Even though all three of us live in different states, we all happen to live somewhere that doesn't get particularly cold (I guess when you grow up in Las Vegas, you naturally gravitate toward places that have no idea what snow is). So when fall and early winter start to roll around, we're all looking at people wearing coats, boots, and scarves and thinking, "it's still 88 degrees here." Which can make it a challenge to dress up for holiday events because thick tights, coats, and fur ... Read More about Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Holiday Dressing for Warmer Weather

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Lush Meadow
One of the things I've tried to be better about this past year is picking new items of clothing that reflect current trends while still fitting into my basic wardrobe structure (I've been reading The Curated Closet over the last couple of weeks, which I've found quite helpful). When we picked one of Pantone's Fall 2016 colors for this round of Raiding My Sister's Closet, I knew that I LIKED Lush Meadow, but it wasn't a color I particularly needed tons of in my ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Trying Out a Trend – Velvet
As usual, when we do a Trying Out a Trend post, we all ask Merrick what's trending. And to be fair, I'd seen velvet popping up here and there. But then, last week, I took my children around to five different major stores and the SINGLE only velvet thing I could find were these pants at LOFT. Where were nice, but not exactly something I'd be able to button for the next five months, sadly. So I did the next best thing, which was desperately text ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Summer to Fall Transitional Pieces
Last year, my mom asked what I wanted for my 30th birthday, and my only request was this J.Crew jacket that I'd been eyeing for many moons. It was so backordered that I didn't get it until December, but I made up for lost time for wearing it basically every single day between December and May. Now that summer is (supposedly) starting to wind down and fall is around the corner, I'm starting to pull it back out again, and I love it just as much as I did last year. It's the ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: One Chambray Skirt
One summer, when I was probably 10 or 11, my mom went on a major sewing kick and made us a TON of skorts. I particularly remember a matching set she made for all of us (plus our cousins) that were navy blue with a large red and white star pattern. We were basically the height of fashion. Doing this post, where we all wore the same skirt, reminded me of that summer, although this time we went a little more sophisticated with this fun chambray skirt that looks good on ...
