Happy 2013, everyone!  I’m back home in NYC after flying from Thailand yesterday.  It’s good to be back.

A long-standing style resolution of mine has been to establish a signature look or uniform.  I’m not alone – Victoria blogged about this same quest.

And like Victoria, I’m a firm believer that the classic silk shirt is the signature piece I’ve been looking for.

Over the past month, I’ve amassed a small collection of silk blouses (from Joe Fresh and Hunter Dixon) that I’ve been wearing non-stop.  Whether worn alone with skinny pants, tucked into a skirt, or paired with jeans and a sweater on top, the outfit always works.

And while I’m pretty set on the silk blouse front, I’ve identified my next signature piece – the iconic H bangle from Hermes (and in my case, a personalized piece).

What is a signature clothing staple for you?  I’d love to know!

    I love the idea of having a signature uniform – silk shirts are so versatile and a Hermes bangle would be so perfect for you given your name! Personally I live in silk/ silk-jersey dresses (mostly DVF, Parker) because they’re so easy to throw on (not a morning person) and since I’m petite I hate dealing with finding pants that fit. Also they travel well!

    PS – obsessed with those heels!

    I love this outfit! The blue is so stunning.
    Staples for me are comfortable flats (for work and play), well tailored jeans (I prefer the high-waisted variety), and blazers in fun colors. Delicate necklaces are also staples for me when it comes to jewelry and I have been drooling over the Hermes clic-clac bracelet for yearssss. I especially love the thicker, inch wide ones in a neutral like black or nude :)

    Love. Your. Shoes!

    A staple for me is a jacket .. it can be any type of jacket .. mostly a casual, suit type jacket. Maybe a boyfriend cut and I roll up the sleeves, of a 3/4 sleeve cotton jacket .. something to throw on and complete the look.
