Outfit: Business Casual

Last week I had my first interview session for prospective students, and we interviewers were asked to wear "business casual" clothing.  We were actually told we could wear jeans provided they had no holes, but I took the opportunity to dress up a tad.  I've been dying to wear this Issa dress ever since I got it (at 40% off the clearance price, plus the savings from my Banana Card!).  It's insanely flattering  with the wrap-tie waist and just long enough to be professional.  It goes nicely with this color blocked cardigan that I picked up for less than $10 from the Kohl's clearance rack:


Since there are a lot of colors in the top and cardigan, I kept the accessories neutral, with my trusty Lim bag making another appearance.  I could have gone with black shoes but wanted to brighten the outfit a little, so I chose nude pumps.  Nude shoes are a wonderful wardrobe staple that visually elongate my legs (especially paired with the perfect length and the tie at the natural waist).  I hope to get a lot of wear out of this outfit!

Dress: Issa London for Banana Republic
Cardigan: Narciso Rodriguez for DesigNation at Kohl's
Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target
Shoes: Target/Merona
