My friend LP, a graduate student, is participating in a 2-week policy program in Washington DC. She was excited about the program but concerned about 'professional-izing' her current jean/t-shirt/sweater warerobe for conservative, suit-oriented WDC. She already has a dark grey "interview" suit, but wanted at least one more suit plus some non-t-shirt tops.
The Resale Boutique started building LP's 'professional-ized' warerobe with a black Via Spiga pants suit for $49.00.
We're picturing LP in her new-to-her suit looking something like this:
Sleeveless tops under the suit jacket for steamy summer days in Washington DC. A low wedged pump to make commuting on the Metro more comfortable. Simple jewelry and an "all-business" laptop bag complete the look.
In addition to the suit, LP found three colorful tops to put under her suit(s) and a black pencil skirt to work into the mix.
Bonus: LP also found two summer dresses for "wedding season" (she'll be attending five weddings this year).
Double bonus: those dresses could also do double duty for business.
Add a suit jacket, pointy-toed flats or pumps, and some conservative jewelry and you have an easy day-to-evening look. Example below:
Total bill: $141.00 for a suit, skirt, three tops, and two summer dresses.
