Summer in Washington DC brings with it a flood of inexperienced interns, all set to trot their way around the city for a summer, set to waste people's time in their offices, go to happy hour and brag to their friends at home about they saw the President's motorcade.
Usually, the summer interns represent some of DC's worst dressed. Cocktail dresses and miniskirts on the ladies, boat shoes and wrinkled khakis on the gents. I didn't think anyone could surpass the summer intern inappropriate meter. Until, that is, I saw the soon to be attorney.
You see, I'm spending my summer studying for the bar exam which means that after work, I head out to school for the 6pm bar review lecture every night. Because other students from other schools are also studying at my location, i'm getting the opportunity to observe a whole new batch of people.
As I was walking into class the other night I saw a girl leaving the 2pm lecture (yes, it was 4 hours long) wearing hooker heels, a pencil skirt with a back slit up to her bottom and a blazer, none of which matched (not that that would've helped).
Honey, your cheap platform strappy heels, paired with everything else, make you look like a hooker and do nothing to convey an image of professionalism. If you want people to take you seriously as an attorney, you might not want them to think you're moonlighting ummm.......actually under the moonlight.
Buy some nice pumps, and a bigger skirt. Unless sleeping your way around the firm is on your bucket list.
