And for today's question:

 My "signature" outfit

My "signature" outfit involves my red x pink Fruits Parlor OP. It's not really so much a singular outfit as several variations on the same one. I might change my headbow, socks, or shoes, or remove the detachable apron, but the coordination generally stays the same. The coordinate has gone through a few incarnations:

Feb. 2012, first time wearing Fruits Parlor

Apr. 2012, OTT sweet with Fruits Parlor

Aug. 2012, slight variation on Apr. 2012 version

I think that the reason this is my "signature" outfit is because I love OTT Sweet, and Fruits Parlor is one of the best prints for that style. When I wear any variation of this coordinate, I can honestly say I feel more like a princess than I do in any of my other dresses!
