Our little business is changing a lot this season. We just welcomed Katie to our little team and next week we have another employee starting (a boy!). 🙂 Currently in the process of setting up our work space at Elsie's new home and an October goal of mine is to start sprucing up the local shop for it's next big adventure.
Change can be scary. But we're trying to enjoy this season for what it is: growth! I know some day we'll probably look back on autumn 2012 as a special time for our website staff. (And yes, I get sentimental about business stuff too!)
Emma's wearing: jacket/J.Crew, shirt and bag/Ruche, jeans c/o Libby Story (see how Elsie styled them here), shoes c/o ModCloth.
Elsie's wearing: jacket/Target, Shirt+Shoes/UO, jeans/American Eagle.
I will probably have to start putting my sandals away soon. In the meantime I'm soaking up every last sandal appropriate day I can! xo. Emma (and Elsie!)

Great Post, Really Great. I was simply amazed with the quality you have.
Business casual for women is a more diverse and long sought topic then business casual for men. The reason is that women tend to wear in accordance to the fashion as well as the company business casual guidelines.
I love both of your outfits – they’re casual business style well done!
So excited about all these changes. Good luck to you both!
Loving Elsie’s outfit! And Emma’s lovely words! I’m excited to see where this takes you guys and us too!
Great business looks that are still fun. Love the biker jacket.
I totally understand the scary change stuff. Good luck with everything! 🙂
Very beautiful!

Elsie, are you in there?? I didn’t recognize you with the leather jacket and jeans. Very different look for you and you’re wearing it well! Love the flats, jacket and your braid is working for you. I don’t normally comment here because I’m normally viewing from my google reader but had to stop in and say, you guys look great!
Take care ladies! xoxo.
You girls are great. Elsie’s hair looks beautiful and has inspired me to perhaps change mine up a bit. I’m going with a subtle ombre right now. I wish you all the best this season!
Elsie you are so beautiful? do you have any Latin American roots? you definitely have some beautiful features!
both outfits are lovely!

Wow, I feel that these styles (especially Elsie’s) are really different from your usual style- it’s interesting to see you change and develop as your business grows and develops too. Exciting times ahead me thinks!Rx

I love Elsie’s look, I can wear that to the office! (I think?) And Emma, your jacket is covetable!
Hi Elsie HI Emma!
I enjoy reading your posts, and dream of creating “extra hours” in the day to do some of the projects. Anyway, I saw this sweet DIY project for glass jars, and want to share the idea from this site :http://www.intimateweddings.com/blog/diy-glow-jars-tutorial/.
It just looks sooo cool!!
Love the contrast between edgy and prep. Xo Inna!

I always like your Sister Style posts because you guys are always so cute, but they’re never really my style. But, finally, Elsie is rocking my style! Leather jacket, jeans, and studs! I love this more casual look on you Elsie!
It is really exciting to see you guys grow in your business, you’ve done so much in such a short time! In the past year I’ve been amazed at all the project you have tackled, and you put the same amount of love into all of them. I’d hardly recognize your blog from the one I found last spring, but then at the same time you’re still so genuine and passionate about what you do. It’s awesome.
I love Elsie’s outfit! It looks so good on her!
Elsie, your outfit is so rock and roll!

Elsie should go edgy more often! It looks great on her! I remember this was her style back when her blog was so new.
And I just love Emma’s mustard pants!
