Unpaid Intern? No problem!





 Mint green makes another appearance today! I wore this to my internship, which has a business casual dress code. This outfit was actually inspired by an outfit I pinned on Pinterest (right). I had actually seen this skirt at Goodwill and left it, then saw the inspiration photo, and went back and bought the skirt. A lot of old lady suits come in fun colors. This skirt, I believe, was once a part of a suit. The skirt is not quite my size, but with the belt it worked out just fine. I really love mint and navy together. How about you?

The navy sweater was a clearance find from Old Navy. Long weekends, like Labor Day and Martin Luther King Day, usually bring GREAT clearances to stores. This particular sale was on MLK weekend and made the clearance an extra 30% off. I don't think I paid more than 6 dollars for the sweater. The belt and shoes have made appearances before on the blog.

I've bought tons of skirts for my internships that were previously owned. As an unpaid intern, it's hard to look professional when you aren't making any money! I look for skirts at Goodwill that are either at or below the knee and that fit but are not too tight. If there is a slit in the back, make sure it doesn't go up too high!
Here are my favorite internship finds from consignment stores:
There really is a skirt for every occasion there, right?
