3. Stunt A Little - Everyone loves Mary Jane's style because it's sophisticated and sexy like Joan's was on Mara Brock Akil's show, Girlfriends. What else made Joan and her girlfriends stand out? Those Christian Louboutin heels. Now, if you don't have it like that, don't stunt like you do, just get a sexy black or nude heel that can go with almost anything. If you are ballin' and not on a budget, splurge on the classic brand and make it all about the "red bottoms."(Photo: Christian Louboutin)

4. Get Trenched - For the wintertime you need a peacoat and in the summer, you don't need any coat at all, but in the spring and beginning of fall you will need something to keep you warm during some of the chilly moments, so get a trench coat. Trench coats always work the best in grey or tan because you can work the colors in with any outfit that you wear. #ItsRequired to have one as a closet essential that'll work in two seasons instead of just one.(Photo: Burberry)
