The First Week At A New Job, When You Want To Look Sure

The First Week At A New Job, When You Want To Look Sure

A new job or internship asks for something between dressy and casual, and a small budget makes every piece count. This set is a button front tunic, brown wide leg jeans, square toe boots and a cotton wrap, four pieces that mix into a few different workdays.

  1. The long sleeve tunic for mornings with no time to plan

    The tunic top has a V neckline and decorative buttons down the center front, cut from 92% polyester and 8% spandex. It is machine washable, and the listing says packing creases come out with a quick wash. Wear it over leggings or under a jacket.

  2. The wide leg jeans for a Saturday with nowhere to be, Brown

    These jeans are high waisted with a wide leg, a button and zipper fly and five pockets. The denim is 78% cotton, 20% polyester and 2% elastane, so it has some stretch. Brown is an easy neutral, though whether it suits you is a matter of taste. Check the size chart before ordering.

  3. The knee high boots for a gray Tuesday on the way to work

    The boots reach the knee, with a square toe, a platform and a block heel of 1.8 inches. A side zipper makes them easy on and off, and the sole is thermoplastic elastomer. They finish jeans, skirts or dresses, so they carry the set from desk to evening.

  4. The scarf for a cold flight and the long day after it, Organic Cotton Birch

    The wrap is 100% GOTS certified organic cotton in a birch shade, breathable and machine washable. It works as a scarf, shawl or light blanket, which helps when an office runs cool or a commute drags on. The color is a matter of taste, and it comes in one size.
