Whether you have already locked down an internship or are still making the rounds for interviews, you might need to update your closet this summer. If you have an internship that requires a more sophisticated wardrobe, it is probably time to trade your ripped jeans and crop tops for some nice pants and a blouse. And because lots of college students are a little tight on funds by this time in the semester, it’s best to try not to spend too much money on shopping for your internship. That’s why Valley is here to help you look good for your internship without breaking the bank.
Here are a few places to start when looking to update your look from “daylong” to “day job”
