What to Wear: "Casual" Pediatrics Workshop
If you're like me, the word CASUAL in the professional setting always makes me nervous. I have never quite understood why people are unable to use a descriptive terms with casual. For example, BUSINESS casual, WEEKEND casual, BRUNCH casual. There are so many terms that help make CASUAL so much less vague.
This weekend I embark on my first pediatrics experience in physician assistant (PA) school and guess what the dress code is....CASUAL. We have been encouraged to wear jeans and a "t-shirt like", but it is against my DNA to interact with patients (and their health care professional parents) looking as if I am attending an undergraduate lecture. If you feel similarly, THIS POST IS FOR YOU.
2. Professional & Easy Top: My favorite "professional and easy" tops come from Kohl's. Often, I can pick one up for under $20.00 and they look great with dress pants AND denim. The best part about these tops is that they are wash and wear and require NO IRONING to look fresh. I would encourage you to pick up a few Daisy Fuentes at Kohl's. They will quickly become closet go-to staples!
3. Favorite Flat: I swear by Antonio Melani flats from Dillard's. Even though they are a bit pricey, they LAST FOREVER and they commonly put them on sale around Christmas time and around the start of summer. This past Christmas, I got 3 pairs of flats for $68.00. This is less than one pair of flats FULL PRICE. You have to be willing to shop and wait to get a deal on these babies.
I opted not to wear any jewelry for fear that a kiddo would get death grip on one of my dangle earrings and rip it out, but this outfit would be easy to accessorize with a great dangle earring and bracelet for a more "dressed up" look!
My easy and practical outfit was a hit! Thankfully, I didn't feel overdressed or out of place...BUT like my dad always says "You can never be TOO overdressed, or TOO educated." Thank you all reading!

How did I decide to tackle the word casual and dress for my first pediatrics workshop?
1. Dark Denim: My favorite pair of dark denim is from Ann Taylor Loft. I got mine on MEGA sale ($2.88), but I still recommend this denim (even at full price)! The cut is PERFECT and the pockets in the back are flattering on any time of booty!2. Professional & Easy Top: My favorite "professional and easy" tops come from Kohl's.
