I'm not 22, but I have pretty nice legs from all of the years of being an athlete. You might want to be a bit more careful writing things that can be construed as agism.
Note too, that I pointed out in one of my posts to the original poster how linen wrinkles, which is why I also suggested a "linen" blend. I would agree that silk would be inappropriate for her job, although she certainly could wear a silk shell under her blazer..
As stated, you certainly-- as a student who says she has learned how to dress in school-- have every right to disagree with me. I'm just offering suggestions from my more than 20 years experience in the professional business world and as my position as someone who hires people.

Maybe you have much much longer legs than I do, but suits at Talbots are very long on me - to the point where alterations wouldn't help. In addition, most of them are not cut to flatter women with a larger bust as many of their jackets are one-button. If you like the clothes there, that's great, but as a 22 y/o woman who dresses professionally on a regular basis, I don't. They do have some great cashmere occasionally and good oxfords, but they aren't the place I'd start wardrobing. They are also VERY costly compared to other stores where a more youthful high-quality product could also be purchased.
