A parent asked how to dress their college daughter for a summer internship without spending much. The host and team member Maddie built a capsule wardrobe of basics and a few statement pieces that mix and match across seasons, with specific counts of pants, tops, shoes, and layers.
I have a really exciting treat for you guys. So we received an email, and this is not the first time I've received this sort of request, which is I'm a mom. My daughter is either graduating college or has an internship this summer, and I want to help her have the appropriate clothing, but I don't want to, like, break the bank. And it's a real issue. Like, I get it. And so I decided to tap in to my team. Maddie is on my team. She is a junior or a rising senior in college, and so she is really, really tapped into what you guys need to help, whether you are the person having the internship in the new job or the mom trying to help. And so we've picked out basically, like, a capsule wardrobe that will work for summer internships, is pretty much, like, seasonless and takes, you know, x amount of pieces, like, three pairs of hands, six different tops, shoes, toppers, so that it can all mix and match for work and for going out. So we got you covered. And then Maddie was so cute. She's like, I don't want to be in the pictures alone. So I was like, okay. And then I was thinking about everything she had that she was wearing. And the good news is I had pieces like that in my closet already. And that's because a big part of this capsule are the basics that you need or your child will need in their wardrobe is the building blocks. These are building block pieces with a little bit of, like, spice added in here or there to make it not boring. But I always talk about a healthy, balanced wardrobe. This is that, like, 50% of the bottom that will serve them well, whether it's for an internship or they're starting work and they can build on it. So I hope you enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed doing it. And Maddie is a rising rock star, just so you know.
