So for the last couple of months I’ve been interning at Fashion Journal, which has been great (experience, contacts, exposure, all the juicy stuff), but it’s also meant that I’ve had almost no time to myself. I’ve hardly even been reading, that’s how dire the situation is. Anyway, I’m done now, so you’ll be hearing from me more often. Yay!
I wrote quite a few pieces for them during the internship (you can read my favourite one here), and I won’t link them all because that’s not only super boring but also a little self-absorbed (lol), but I am going to share my Week in Work Outfits with you, because imo, it’s pretty fucking cool.
A LOT of work went into the planning for these outfits. Like, an embarrassing amount. My bedroom floor was almost invisible, my poor little brain was swimming with half-baked and terrible ideas, not to mention that I had to use a tripod in PUBLIC. Anyway. Hope you enjoy xx
A week in work outfits with FJ intern Julia Kittelty
Working in a creative role, it can be difficult to know how to dress for the day. Instead of having a set uniform of crisp white shirts and tailored black pants (as much as I love both), an ever-changing schedule means every morning requires a set of questions. Am I running around, or just sitting at my desk? Do I need to dress specifically for a project? And most importantly, will I be in the background of someone’s TikTok?
This week, Fashion Journal intern Julia Kittelty takes us through her week in work outfits. Balancing two jobs, university and an internship means Julia’s weekdays are packed pretty full, and often her outfits need to take her from class to work to an afternoon of interning.
With a penchant for thrifting (and a part-time job at a secondhand store), her outfits feature lots of enviable pieces from the ’90s and early 2000s. A fan of layering and cute accessories, an outfit isn’t complete for her without an abundance of jewellery. Read on to see what garments she’s gravitated to.
Monday:
Today I had a short shift at the boarding house in the morning and then worked from home interning for Fashion Journal for the remainder of the day. Although one of the best things about working from home is being able to wear your comfy house clothes, I do still enjoy doing a little something. And of course, I had to look cute for my lunch break trip to Touchwood for an oat iced latte.
Here I’m wearing Worship Supplies jeans I recently purchased and had altered to fit me a little better around the waist; I love the baggy look but don’t always love having to wear a belt. This red top is one of my ‘on-shift’ purchases from Storehouse Thrift, where I work a few days a week. I fell in love with the frilled sleeves – they drape over my hands in the most perfect way. The scarf was also a Storehouse Thrift find.
I went for my favourite pair of Dr Martens, which are deceivingly comfortable now that I’ve worn them in (it only took me 18 months). I’m wearing my everyday bag, which at the moment is my Baggu! I recently popped a cute little Hello Kitty charm on there, and I’m currently on the hunt for more. The cuter the better!
See what I wore for the rest of the week here.
