my signature style

When it comes to my wardrobe, there's always one question that stumps me every single time I'm asked: how would you describe your personal style? So my answer is always the same: it's constantly evolving, because, well, it is. I think my style has changed since I started 'words & wardrobes' in 2010, but there are some things that are part of my personal style that have been there since the beginning. Here are five things that have each remained a constant in my closet:

Mixed prints. Since my first foray into pattern play, I've been obsessed with pairing prints. It has become a way to expand my wardrobe choices and gives me a chance to experiment with the pieces in my closet.



Animal prints. I'm someone who considers leopard print a neutral, so it should come as no surprise that animal print is a constant in my wardrobe. Whether it's cheetah or python or dalmatian, I'm wild about animal prints.



Textured handbags and clutches. As much as I love jewelry, I love accessorizing with my handbag. Whether it's an envelope clutch or an oversized satchel, a little texture makes me a happy girl.



Cobalt blue. I'm in love with this color--my cobalt halter has been in heavy rotation since the start of spring--and my obsession with this hue isn't going anywhere.



High heels. I'm only 5'3" so the higher the heel, the taller I feel. I'm also a fan of shoes with crazy heels, like the abstract heels I bought from Urbanog.com last year.



So tell me: how would you describe your signature style?
