<p>i'm starting up at an internship on monday at an engineering firm. i'm looking for some advice about what to wear. we're required to wear work boots which is kind of a bummer b/c what kind of female clothing matches with work boots. (we're supposed to dress nicely i.e. shirts w/ collars and khaki pants)</p>
<p>also, if anybody has advice about do's and don'ts of internships please pass them on to me! i'm kind of nervous about this whole thing b/c i'm one of the youngest ppl and i think i'm the only female...</p>
<p>Wear a nice, white button-up with a pretty camisole underneath--though nothing silky or lacy. A solid color. Get nice-cut khakis, one inch under the navel, rounded hip and thigh, slightly snug to the knee, and then a boot cut or flare. Have them come over the boots, but not touch the floor. You can always roll up the pants for a few minutes if you need to.</p>
<p>Yeah. If the weather is warm, get one of those tulip skirts that isn't as fitted as the pencil skirt. I think it's more conservative while still maintaining flattery. And a button up shirt (solid colored, because see-through can sometimes be risky) is nice. I've often seen girls wear sweaters over their dress shirts..</p>
<p>About the internship. I've never had one either, but I know that if I had an intern, I would want her to be relatively eager, but not super-annoying. :) Hope I helped.</p>
