Going for a different look this season? Try these tough-girl chic pieces that require a bit more courage than your average garb. To pull off the look, you can't be afraid to take your style to a darker side. After all, a bit more attitude in our sartorial choices may be just what we need to help express our frustrations with the tough economic times. With a heavy base of black, tough-girl chic also incorporates pops of color to get the look just right. Think punk rock grunge infused with a lot more elegance. Who said wearing a leather jacket with patches couldn't be chic? In the end, it's all about how you put the individual pieces together.
