href="http://style.mynippon.com/post/4265405575/rihanna-on-the-cover-of-rolling-stones-apart-from">not to dress like everyone else</a>.  Yes, it is tempting to <a href="http://style.mynippon.com/post/4239146037/lily-cole-in-overalls-the-way-tom-ford-argues">follow the celebrity style</a> but in my opinion, if that is what everyone is doing, then you will simply look like everyone else.  So spend a few moments each day learning about <a href="http://www.mynippon.com/2011/01/know-my-passion/">who you are</a>, as counter-intuitive as it sounds, and then <a href="http://style.mynippon.com/post/3727482637/create-designer-look">make your outfit yours</a>, as these two ladies below.  I am particularly fascinated by <a
