DRESSED TO IMPRESS


Well let me start by introducing myself....i'm alyssa and i'm new to the style marauders so i'm just going to write about fashion mostly and issues around it. So lets start with the fashion issue that every teenage girl or boy has. It's almost summer time and school is almost out and you know what that means...yes summer jobs. May and June are the months that friends go out job hunting together, filling out thousands of applications hoping that at least one will call you back but what happens when you do get called back? What do you wear? They say a first impression is a lasting impression and how true it is. Even what you are wearing when you hand in the application can determine if you will get called back, sad but true. So i'm here to save those teens who stay up late going thru outfits to wear to the interview

When going for an interview it's important to show them that you are capable of being professional. But for interviews such as teenage retail stores like forever 21, wet seal, charlotte rousse, DEB, etc. it's also important to present to them that you can one, be up to date with the latest fashions and two, be a walking representation of the style the store presents. thats why its good to go with basic color clothing and then dress the outfit up with accessories to show a little bit of your personality. It's always safe to go with black skinny jeans, there's no worries of anything being revealing and black is always professional and skinny jeans are in. Shoes can also be an attention grabber, along with accessories they should stand out since your outfit will be simple, and these vintage shoes with a spice of 1920's american gangster dress shoes will certainly get a nod approval from the boss.
For stores such as hollister, abercrombie and fitch, aeropostle, gap, buckle,..etc they take pride in employees that wear thier clothing however, that doesn't mean you waltz in sporting a hollister tank and jeans with flip flops. BIG NO NOOOOOO!!!!!! just pick up some khaki's and a polo or nice blouse and you'll be fine. there not really that concerned if you are fashion forward.
Well if you have any questions or comments about what i wrote your welcomed to scream at me, either on the blog or email- chocoangel0821@juno.com
