101: Building Your Business Wear Wardrobe! (Photos)


I just graduated from my BCom program in August 2013! (6 months ago now. Doesn't feel like it's been that long... huh, wow!)
Two weeks into the Business program, we were all to attend our first conference - told to stay the whole day, practice our business etiquette, and most important (& most challenging for me at the time):
to dress
PROFESSIONALLY.

Now at that time, being Business students, one might think that we all had our suits bought & ready to go, right? Oh, no no.
After that weekend, I made it a sort-of "mission" of mine to slowly but surely build a more COMPLETE business wear wardrobe than I had started with, so I'd be ready for the rest of that year (& even for work afterwards!)

So, here's a quick run down of the different components you might need to wear for work post-grad,
I hope it helps!!
