Dress: H&M, Boots & Tights: Gifts from Europe?, Gold Watch: Vintage, Necklace: Gifted.

I am now finishing my last semester in journalism school and not only my future, but my role in society has been on my mind lately. I wonder where I will be in a year: where I'll be living, what job I'll be working and such. I consider myself to a very business oriented person (so I've been told) and I try to reflect that through my wardrobe.

I think that more than ever, I'm trying to figure out who I am and where my goals may take me. These days more and more women are choosing to dress in a more provocative manner, which is fine. Hey, it's their prerogative, but dressing in such a manner really does limit your opportunities.

While I don't feel that this is my most serious outfit, it has an aire of confidence and I feel that in a way, it is very professional.

Plus check out my boots and tights, they are pretty cool! (fashion moment).

My point is, I just don't think many people understand the importance of their physical appearance. I know it may sound shallow, but someone who is always manicured and well dressed will be taken more seriously than someone who consistently looks like a slob.

In a day where the Snookis and J-Wows are worshipped by the masses, how do you keep your fashion head screwed on tight? When does flirty turn into trashy? Let me know.
