Ever wonder how you would look as a redhead, or with the mane of Jennifer Aniston? Well now you can. The latest must-have fashion accessory is a wig! Not so long ago, wigs were considered a fashion taboo, but today, celebrities like Beyoncé, Katy Perry, and Adele have made wigs a stylish hairstyle option.

The Shine’s resident fashion stylist, Dena Giannini, says wigs are certainly a growing trend, as more and more women turn to wigs for an instant new look. “Women are changing their hairstyles today more than ever before. And with a wig, you have so many different options. You can put on a bang, you can put on a ponytail, you can change your hair color, you can change your haircut, and it’s as easy as putting the wig on, and taking it off.”

When Your Clothes Send The Wrong Message

You know the saying, "dress for success!" Well, believe it or not, that age-old cliche has a ring of truth. Whether you're at work or at play, your clothing choices send a message about you--are you sending the one you want? Stay tuned and find out on this episode of The Thread!

Do you: stick to the same, drab neutrals? If you rarely if ever switch up your Plain Jane look, you're telling the world that you much prefer to blend in or that you're in a fashion rut. No one ever said having some fun with your style wasn't allowed!

Do you: hoard your old clothes? We all love some good vintage elements here and there, but if your look is retro all-over, you may be saying that you're afraid of moving forward. Stick to one retro style element at a time, like a Peter Pan collar or scalloped hem--just not at the same time.

Do you: dress like a granny? If you're a young person that dresses much older than her age, you're sending the message that you fear not being taken seriously by your older coworkers. Command respect through your actions, not just through your wardrobe.

Do you: wear oversized clothes? Repeat after us: fit. is. everything. If you're always wearing items that are too big for your body, it can say that you're afraid of letting people see who you really are, that you lack confidence in your appearance or that you're holding on to the notion of how your body used to look. How you feel on the inside will reflect how you look on the outside--embrace your body and embrace fit!

The People Chose Earrings

If you spent most of the 2013 People's Choice Awards coveting everyone's earrings, you're not alone. Over-sized drops, candy-colored baubles, and diamond-edged architectural statements were front and center, framing the supernaturally beautiful faces of film and television actresses alike. Below are the ones that had our earlobes aching in jealousy.

Taylor Swift wearing tantalizing turquoise - Is it me or is this maybe the best Taylor Swift has EVER looked? She's basically the new Pippa Middleton in that white gown but let's talk about her piercingly blue, diamond-edged statement earrings. They are completely striking against the crisp white, they really bring out the color of her eyes, and they're simply perfect with her messy yet sophisticated 'do.

Jennifer Lawrence wearing onyx drops - Lawrence, who took home the award for Favorite Movie Actress, framed that supernaturally gorgeous face with elegant black stone and diamond drop earrings.

Naomi Watts wearing Jennifer Meyer triangles - Best-dressed Naomi Watts was a perfect 10, right down to her fantastic Jennifer Meyer triple-triangle earrings.
