You graduate college.  You move to a new city.  You grow up.

Right?  Or, at least that’s what we are told.

In the past week, I have managed to take on another internship; and it’s one that requires “business professional” wear.  Yes, the same girl that was bragging weeks ago about not having to don professional wear in the most conservatively dressed city must now join the throngs….Well, to a certain extent.

Actually, I am going to ensure that I am able to stay true to my trendy self AND look professional!  (Truth: I actually now have an excuse to wear the pencil skirts hanging out in my closet!)

My goal is to be known as the cute and adorably dressed intern in the office!

And, of course, the professional outfits will take inspiration from Mad Men.  Then, maybe, I’ll find me a dapper man in this city…

PS:  Sadly, one cannot bike in a pencil skirt….At least not well……..

PPS:  Yes, I am sporting my signature lip color!
