Thinking of handing out some resumes sometime soon? A great way to impress a potential employer is to look polished and professional and wear something that allows you to incorporate elements of your personality and aura.

Invest in a fitted boyfriend style blazer like the one to the right — it's the easiest way to come off in a professional way and the slightly puffed-up sleeves give the look a structured and defined silhouette. The blazer is in a versatile beige and takes little thought to coordinate into any outfit, but pick a color that you feel comfortable in.

Pair the blazer with a pair of high-waisted tights and a plain top underneath — it's simple but it's a great base to accessorize. Add a great collar necklace and an amazing oversized men's-style watch to complement the structured look of the blazer.

To keep the look formal, wear a great pair of patent black pumps! The shoes don't have to be too intricate since we want to keep the look professional.

1. Blazer: This is a tailored basic to keep in your closet and add a formal touch to almost any outfit. Try a slightly padded style; it fits very comfortably and makes the look more tailored. (Urban Behavior, $35; other great colored options available at Dynamite, $40)

2. High-Waisted Pants: These elastic high-waisted pants are seriously comfortable and the waistband hugs close to your hips, creating a sleek silhouette. The black vertical ribbing, although subtle, adds length your legs and creates a slimming effect. (Zara, $40)

3. Collar Necklace: This sleek collar necklace sits as a choker and brings emphasis to the neckline. It is easy enough to wear that it doesn't overpower the overall look. (Aldo Accessories, $15)

4. Oversized Men's-Style Watch: Add a masculine touch to the look with a great two-toned chocolate gold and gold oversized men's watch to keep you running on time! (Aldo Accessories, $40)

5. Earrings: Keep it conservative with the earrings since there are a few accent pieces already. A pair of plain gold earrings ties the whole outfit together. (Aldo Accessories or Forever 21, $10)

6. Black Patent Pumps: You can never go wrong with a pair of patent black pumps! These amazing almond-toe pumps elongate your legs for any outfit. The pumps keep the outfit looking sophisticated and business-formal to offset the accessories. (Aldo, $90)

The featured pieces are great bases for a polished look. Add your touch or favorite lucky charm to help make the job-hunt process more comfortable and stylish. Bring your confidence and positive attitude along with your stylish ensemble and you'll be able to impress anyone who comes your way!
