2 sizes, 2 cities, 2 girls trying to dress ourselves—preferably in matching outfits
Valentine's Day is my (Summer) least favorite holiday. Although the historian in me knows that most holidays are inventions with a grain of authenticity, I can't seem to get past the inherent fakeness I feel accompanies this one in particular.

It's 2020, and you know what that means: a decade full of Gatsby-themed parties. Bring on the fringe. The Flappers.

Isn't it so funny that we plan attire just to sit in someone's living room? Summer / My Thanksgiving outfits [...]
The 10x10 Challenge is a wardrobe challenge coined and created by Lee from Style Bee in 2015. We are both enamored by the idea of having a capsule wardrobe, but committing to it is something neither of us are ready to sign up for, so we love challenges like this that give us a taste [...]
