Outfit Post - Absinthe
Up until a few years ago, I firmly believed that I could not wear the color green, as I was certain it washed me out and gave my skin a yellow cast. Until I discovered this particularly vibrant shade (kelly green, maybe?) that brightens up my face and makes my eyes look peacock blue. Now I'm totally in love with it ;-)
Do you have a particular shade that you like to wear?

Outfit Post - Tangerine and Green
My curls turned out MUCH better today, though I had different plans for my bangs.. The lovely Casey over at Elegant Musings cut her bangs recently and had created a pinterest board of different ways to wear bangs. Since my general default is either straight, or pushed to the side when they get too long, I figured I'd give some fun curly bangs a whirl...Fail. BIG fail. I looked like a poodle, so I shellacked them to the side. I think I'll practice a bit more with different ways of curling them before I debut a new bang look ;-)

The Signature Style Project - Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize..
There is no better (or more cost efficient!) way to change up a signature look than accessories. Just consider the Jackie O sunglasses and head scarf or Audrey's ballet flats. Accessories can make or break your look!
Here are a few of my absolute favorites and how I like to wear them:
Sunglasses
Great for holding your hair back headband style, giving you a little mystery and protecting the delicate area around your eyes from damaging UV rays. I'm partial to a large Jackie O style, or a retro cats eye, but there are so many other options to choose from. Wayfarers, Aviators or those nifty little round John Lennon types.
Handbags
If you're anything like me, you LIVE out of your handbag. My preference tends towards larger bags. Boho sling bags, messenger bags and totes tend to be my preference. I do, however, tend to travel with a smaller clutch inside the larger bag in case I want to travel light ;) My bags also tend to be where I add a little whimsy to my outfit.
Scarves
Scarves are the wunderkind of the accessory world. You can use them to tie back your hair, dress up your bag, tie them around your neck to add some color to your outfit, belt your skirt or pants with them. They are hands down my favorite!
And here, I will share again my favorite scarf tying video with you all..
Jewelry
So many options here! I'm not usually one for bracelets (I type and sew a lot and don't like things banging against my work surface) but I LOVE a cute pair of earrings or a necklace and I will pin a brooch to just about anything. Again, this is a good place to inject a little creativity or whimsy into your outfit.
Shoes
..need I say more??
Hats
Last but never least, hats! Hats add a great retro look to any signature style (sadly, they are not worn as frequently today!) I myself prefer a headband or tilt-style hat for the most part (because I have a ginormous head!) but there are so many beautiful styles to choose from, I would encourage you to play with them all!
