Celebrity Dirty Laundry has joined forces with Stylebites to provide my readers with a fashion column every week. Rachel, the editor of Stylebites will decode or criticize the fashion of the young and famous each week. Hope you guys enjoy and please visit Stylebites because she is behind the great fashion advice you will be getting each week!

1. Layers. Anyone can start with the basics but it's the layers which give any look its character. Here Lohan pairs a t-shirt (notice that it's not skin tight either, how refreshing) with a shorter leather jacket in a similar color. This saves the shirt, which hits at the hip from looking frumpy.
2. Color. We all know that dark colors are slimming but notice that the top is still lighter than her jeans. It slims the thighs. Her legs appear even slimmer due to the bright shoe that distracts the eye. When you look a the pic you probably saw (in this order) glasses, shirt, shoes. No pants, see? Try this trick at home.
3. Accessories. Lindsay keeps it simple with relaxed extras in dark colors. No, your shoes don't have to match your bag, or your hat. Greys, browns and greens are all earthy tones that go well together.
4. Gold. I la love the combo of the yellow print on the shirt with the gold necklace atop it all. Multi-strand necklaces are the it thing though, so make sure you've got a few and experiment with them over plain tops before moving on to styling them with prints.
5. Bootcut. I didn't think that I would say that this, as I'm still in love with straight leg, but these bootcut really look good. Notice that there's no tacky bleached spots (which scream "mall jean").
