This vest has made many appearance on my blog (most recently in Salt Lake and less recently standing in the road in front of my house). My mom gave it to me many moons ago and it has really stood the test of time. It's my most worn piece of outerwear by a long shot. The hood, however, is removable, and I don't think I've ever once worn it with the hood on. But, when we decided to do a fur post for this round of Raiding My Sister's Closet, I realized it was the only single item with fur ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Winter Whites
This white dress from Downeast Basics has been one of my favorite things since I bought it for my graduation from the University of Texas back in 2009. (It also made an appearance in my very first pregnancy picture for Ani). But I'd never even contemplated wearing it in the winter until Merrick suggested we do winter whites for a post. I'd seen this photo of a white dress in winter on Pinterest, so I figured it was totally feasible to wear this dress in February. Sadly, I didn't have ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Wardrobe Workhorse – Leopard Flats
You know those lists you always see that talk about "closet essentials"? I don't own most of them (although I DID finally buy myself a pair of black heels this year. At a super fancy boutique called Ross). The year, we're doing a little mini-series as part of Raiding My Sister's Closet where we highlight items that do get a lot of use in our closets. My first item are my leopard flats. I bought them on a complete whim two years ago when Madeline at Uber Chic for Cheap wore them in a ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: One Piece, Five Ways
Over the last few months, I feel like I really stepped up my style. When I first posted about this shirt in June, just wearing it with jeans felt pretty far outside of my comfort zone. The shirt was bright! And collared! (Seriously, I sound like the most gigantic wimp). Now I look at it with just jeans and think, "Mmm, betta not." Shirt: Old Navy // Jeans: Target // Shoes: Old Navy I mean, it's not bad. But this shirt doesn't scare me like it used to. When we decided to do One ...

Raiding My Sister’s Closet: Pinterest Closet Inspiration
A quick question - do you call it "Pin-Ter-Est" or "Pin-Trist"? Merrick pronounces it the first way, I pronounce it the other way. Anyway, that is not important. (Unless you're saying it the wrong way). This week, we each chose a photo from our Pinterest style/fashion boards and did our own take on the outfit. This was the one I picked, from See Jane. via See Jane (used with permission) I love basically everything about this outfit, but I REALLY love the lining on her ...
