Career Fair season has arrived, and us students know exactly what that means; time to make a good first impression. What says good first impression better than a perfectly put together business ensemble? College is all about creating your path in life and educating yourself for whatever your future career will be. In addition, you'll probably have to go on several interviews over the course of your time here. Whether you're attending the many career fair's Syracuse has to offer, or a club, and or any sort of job interview, you're going to want to be looking your absolute best. Here are just a few outfit ideas to take into consideration whenever you're getting ready for your next business casual or business formal venture:

1) Unique pencil skirt.

Pencil Skirt's are a classic fashion staple for any business event. Make a statement with this classic piece by picking a pencil skirt with unique details or a fun design.

2) Colorful blazer.

This is the best way to liven up any boring old interview outfit. By picking a blazer in a color that isn't a neutral tone, you'll make yourself stand out, and look that much more stylish than the rest of your competition.

3) Wide-leg trousers.

Trousers with a wider leg at the bottom are all the rage in fashion lately. Show your future employers that you can keep up with the latest trends in addition to being able to keep up in the workplace.

4) Fancy shorts with tights.


This is a great alternative to your normal trousers, especially with all the unseasonably warm weather we've been having so far this Winter. Stay cool, in more ways than one, by pairing your interview look with a fun pair of fancier shorts paired with some tights underneath.

5) Try a cape blazer.

For a slightly more casual but still exceedingly trendy look, try out a cape blazer for the day/night. Cape blazer's are less formal looking than your average blazer's, so try one of these bad boy's out for a slightly more informal event or interview.

6) Leather.

Leather is always a fun way to spice up any outfit, even an interview outfit believe it or not. Whether your pair your looks with some leather pants, or even a leather coated blazer you'll look edgy but still 100 percent put together.

7) Simple heels.

It's always about the shoes if you ask me. Despite how badly I know you want to whip out something extravagant and eye catchy maybe try for a simpler design. A simple pair of nice heels will make your outfit seem so much more fluid and prevent it from looking like you tried too hard.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
