Sassy without sleazy

Being a college student can lead to questionable fashion choices but over the years I have learned that the classier you dress the more respect you will get. Dressing classy doesn't have to mean dressing boring or wearing a button up sweater with pearls every day. There are several ways to be presentable and still have a little bit of sass.

One of my favorite famous people to take fashion advice from is Carrie Underwood and although she isn't known for being a fashion guru she is known for always looking flawless while keeping it classy. She made a statement a few years ago after an awards show performance that has been stuck in my head ever since... "If I am going to wear a dress that shows a lot of leg I will cover my upper body and bust, if I am going to show my upper body then I will wear something that covers my legs." I think her ideology is amazing because what man wants a woman who puts it all out there for the world to see at once?

The dress I wore in this look is a midi (meaning it goes to the tops of my calves). That makes up for the deep V neckline and I paired it with a tan trench coat because I wanted the red to really stand out.

This really was a simple outfit, but sometimes simple is the sexiest.

Details: Dress was from a small boutique near my college but find a very similar one here, trench coat is H&M, I love these tan clutches here and here
