We work from home or from our private studio most days. That means that sometimes (ok... lots of days) we wear things like plain t-shirts, yoga pants and *gasp* flip flops. We don't dress up every day. To be fair, Emma dresses up more than I do. I'm mostly the one wearing the yoga pants. She makes fun of me... a lot. So there's my confession... done. :)
Anyway, all of this casual dressing gets counterbalanced my our kinda-sorta-professional wardrobe... which is everything we wear in public. When we go to meetings, on photo shoots or on trips we try to dress as professional as someone who doesn't really own a professional wardrobe can. The outfit above I wore on a house shopping trip (yay!) and the outfit below, Emma wore on a date with her boyfriend.
Elsie's Wearing- Lace Blazer/Ruche, Tank Top/Target, Jeans/Jessica Simpson Collection, Purse c/o American Apparel, Heels c/o ModCloth, Glasses/UO.
Emma's Wearing- Peplum Top c/o Ruche, Leather Skirt/Thrifted, Heels c/o Seychelles.
I had the best weekend trip with Jeremy! I'll share a little more about that soon. What did you do this weekend? Elsie
beautiful!

Kate, it's a simple top knot like this- http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/04/how-to-style-a-top-knot.html
My hair is naturally course (and frizzy) so it stays big pretty well :))

Love your outfit Elsie...the lace blazer is beautiful!

I think you could probably get away with wearing ANYTHING, as long as those screaming yellow heels are on your feet. (:

I love your glasses, Elsie. Can't wait to see photos from your trip! My boyfriend and I spent a lot of time outdoors this weekend, drinking beer, watching movies, having bonfires... it was awesome :)

I love her blouse, really cute!

So cute! Great to have a job where being cute & quirky is expected {I'm a college prof, & we luckily fall in the same category-- academics & artists for the fashion win!}

So glad to know that you don't roll out of bed looking this perfect! I agree that those yellow heels could make even the rattiest yoga pants look fabulous.

Cute, love the outfit looks!

I just love your hair Elsie! You two look gorgeous as always! I'm so glad that you came out and said that you usually wear yoga pants and casual clothes - sometimes I feel like all bloggers are made up from head to toe everyday.

ok you've convinced me - I must add that crocheted top from ruche to my wardrobe. I've been eyeing it since it came out.. love it with the belt!
Posted by: Megan Lane | June 25, 2012 at 10:23 AM
you girls look both fantastic! I really enjoyed reading your little confession, I guess we're all a little bit like that! I don't get to wear yoga pants or pyjamas at home but I definitely wear more casual clothing when I'm staying at home :)

One of my favorite sister style posts to date! I love everything about Elsie's look from her hair to her awesome shoes. Also, I love how soft and romantic Emma looks, her shoes also kill me (in a good way). It's comforting to know that you both don't always look so put together (putting us all to shame! haha), but really who does? I'm a college student so 98% of the time I live in yoga pant city! Thanks for sharing as usual! <3
