5 Outfits for a Summer Internship

Summer is in full swing, and for those of us lucky enough to snag an internship for the summer, we’re spending our mornings stressing over what to wear. The typical college look of Nike shorts and a t-shirt just won’t cut it. We’re advised to dress smart casual or business casual on a daily basis, and with a small income that can be hard to achieve. Today I’m sharing my 5 outfits for a summer internship!

All of these pieces came straight from my closet. Except for the pants, there was no additional purchasing of clothes! And I’m pretty proud about that! I tried my best to find the links to all off the items or at least find some sort of similar option. Hope you enjoy!

I’m all about subtle details, and the crochet overlay on this top does just that!

TOP: Marshall’s

PANTS: Costco Buffalo David Bitton Ladies’ Ankle Length Skinny Pant in Grey
These are my new favorite pants. They’re stretchy, soft, and dressy enough for work. I’m 5’2″ and typically wear a size 0 or 1/2 in pants. These are the size 2 and they fit great! Just the right length as well which is hard to find for a short frame.

NECKLACE: Nordstrom Rack
* Can’t find the one pictured, but this one from Charming Charlie’s would look just as cute!

SHOES: Target circa 2012ish

Again with the subtle details. The buttons on the back of this top add just that extra amount of detail that really makes it stand out!

SHOES: Kohl’s

This is one of the simpler outfits from the week, but it’s so comfy! Those pants are stretchy and a nice loose sweater really ties it all together!

A simple grey t-shirt paired with black pants and a gold necklace is one of my favorite looks. It’s neutral (which I love!) and it looks simple and elegant.

What I love most about this outfit is the pop of color in the shoes and the zipper on the back of the shirt! Zippers are one of my weaknesses when it comes to shirts, and it makes this plain black t-shirt a little more unique.

TOP: Marshall’s

PANTS: American Eagle Jeans

SHOES: Target

What do you wear during a typical work week? Are you spending your summer at an internship? I’d love to know!

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and I’ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

@cattyelizabeth5 and I are back after 3 long months, and we’re so excited to share the first episode of season 5 of Girls Talk! It’s a good one and a pretty great way to spend an hour of your quarantine 💁‍♀️
These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestl These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestly it feels like yesterday. I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my “Memories” was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
