Quotes I love: "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

Nov 27, 2012

Leave it to Coco Chanel to say something so inspiring and true - women of all ages try to achieve classy and fabulous looks! Unfortunately though, it's not as easy as it sounds. You need to appear polished, well mannered, fashionable, and not too over the top! Here's my take on how to appear classy and fabulous.

Tips on looking classy and fabulous

• Have proper etiquette: How classy you look will always be based on how you present yourself. Whether you're at a dinner party, the mall, or even a bar, your posture, manners, and language all reflect your level of class. It doesn't matter if you're wearing a Zuhair Murad dress, if you're slouched, drunk, and throwing around the F-bomb, you wont look classy. Remember to be respectable and tasteful. 
• Be knowledgeable: Being aware of politics, current events, or at least knowing the facts about the country you live in is all respectable. It shows that you have a career and are educated which is, undoubtedly, very classy. 
• Dress the part: You need to appear put together and well polished if you want to look classy and fabulous. If you look vulgar or wear ripped or stained clothing, you wont look classy. On the other hand, if you wear plain business suits everyday, you wont look fabulous! Make sure to find a balance and look fashionable, respectable, and elegant.

I then added shoes that complimented the color-blocked dress and a classic brown coat.

To complete the look, I chose a simple, feminine clutch.
