Do buy wrinkle resistant clothes.
Don't buy the cheapest iron in Kmart that inevitably will live you rumpled.
Do keep an extra tie in the office (guys) which is versatile to wear with any colored suit/shirt. You will eventually drop something on your tie (if lucky).
Don't wear ugly ties. It's like painting a large ugly, colorful arrow to your groin. Unpleasentness...
Do have at least six work outfits. Drycleaning/laundry will be forgotten.
Don't wait until you have thirty pounds of laudry stuffed in your closet. It gets terrifying.
Do have a talented fashion student roommate that can hem pants and even better make suits.
Don't try to cut your bangs at home right before an important engagement (like I've ever done that)
Do buy clothes that are comfortable. You may be wearing them for 18+ hours.
Don't keep eating the free snacks. Your comfortable clothes will soon become uncomfortable

The Dos and Don'ts of Corporate Dress
So I decided to repost my do's and don't's of dressing for success in a corporate setting here, since, let's be honest, I will in no way keep up two blogs. I hardly do one (which I hope to remedy in the near future and beyond)
See below if you need to dress for success!
Do dress for success.
Don't leave clothes shopping until AFTER taking a 45 day vacation.
Do carry Band-Aids at all time for the inevitable uncomfy shoes and random ridiculous popped blood blisters.
Don't get mosquito bites on parts of your body that you will have to show in the office during summer.
Do wear stylish, low heeled shoes that can be used for walking to the snack room seven times a day.
Don't wear shoes that 'fart'.
Do buy blazers and pant/skirt suits of various non-descript colors/styles so they can be potentially worn more than one time a week.
Don't wear yourself ragged shopping in the middle of the summer to the point of heat exhaustion.
Do bring a dainty hankerchief (is that really how you spell that?) to wipe the persperation from your brow before going into the office.
Don't try to see if you stepped on the back of your pant's leg while balancing on one heel in the elevator.
Do hang up wrinkle-able clothes.
Don't leave them in a heap until your room looks like my room.
Mind you. These are basic essentials. More to come later.
