Your Signature Piece.

The Signature Piece. A person's trademark. That one piece of clothing that defines a person and has such power that it can work by itself. Yes, the signature piece fly's solo. Usually the signature piece is thought of as a Coat - a campaign from winter 2010 " The right coat can make a outfit", or a piece of fine jewellery such as a Cartier watch, however Signature Pieces are and should be different for everyone. They should be personal to you and reflect your  personality. I believe nowadays it is possible and even somewhat unavoidable to have more than one signature piece as the average persons wardrobe can be doubled due to affordable and fashionable clothing available to us 24/7. My signature piece's are my Gucci sunglasses as pictured in my previous post, my Tiffany and Co bracelet, and my miss Selfridge leopard print scarf. I soon hope to get another signature piece that has well and truly deserved a place in my signature collection- The Alexander McQueen skull scarf.
Your Signature piece, if you haven't got it already, will find you. You will be wandering through the aisles of h&m or walking through the 3rd floor of Selfridges and Co speechlessly and then ...the penny will drop. There will be your own unique piece of fashion that has your name written all over it.
Now when you have selected you Signature Piece, it is important to remember, it works best on it's own so try not to put it with something too over powering like a patterned fabric. And with accessories , try not to pile on the bangles or wear a loud necklace that could clash. As Coco Chanel said "when accessorising always take the last thing you put on off.

Our Clothes say a lot about who we are.

Its a known fact that our clothes says alot about who we are as a person. Our personalities are reflected in our clothing in such a way that a someone can make an asumption as to what kind of person you are as soon as they see you. For example:  someone who often where's brighter and bolder colourful clothing is judged to be a happy, confident, person. A woman who often wears skirts and dresses is thought to be a feminine and gentle character. Some one who wears dark clothing and alot of grey is often judged as a quiet and reserved person who likes to feel safe rather than opting for the more vibrant daring coloured clothing which objects them to more attention.
It is important when selecting our outfits that we think about our personalities and what we are about as well as the current trends.  This is because we must feel comfortable in our clothing in order to carry it off. Remember sexiness isn't just about the image, it's also about the attitude, so its no good putting on coral pink blusher and wearing an amazing floral day dress down the high street ( both of which are in at the moment) if your looking down nervously and trying to get to wherever your going as quickly as posssible. You've got to compose yourself, remember " I look hot!! and im happy with what im wearing" and hold your head up looking straight on with a smile. Not only will you feel a rush of satisfaction and sexiness, but you will also be turning heads ;) and who knows, you may even be inspiring other women to ditch the frumpy cardigan and baggy trousers and find that stylish outfit they have been wanting to dig out.

Welcome,

Ok so for those who have seen my other blog "K is for Kimi"you may have noticed I mentioned about my original intention of opening a fashion blog. Well when making my blog I had to think of a name  and as it happens in the process  I now have made 2 blogs so have decided to dedicate this one " dressing it down" to fashion. So here I will be talking about new trends, popular styles, London style, fashion advice, my own personal taste and other cool fashion stuff really, so post any comments or questions on this blog and I will be more than happy to help. It would also help if you could give me any feedback on my blog as i am also writing this to help me gain some experience I need in fashion writing for when I start fashion college in september.
