:

SUMMER FASHION FOR COLLEGES

One thing I get asked probably more than anything else is what you should wear to class in college.Obviously, classroom attire is a controversial subject among college students!
So what do you wear to class, what don’t you wear, what constitutes “dressing up”, and what doesn’t?

What To Wear To Class:


Even if you only have a few minutes to get ready, it’s not difficult to wear something cute and comfortable to class. Resist the urge to throw on sweats!
outfit #1 :

  • Jeans: Skinny jeans in bright colours like pink, red and green are trendy and bold college wear. You can also choose more subtle styles like slim fit jeans or those with torn edges at the bottom.



  • T-shirts: Tees in bright pastel shades come with witty sayings or phrases, making them great for college. Lightweight thin tees with large rounded necks look great layered with a cotton jacket.





  • outfit #2 :

    Dhoti Pants: Billowing in the middle and tapering at the bottom, dhoti pants in different cuts are popular in college wear today. Versatile and available in solid colours or patterns, they team brilliantly with everything from cotton tees, slim fit kurtis and blouses to tank tops worn with jackets.



    outfit #3 :

    Simple & Chic :


    This is a simple outfit that I would wear a lot  – a pair of skinny jeans, a long tank top. I would finish it off with some cute metallic or brightly-colored ballet flats, a long necklace, and a cute tote bag.

    I wear many variations on this outfit in the cooler months, but it’s one of my go-to’s whenever I’m pressed for time and still want to look nice. So easy and still so chic!
    outfit #4 :
    Salwar Kameez: 
    Churidar and kameez, as well as short regular fit kameez with dupatta are classic college wear. A-line designs and different necklines in decorative motifs, are common. Go for cotton kameez in bright patterns for a breezy and comfortable summer look.



    Kurtis with Leggings: As a fashionable Indo-Western outfit, medium length kurtis with leggings are great. Bright coloured leggings give you a slim silhouette while the embroidered or patterned kurti balances the look on top.


    It’s All About The Basics

    At the end of the day, if you have most of the wardrobe essentials for college girls, then you’re basically good to go when it comes to getting dressed for class.
    Most of the time, a cute pair of jeans, a great top, and some accessories are all you need. If you want to wear something more interesting, though, I say go for it! I’m all in favor of showing off the clothes you love & self-expression through fashion.
