Olivia Pope Inspired Work/Intern Lookbook

Updated: Apr 14, 2020

Professional attire is one of my favorite areas when it comes to styling. Living and working in DC for the past 4 years has definitely rubbed off on me. But hands down one of my biggest inspirations for work/intern attire is Olivia Pope from Scandal. She kills it. Every. Single. Time. Her style is the epitome of what I try to look like when I go to the office everyday.

So I created a lookbook inspired by the infamous Ms. Pope. And the biggest thing that I want you to take away from this post is that you don't have to spend a million dollars to look like Olivia Pope. You can do it on any budget. Most of the pieces for the looks I created I found on sale or thrifted. I also wore the same black pants in almost every outfit . Looking great in professional attire is all about how you mix and match. If you know the style/aesthetic you are trying to achieve, the possibilities are literally endless. One pair of black pants can literally be 6 great outfits if you know how to style them. I plan on doing a post soon on the best places to find affordable work clothes so look out for that. But I hope this lookbook helps you when you have a big meeting at work, or if you have a presentation to give at your internship, or if you just need ideas in general for a great work outfit. The next time you need outfit inspiration, just know that it's handled ;). xo
