I am cracking up at how this thread got revived! I almost did what Shiny did, and commented on the blog post itself. I noticed the dates before it was too late! ;-D
My signature style really just involved two things: bright colors and a complete look. The shoes, necklaces, purse all has to work with the rest of the outfit, or I just don't feel properly dressed. Not matching, but complementary; the necklace needs to emphasize the neck of the top, the shoes need to finish off the leg/outfit, etc.
And brights, omg, I love brights. I have just stocked up for my new size: summer yellow, maize, turquoise, kelly green, rich teal, bright blue, fire engine red, plum, orange, etc. Almost all the pastels from my friend have been packed away, and now with colors that I love, my closet feels like my own again.
