    I’ve never heard the phrase “Business Appropriate” before. If they asked you to dress “Business Casual” that means you can wear khakis, slacks or an appropriate skirt (keep the length in mind, no minis) and a button down shirt or sweater. No jacket/blazer is necessary. The best way to find out is look at what other people are wearing on your first week. ♥ || ♪♫ Br0wn Eyǝd G!rl ♫♪ || ♥

    Business appropriate usually means 3 pieces.

    Examples:
    -Suit jacket, suit pants/skirt, blouse
    -cardigan, blouse, dress pants
    -sweater set, skirt
    -sweatervest, blouse, skirt
    -blazer, dress pants or skirt, blouse

    2 pieces:
    I’m sure you would be fine with a work appropriate dress plus a blazer-type jacket or cardi as well. Be sure to cover your legs with nylons.

    In the hot summer months, you can usually get away with short sleeve blazers or short sleeve sweater sets, but I would look around at what everyone else is wearing before you try. Just me.
