Look 2: Vintage -- Last summer, Rihanna was seen wearing an outfit similar to this one. Bad girl Riri has one of the best styles in Hollywood. The best thing about her style is that it's her own. Her personality always comes through in each of her outfits. She's bad, and she's not afraid to show it. Everyone should learn from Rihanna, and have fun with their style. Fashion is a form of self-expression, so make outfits your own by adding accessories that speak to you, and creating unique ensembles that show off your best features.

Look 4: Sophisticated -- This ensemble is great because it is very chic and dressy, but yet it's a little more toned down for daytime. Pairing fancier items with more casual items can make them easier to wear during the day. This maxi skirt is more dressy, but by pairing it with a casual tee and a jean jacket, the look becomes a little bit more effortless. To spice it up for nighttime, just add a jeweled clutch, and some lace up heels, to dress it up!
