Hello There Personal Style..

I was reading some posts from my favourite blogs, when Fashion Cappuccino's 'What's your signature?' made me think, what actually is my signature? When it comes to style, to me a single word leaps out: cardigans. Not necessarily baggy, woolly concoctions that are reminiscent of the past, but also thin, long cardies that are ideal for throwing on top of your favourite outfit, first for warmth and second for finishing your look. yes, the more I thought about it, the more I realised yes cardigans are my style signature; my friends would all agree that I have quite a collection, so that's it, isn't it? That’s my signature?

But when I delved deeper into what I would class as my own 'individual style' that immediately makes people think of me, I realised that it's not just about the clothes you wear it's about how you wear them. I don't simply follow the fashion trends just for the sake of being considered "fashionable" but also because I think they represent me. Yes, I admit, to style yourself with the current trends alone does make you feel stylish, but every key piece needs to be reworked a little to reflect yourself. Otherwise you'll just fade into the background of the "followers" when really it's you that should be your own leader! When it comes to clothes, my favourite individual twist is my choice of accessories. A personal accessories signature for me is my love of statement rings along with cute, kooky, individual necklaces; together I think these sum up my "signature". I love flower inspired rings and necklaces that pay tribute to the themes of love, folklore and pieces that scream "handmade" - something that no one else has, but me. So to me, my signature is not a certain piece but the way in which I style myself to reflect my personality.

But I can't just say that I don't entirely have signature pieces, as I have listed several above, but just that along with these items my signature is to style myself according to my personality and not to copy the rest.

Enjoy xxxx

P.S. Also, just to let you know, a few more of my 'signature' pieces are converse all stars, satchel bags, pretty little headbands, a splash of ribbons and buttons and long scarves... who said you can't have signature pieces as well as a signature look ;) ha-ha.
