The interview outfit

Vest- H&M.                                         
Tube Pant-River Island 
Clutch&Sunglasses-Primark             
Shoes-LaModa

Just the other day I was ecstatic to find out that I had my first interview for a pr internship, this one lasted 3 months and I was ridiculously nervous before during and then I was filled with dread after. Usually I like to think I'm calm and collected in interviews, but this one in particular couldn't have gone any worse! So to start with I was half an hour late, mentally scarred from the train and I made the decision to wear my most uncomfortable shoes! (Well done Sian) this weather needs to stop being so unpredictable I mean how can a girl dress appropriately when it's arctic one minute and desert like the next! So in true Sian style I went for black and white so before id even arrived my my makeup ws running down my face and I was looking like the mrs doubtfire mask when it got run over. (I hope you know this film because it's my all time favourite) anyway Sian get on with it! The low down is I was a nervous wreck, I caught my jacket on the door and then when asked if I has any questions I asked where the interviewers dress was from! (Sometimes I don't realise why I'm saying clearly) a this week I was lucky enough to find some bargains such as the H&M vest for £4 which I wasn't sure of at first but in sure it'll be great for Magaluf (eeeeeep!) then this adorable clutch bag and sunglasses from Primark I think it came to around £7 for the both of them. I've had a pretty chilled week depending on how I look at it, I won't deny that most days I'm in a frenzy to secure an internship. Although I'm aware from my search for a part time job how tough it is out there right now.                                  Stay cool guys, Happy Friday.x

The work outfit

I may moan about working on retail only part time I assure you, 90% of the time but the best thing is bing able to wear what you like. Within reason or course! While not all companies operate like this River Island continues to allow uniform allowances that are very popular with the staff. Basically as long as you dressed on style and appropriately you'll be allowed to go about your day, I usually opt for comfort as I'm on my feet and running around all day similar to today. The only rule is that all of the clothing must be from River Island, but with RI's impressive stock at the minute it's never a problem finding something you like. I'm currently on my way to do some overtime now so excuse my foul mood if it begins to show itself. As the weather right now is ridiculously unpredictable with heat that you cannot imagine and then predicted showers for today. My best bet is to of course dress comfortably and have either your top or bottom that would be suitable if a heat wave decided to present itself. The blazer is from Missguided and it was something that was worn as soon as it arrived (which was just yesterday might I add!) I received compliments everywhere I went, i think it's because it looks so much more expensive than it was at £25 and with it being so lightweight it's perfect for the current strange weather conditions that we Brits are currently experiencing. Cami tops are so simple and they're still my favourite kind of top as they are so versatile and like this cute little number there's so many designs and colours to chose from! I think it took me about 20 minutes to decide on this one. I finished the outfit with my favourite River Island mom jeans, now I know everyone's drooling over TOPSHOP jeans but I don't really see any difference between them and the ones that I currently own. I don't know maybe it's because we're meant to be enemies that I'm all in favour of RI!
