Hello everyone! So yesterday I had an interview at my college to see whether I can do the next level of my Beauty Therapy course. Thankfully I got in which I'm really pleased about and I can't wait to start learning all the spa treatments in September! I wasn't too sure what to wear to this interview as I knew it wouldn't be as formal as a job interview, but I still wanted to make a good first impression. So I opted for a smart/ casual look with a dressier top half and a simple pair of skinny jeans - I wanted to be comfortable but at the same time well presented.
For my top, I went with my new Topshop Grey Scallop Lace Vest which I think is very pretty and flattering. I love how the underneath cover up finishes just above the waist line on my jeans, but the lace material is a little longer so covers the top of my jeans up! The back of the top is completely lace and pretty sheer, so I knew I had to pair it with a jacket that would keep me looking smart. I decided to wear my navy blazer from Primark which is light weight and still nice to wear in the warmer weather. I think Primark's blazers are amazing, they have a huge range of colours and you can often find them in the sale for around £11! My jeans are a simple pair of light blue jeans from New Look that I bought ages ago, but I'm sure they still sell a similar looking pair. I love wearing lighter coloured jeans in the warmer months, especially on the cooler days, as they can still look Summery when paired with a pretty top. The shoes I wore are my Miss Selfridge Eloise Nude flats which I bought last summer (they were actually featured in my very first haul!). I love the pink detailing on the strap and they're the kind of shoes that go with any outfit.
For accessories, my bag is from New Look and is a gorgeous light tan tote bag with a short handle (it also comes with a long handle you can attach). I picked this bag up the other day and I absolutely love it! For my necklace, I wanted something simple yet at the same time added some nice detail around the neck, so I went for my Dolly Bow Bow Vintage Bow necklace. I love how the metal looks old and tarnished, definitely very vintage looking! Finally I also wore a simple pair of nude rose stud earrings just to complete the look. I really like this outfit as it's the kind of one that can work for almost any ocassion as it is half smart, half casual.
