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

I LOVE that lace shirt!
This weekend I got caught up on projects for guest posts and my blog. 🙂
I also have a link party going on if you would like to join! Thanks!

Oh, and quick question: How did you do your hair like that? Too cute!

Hi! I really enjoy your blog. 🙂 This weekend I cooked, cooked and cooked some more!

Oh goodness ~ I LOVE your hair!
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 :))
I really really love your outfit && your hair!!I think you should do a tutorial on how you do you hair!

I low your blazer Elsie, the lace is so pretty. And your hair is amazing.
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!}
http://aclosetintellectual.blogspot.com/
You both look adorable! And house shopping…so exciting! Cannt wait to see what you find :).
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!
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
I love Elsie`s hairstyle here! Gorgeous.
both look so cute!
Elsie, I adore your blazer! Wow!

I love your lace blazer…so pretty! I got back from holiday in Croatia on Friday so my weekend was packed with…laundry (oh the joys of holiday blues!)

The top knot looks really nice, thanks for the link to the tutorial! Happy house hunting!:)
Love both your lacy outfits.

Emma, you look gorgeous! Elsie, your outfit is sweet and very office – friendly too I must say, I am inspired!
Beautiful looks!!

Love the outfits and the Sister Style post! You guys reminded me so much of my sister and I that I just had to share your amazing blog with her. Now she’s hooked, just like me. Keep up the amazing work.
I work for a web company – those outfits are ABSOLUTELY professional for my industry 🙂 Super cute – LOVE the grey lace.
How seriously beautiful are you two???
I’m also getting some major long-hair envy going on, love that topknot!
I love your style and Ema’s lace top is gorgeous.
I’m also the ioga pants girl and I blame myself for that – although it’s super comfortable it’s not nice to be seen…
Wow i really love your blog, your outfits ara amazing! xxx
I don’t own professional clothing either! I have one blazer from Zara that I wear with dresses for interviews, but other than that work-wardrobe can be so tough! Thanks for the ideas, ladies.
http://www.prettylittlefawn.blogspot.com
Haha, I always bother my girlfriends about wearing yoga pants outside and trying to make them pass as regular pants! I don’t think you’ve ever done that….lol.
http://www.wearegypsies.blogspot.com
Cute!!! I love your hair Elsie. I figured that you dressed up every day. I wouldn’t have guessed you to wear yoga pants most days 🙂 I can’t wait to hear about your trip.
Great style! I love it! (especially the hair!)
You remind me so much one of my best friends =)
Beautiful outfits!

I look care of some things that have been waiting not so patiently to be done! Like posting about my Europe packing adventure. http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2012/06/whats-in-my-bag-three-week-europe-trip.html I wish I had gone house shopping too though!
Love the lace blazer, Elise! You both look adorable as per usual.. Love!
You two are so cute! But it is nice to know I’m not the only person who dresses 50% dresses and the other 50% college chic 😉

Took the boat from Urbanna, Virginia to Deltaville on the Chesapeake Bay. Beautiful times!

I am loving the confessional nature of this post. It is indeed comforting to know that you guys don’t wander around looking all pert and perfectly groomed all day every day.
Yay for yoga pants!! 🙂

That candidness is one of my favorite qualities of blogs. I like when we get a sneak peek behind the curtain of Oz. I assumed you got up every morning and dressed to the 9’s. Nice to know you slum around in yoga pants, and plain T’s. 😉
You’re so cute girls !
That bun is gorgeous Elsie, and Emma, your outfit is simply fabulous, it fits you so well 🙂
xo,

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who wears yoga pants at any chance I get! Hahaha. Also, I’m so glad to see you wear clothes from Target. It helps me remember I don’t have to buy designer brand everything. PS your bun is super cute in these photos!

You are so beautiful.
Both outfits are super cute and I like how you guys kept the motif of lace! PS that top knot is so fab!!!

That lace blazer is to die for!
I spent my weekend crafting and napping, probably two of my favorite things!

Love the lace and neutrals! So pretty. At school, I always to look put together, but in summer it is so hard since I don’t do as much! It’s fine to look unprofessional sometimes though! There is a time an place for everything(:

This is such a beautiful idea. I love that it’s trendy, but in a vague enough sense that it will never grow tacky. I wish I had the motivation (slash confidence in my ability to use tools) to do this. lol

Oooo super pretty outfits! I love how light they look for this ridiculous summer heat. You are proof that you can look gorgeous no matter what time of year it is!
Gorgeous Peplum top and I love love love the top know!! I’m very into buns and up-do’s at the moment! could you do a tutorial?? x
http://sunshinetosoothethesoul.blogspot.co.uk/
Love those glasses!
http://www.makingittoday.com
Both really cute looks and love those glasses 😉
http://www.creativityandchocolate.blogspot.com
I love your top, Emma! I’m slowly trying to be more intentional about my wears. I was known to break a bone or two playing sports so high school and college turned into a tour de sweatpants and sweatshirts. Now I am finally taking an interest in clothes and figuring out how to dress my unique shape. (6ft, athletic, especially broad shoulders, rectangle shape isn’t quite the norm out in stores). You guys make it look easy!
I love those glasses! They remind me of Warby Parker eyewear. Very cool.
Inspiring as always ladies!

