I've been a bike commuter consistently for the past three years or so. When I first started biking, I wanted to find accessories and gear that I felt fit with my aesthetic. After a lot of research and trial & error, here's what works for me:
 
Skirts/dresses: most of mine are A-line and not terribly short (~4" above the knee). I wear bike shorts underneath and tuck just a bit of the skirt into the edge of my shorts. Then when I get to work, I slip them off in the bathroom.
When it's too hot to wear multiple layers, I forego the shorts and use one of these skirt clips. I like the wider band one the best; I wear one on each leg if I'm wearing something really flowy or if it's very windy.
I've tried biking in skirts that are more restrictive (like a sheath dress). I can make it work by hiking up the skirt a bit when I sit on the saddle, but I just end up feeling kind of awkward and uncomfortable. My solution: I save the sheath dress for days that it rains and I take the bus :)
 
Hairstyles: like /u/doxiegirl1, I also have curly hair (though I have a pixie cut). I have known others to use the plop/scarf method she mentions below. Personally, I get pretty bad hat hair and I sweat a lot, and I didn't want to put anything extra on my head. So, I found a helmet that is lightweight with a lot of vents - I wear a Bell Muni helmet - and I'm always surprised that my hair is decent after I take my helmet off. I usually just have to fluff it up a little bit on the top of my head. Only if I take multiple trips on my bike in one day (I'm putting on/taking off my helmet a lot) will my hair start to get irreversibly flat.
 
Bags: I sweat a lot, so when I was looking for bags, I knew I would not want a backpack or messenger bag. I had several requirements for a bicycle bag: (1) safely transport my 15" MacBook Pro; (2) convert into something reasonably stylish that I can carry around off my bike; (3) hold a lot of stuff without being too heavy; (4) not look like I'm heading out on a cross-country camping trip.
And here are the ones that meet my criteria:
 
I also have the Pannier, which definitely fits a 15" laptop with ample room for other stuff. I will sometimes use the Pannier and Market Shopper together if I have to carry around a ton of stuff, or if I want to bike to the grocery store. But, I find it really awkward to carry around off the bike - it doesn't have backpack straps or tote handles like the Market Shopper.
Here's a picture of my awesome wheels with the Market Shopper.
 
I couldn't find a seller in the US, so after some Googling I ended up ordering it from Bike24 in Germany. It was $90 US - including DHL shipping - and it arrived in 5 days, which was super impressive!
