The Trouble With Growing Up

Recently, alot of my close friends have either graduated from, or stopped going to, university. For most, it caused a huge existential crises and loss of meaning in life. When one is a student, their purpose all academic year is to study, and their purpose all " summer" ( I've been on vacay for almost two months, and this s*** ain't summer) is to work and make enough money to be able to concentrate on school come fall. However, those of us who get our BAs in artistic fields (history, psych, poli sci) don't really have the technical skills to jump into a career right away. Before we get hired by anyone who will pay us, we need work experience. To get that, we often need to land internships, which is almost as hard as landing a job. To get a job, we need the right attitude, the right look, and the right timing (connections don't hurt either). This is where I start to get worried. I only own workout clothes. If I got an interview with friggin Shape magazine tomorrow ( dream job), I would have nothing to wear to the interview. So, I need Advice... What wardrobe staples should I get that I would still feel comfortable and like myself in?
