    I'm going! What are you planning to wear? Business casual is so ambiguous!

    Yay! I'm not really sure, I was thinking like a dress and a blazer thing.. I'm trying to work with what I already have Plus I'd rather go over-dressed than under-dressed.. What about you?

    I'm pretty stuck, I was going to wear chinos and maybe a cardi/blazer and boots, but that's too casual isn't it? I have no idea! Are you excited? What do you think will happen?

    Really? I don't want to walk in with a suit!! I feel like we will look stupid, teens walking around in new suits. Lol. I don't know maybe I'm thinking too into it. When I typed in business casual it's literally trousers with any blouse and maybe a cardi, perhaps my outfit will be okay... I hope so anyway.
    I can't wait!

    Oh yeah, totally. No, to be honest it's a diversity thing, I think they only do it because they have to. But I don't care, as long as I have a chance of working there what does their reasoning matter?

    Are the jeans tight fitted? Because I was researching "business casual" and I was going to wear jeans or chinos but they seem far too casual... I don't know.

    Are you looking forward to it? What do you think will happen??

    Right I know what I'm wearing now I have a casual dress and a blazer from topshop that isn't toooo smart. And my shoes have a small heel. I wish I could wear bigger heels but I think my feet might fall off if we're walking around all day!!!!!
    As for the actual programme itself, I've heard they just give presentations on the different departments and then have 'interactive case studies' - whatever that means! Not sure though, they haven't given us much info
    I'm a bit more excited now as I found the building today so at least I know where it is haha!
