Life as an Intern: Killer Style.

Saturday, May 21, 2011

Killer Style.

The ladies here have killer style. I mean, it's the best kind though. Diversity.

There are the undergrounds, raw style chicks. No labels. No ironing. No clear cut lines. Lovely floral patterns, all indie and hipster like. Straight out of a vintage store.

Then there are the professionals. Black pencil skirts. White 3/4 sleeves, collared shirts straight for from the dry cleaners. Petite heels, just enough. With the hair swept back in a just-right bun.

Then there are the urbans. The tight jeans, big glossy sunglasses. Neon, everywhere. Trendy sneakers a la Simmons sisters.

I can pull off looking pretty trendy and tiger-like for Indiana PA, but damn I could learn a few things from these females. They make it look so easy. I walk out the house thinking, 'alright, i think i'm doing okay today.' As soon as I get on the Metro I feel like a frumpy mess.

This is when I need Megan Hall.

Why 'hideyourbadge'?

Most interns in DC work 'on the hill'. The bosses in pencil skirts and bowties find it obnoxious that the interns 'on the hill' wear their badges everywhere. They think they are flaunting their lowly intern status, and should therefore Hide Their Badge.

I don't work on the hill. I have the utmost respect for those that do. Their hours are longer, their work is harder, and, most importantly, their dress code is much more strict. So, I say wear that badge with pride. You worked to get there, you're working there now, and let's be real, DC wouldn't run without the slave labor that are unpaid internships. So, get good use out of that badge.

Coming into the internship scene, I planned to Hide My Badge, as I had read online that it is looked down upon. I now realize that we also have power in this situation. They need us. So, by golly, they can look at our badges. Especially those on Capitol Hill. If all you've given us is a badge and b*tch work, let me flaunt my damn badge.
