Life is full of adventures and uncertainty. It’s a place for everyone to find a dream and a life of their own. As a student getting ready to graduate from college, the real world is about to start. With an internship in the summer and then graduation, a career is beckoning. I figured it was a great opportunity to gain some unique inspiration when it comes to business attire. As a motto for the future, it’s time to make your own luck and to find some wide open spaces. Meet some new faces and don’t forget to wear some green today. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
St. Patrick’s Day is a Day to celebrate the Irish. Erika Fox, an entrepreneur and blogger of Retro Flame, is an Irish girl perusing her dreams in New York City. As the inspiration for this post, I was motivated to combine styling business attire and the national Irish holiday. When it comes to business-wear, they can be quite boring looks. In order to look professional, it is assumed that one must look boring as well. To whomever has never left home and never struck out trying, I’m here to change that outlook!
Creating a colorful, profession look is a lot easier than it appears to be. The key is to go for the monochromatic look. Since the one-colored look is a huge trend right now, it only works to your benefit. Boden is a company that knows how to have fun with the professional attire. This paisley, button-up shirt is from Boden and it went perfectly with this green, vest from Anthropologie. With the buttons down the back, it adds a unique twist to the basic sweater vest. The St. Patrick’s Day green only made it more festive for the occasion. When it comes to pants, the most comfortable style is the jogger. The elastic openings on the waist and ankles allow for an easy fit, while they still remain loose in the legs. When Banana Republic combined business with leisure, I couldn’t have been more excited.
To pull the look together, have some fun with your styling. Add a cute clutch and some retro shoes to amp up the outfit. Finish it off with a fun necklace and a festive pair of shades and your dreams will no longer hollow. Don’t be scared to find some wide open spaces! You’ll never know what luck will bring you.
