One Shirt, Two Suits

The relentless job search comes with one endearing prospect, new clothes! The dreaded interview, complete with sweaty palms, stammering thoughts, and a killer pencil skirt.

I can't freaking wait.

In a perfect world, I imagine stepping out of my cab, approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled interview time, looking strikingly similar to

{Garance Doré}

I know, you're right...I don't have a job yet, so spending money on cab fare is erroneous. Ok yes and it's Spring, so a wool suite would just look ridiculous. 

After a long day of cover letters, resumes, LinkedIn, and the various other duties in post-grad life, I unwind with my favorite part of personal branding- power outfitting. My next plan of action, is to take these suits and introduce them to my mom in the most professional and persuasive powerpoint I can muster, in hopes that she'll too realize the effect of high-suit investing...and take me shopping.
