So this week I had an interview at Gap! It wasn’t what I expected. I was asked one question (“Tell me about yourself…”) before the interviewer told me to pick out a cute outfit for myself or a friend. Automatically, I walked over to the bright and colorful khakis. And what did I choose?
I want to say I chose these. It was such a blur! All I know is that I wish I would have started the outfit with something brighter. I am a sucker for earth tones.
There is still hope though, and hopefully in a week I’ll have good news. If not, I will continue to job search. I know I’m not alone in this boat, and I guess it’s nice to have so much spare time.
I love Gap because everything is so wearable! I have learned that buying super eclectic clothing will only result in me having a bright and pretty closet of things I don’t wear. I mentioned this a few days ago, but I love the idea of incorporating funky prints and details into simple, classic styles. I’m also trying to learn to accessorize. It turns out my new roommate has a thousand necklaces. And she said I can borrow them whenever I’d like :) so that will be fun.
Are you a minimalist when it comes to fashion, or do you enjoy accessorizing? Would you go for bright khakis or the earthy ones? :)

I love brights! I just bought the cutest bright red pants from New York and Company.

Neutrals for sure. Accessories can be bright, but I’ve found that versatile (aka, “boring”) clothes are much better in the long run.

Earthy for sure…I grew up with hot pink and neon green as my favorite colors, so when I wear them now I feel like a little kid (I have a baby face which doesn’t help)! I love fun accessories but you pretty much nailed it with the “decorating the closet” thing! I’m sure your interview went well!
