One of the many reasons I love having three little girls is that I'm one of three girls too. Unfortunately, my sisters and I all live far apart from each other (although now that we live in Phoenix, we're seeing a lot more of Merrick and her family), so it's quite rare for all three of us to be together. In May, our whole family was together for the first time since my brother Crawford had left on his mission to Pennsylvania two years earlier, AND it was the first time all three of us ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Summer Wardrobe Workhorse
Last summer, when we spent the Fourth of July with Merrick, she had saved me a large stack of clothing from when she had weeded through her closet. I didn't keep most of it (if Merrick didn't want to wear it, there was a good chance I probably shouldn't want to either), but I did snag a really great patterned chambray shirt. When I asked her why she was getting rid of it, she said, "I really like it, I just already have a couple of chambray shirts." I already had a ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Flares
Flares are the first clothing trend I remember caring about. I was probably around 12 (one of the big disadvantages of being homeschooled is that you don't have a classroom and teacher to anchor your memories and tell one year from another, so I honestly can't remember exactly when this was), and all I wanted for Christmas was a pair of flares. And, happily, my parents came through on Christmas morning. I still remember that first pair of black ... Read More about Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Flares
Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Dress It Up, Dress It Down
So let me tell you about this dress. On Sunday, I went to church and my friend Katie was wearing this darling dress. She's 25(ish) weeks pregnant and I said, "You look so cute - I love that dress." And she told me, "You won't even believe this, but it's from Walmart. And it's under $10." "Also, I bought it in a couple of sizes to see what one would fit over my belly, so I have a size small at my house that you're welcome to have." You can see why she's my friend. It's perfectly ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Hats
One of the great benefits of having a sister who is a fashion blogger is that not only do I have someone to have endless conversations about blogging with, but also whenever I come to visit, Merrick unloads a huge pile of hand-me-downs for me. I've learned to bring a big suitcase when I come to visit. I should probably admit that she bought me this shirt for Christmas and I borrowed this hat from her too. And. . . the purse. Which I kind of wanted to steal. Raiding my sister's closet in ... Read More about Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Hats
