As a post-collegiate 20 something, there's an a life "upgrade" that must happen to head toward your real world self; similar to that which happened between high school and college but MUCH more intense.
One of the things that has to be upgraded is your 9-5 wardtrobe. And here's my suggestions for doing so...
- Get out of the "Juniors" department. It may work on the weekends but unless you work at the Disney Channel or someplace really laid back you can't go to work looking like this:
but this --> 
will work.- Get out of the College/Greek/Misc College org T-shirts. Now I love my t-shirts along with the next person (especially when you realize how much you spent on them...) BUT when you find yourself wearing shirts that say "Homecoming 2003" and it's 2008 it's time to let them go as part of your default jeans + T-shirt weekend uniform. Try subbing them out for a plain tee like this one from Old Navy.
- Get the 5 essentials: a classic coat, a pair of black pants, a classic black dress, jeans, and a white shirt AND make sure they fit correctly). These are the basics of any wardrobe and set the foundation for your closet. After all, how many events is a white shirt and jeans or black pants inappropriate?
- Get some nice shoes. Rainbows, sneakers, and wedges aren't going to cut it everyday anymore. You need at least one pair of black shoes and one pair of brown, and they should be closed toe.
Happy shopping. :-)
