No sweatpants, grungy t-shirts or frowns for this newly-single lady! Taylor Swift stepped out in Pacific Palisades, Calif. on Tuesday Jan. 8, and for her very first sighting since her ugly split from Harry Styles, the 23-year-old star took pains to look stylish and composed. Visiting a private home, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer wore a striped, long-sleeve mini-dress that accentuated her slim figure plus knee-socks and flats.

This [breakup] is definitely going to be for good."

In an online Us Weekly poll, 97 percent of nearly 10,000 readers said that Swift should take a break from dating.
