Even if you traded in that hard-earned internship for a paid job delivering pizzas; even if you dropped out of school and stopped paying tuition; even if you sold a kidney, maybe two, on the black market in Thailand you still wouldn’t be able to afford a pair of $14,000 knee high alligator boots from Manolo Blahnik, or a $20,000 Hermes “Birkin” bag.

First and foremost, thank you for all the positive feedback on my last article! Many of you suggested that I include prices for the outfits, which will be done from this point forward. You also shared what you wanted to see in future articles. Business casual was the most requested, so that will be the focus of this week’s article.

Business casual can also get very expensive, very fast, so I put together three different examples of business casual wear for under $100: Outfit #1: Interview Savvy Product Information: Blouse- Miss Selfridge, Skirt- Charlotte Russe, Headbands- Forever 21, Heels- Target, Earrings- Forever 21 Outfit Total: $92 Outfit #2: Internship Maven Outfit Total: $97.