Spent the week road-tripping with the fam through Colorado, and I spent the weekend recouping, editing photos and blogging about the experience: http://untetheredasacloud.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/photos-of-the-week-escape-to-colorado/ All done, by the way, in a tee and yoga pants 😉
You two look lovely as always!
Best,

You both look so gorgeous!

Have a nice week 🙂
Greetings, Luu
I’ve had my eye on the lace blazer at modcloth, and I love that one too. I might be more convinced to buy one now that I’ve seen yours! Now to pick which one…
One of my favourite Sister Style posts to date. It’s nice to be able to have a little outfit inspiration. And those glasses are oh, so lovely!

Elsie, your hairstyle is simply (for lack of better word) amazeballs! Have you ever posted a tutorial on how to get this perfect messy bun or have I missed something? *goes off to rummage in the blog archive*
http://www.food-unplugged.blogspot.com
Great looks!!!
Love the lace in both outfits!!!
I love your outfits! 🙂

It’s reassuring to know you don’t dress up every day. Makes me feel a bit more normal 😉
can you show us how you did your hair like that? (:
I love Elsie’s purse and Emma’s blouse!
http://www.adryonthedaily.wordpress.com
Oh girls, you look stunning! Elsie, I love the teal/mustard color combination. And your lace jacket is just precious.

I love Emma’s top! Would not have thought it was so cute by just browsing on ruche…so darling on!
http://cityhallvintage.blogspot.com
I love both of your styles! I wish I was short enough to feel confident in heels.

sometimes I feel like all bloggers are made up from head to toe everyday. It was a glorious day. So much fun!!!It doesn’t get much better than that!
Those modcloth shoes are AMAZING. And Emma’s blouse is SO cute. I love it.

Elsie love the shoes! I keep saying I will get yellow heals someday soon…
Emma looks absolutely beautiful!!! You’re both so lovely xo
Elsie your hair in this is beyond fantastic, I am so in love with it styled that way!
And I absolutely adore Emma’s lace-y top, such a unique way to wear a lace texture.

I love you wearing jeans. All the bloggers I’m following mostly wear skirts ore dresses. That is quiet unusual. LOVE it.

I love your outfits.
And Elsie, your bun is simply awesome.
I basically live in yoga pants and shirts lately as I am home finishing school stuff. But like you, I try to dress up as good as I can whenever I am up to anything fun. =)
Sister style is always a winner!
looks nice!

I really love both of your outfits and hairstyles in these photos! I’m a high school teacher and sometimes I have the same wardrobe challenge in the summer. 🙂
This weekend I enjoyed a visit from my mom and her boyfriend, got some flowers for our landscaping, and worked on my blog a little bit.
http://subjectivelysimple.blogspot.com/
I love that lace blazer. I also don’t own a true professional wardrobe for work. I just can’t wear dress pants and button up shirts. That is in no way me.

love both of those looks
You guys have such great style! Inspiration for the day!

Thank you for your posting! I think your post is very helpful for me.
Ajouté géométriquement formes, comme des cercles et des rectangles, ne sont pas acclimatés – seuls squares.5. Est-il lavable / essuyez-mesure? Ce que vous pouvez faire pour est de fourrer du papier doux dans vos sacs pour préserver sa forme originale. Le film BOPP qui est couverte sur les sacs en cours de fabrication signifie que n’importe quel type de motif et de la conception peut être appliquée à des sacs. Voir le Neverfull monogramme classique.
Yeah, I love it,the design of it relaxes me
These photos are so impossibly beautiful. Your work just keeps getting better and better.
this is so amazing. I love your blog. I will definitely be needing some of these for the summer.

Great pictures and style! My favorite blogger by far.
Elsie: I Adore how you Rock Turquoise and Yellow , this is not the first time I’ve seen your outfits with these colors *AMAZING*
Emma: The master of Layering-Cloths 😉 I love that lace shirt and those Sandals *GORGEOUS*
** No matter what you girls wear, you’ll always look Amazingly Professional

I am very appreciate to your info. They are really useful for me. Thank you.
