Elsie’s Wearing: Sunnies and Necklace/Moorea Seal, T-Shirt/Honey Of California, Purse/ASOS (it’s SO tiny!), Santa Pin/Valley Cruise Press, Jeans/Jessica Simpson Collection, Jacket/Past season F21 (borrowed from Laura), Clogs/TopShop (SO comfy for big heels-LOVE them).
Hey, guys. Emma here. So this is sort of different for me because this is actually the very first Sister Style that Elsie and I have put together long distance! Her from her new home in Nashville and me back in Springfield, MO. One of the things we talked about as Elsie planned her move was how we still wanted to do our Sister Style feature together even when we were apart. Obviously the world wouldn’t end if we stopped posting photos of ourselves online. Ha! But, what you can maybe-sort-of-kind-of guess from reading this site is that a lot of things we post about we do simply because we love them. And we love Sister Style. It’s fun! So we didn’t want to lose it even though it’s something we’ve shot together for years and years now.
So I shot an outfit and emailed it to Elsie, then she shot her outfit and put in this post. Then I opened it up and started typing. And here I am. And you know what’s sort of funny that I wasn’t anticipating? I feel kind of like, well, probably like every other ABM reader as I was scrolling through these photos. I hadn’t seen this outfit before and I immediately thought, “Oh, I think she got some new shoes. Cute! And I wonder where that jacket is from? It reminds me of Laura.” Ha ha!
I guess what I’m saying is, it was actually really fun being “surprised” by seeing what she put together. Maybe this seems obvious to all of you, which totally makes sense. But I’m just so used to being there when we shoot together. So it’s kind of fun being on the other side sometimes too. I think this is gonna be a fun. 🙂
Emma’s Wearing: Dress and Shoes/ASOS, Jacket c/o ModCloth (last year), Hat and Tights/Target, Purse/Rebecca Minkoff.
The other random thing about these two outfits is that even though Elsie and I live seven hours apart now, we’ve still both been seeing some unseasonably warm weather. I mean, it’s very often snowing in December, but as you can see, we are far from wearing our snow boots yet.
Anyway, thanks for letting us share (and me ramble on) our first long distance Sister Style. Here’s to many more years of emailing photos of each other back and forth like weirdos. 🙂 xo. Emma (and Elsie)

Hi guys! It’s awkward to us too the new version of sister style with separate pictures of you guys.
But still fun and it’s one of my favorite kind of post.
Loved the Elsie’s glasses and Emma’s dress is so cute! 🙂

Love this! That jacket looks SO cute on you Emma! I bought it last year but it looked weird on me and I was so sad. I love the hearts!
That is hilarious, the long distance thing!! I love your outfits!! It is crazy, where I live it is warm,but we have cold wind. It just doesn’t feel right!!
Don’t ever stop Sister Style! It’s my favorite!!! My daughter’s too 🙂
Aw, the long distance thing sounds so cute, haha!

Oh EMMA! I love that outfit! It’s perfect! The bows are super festive without being cheesy. And the coat is a dream. I also love a good post with a beanie involved. My BF and I fell in love with these beanies at Nordstrom, they’re the perfect weight and come in great neutral colors. too. You should check it out. I’m just so in love I cannot help but pass it on. (they’re the BP brand, like way affordable too).
It’s unbelievably warm right now where we are, and Christmas day is going to be even warmer! It’s a crazy year! Love your outfits girls!

You’re both so stinkin’ stylish! Even miles apart it shows.

Love that you guys are still doing this! It’d be fun to see yours & hers photos side by side… especially if you choose similar backgrounds like you did here. Can’t wait for the next one! 😉
I agree! Love that you chose similar backgrounds, though if you could put one of the photos side by side at the end I think that’d be great!
Love the side-by-side styles from a distance…such fun!
I especially Love the Santa Bag, heart coat and those fabulous black stockings.

I love that you two are still doing sister styles. I was really hoping you would keep doing these even while you’re apart. Love both of your outfits!
Emma, I love that bag! And Elsie’s coat reminds me of my grandmother’s leopard print coat (that is now a tradition for the men in our family to model on Christmas Eve!)
And I am so not a fan of this warm weather. At least not for Christmas. Give me at least the hope of a white Christmas!
These are such fabulously eclectic looks. I absolutely love all of it. Have a happy unseasonably warm holiday!

That heart coat makes you so cute !
I love this long distance edition of Sister Style! I love the bow detailing on Emma’s dress, as well as Elsie’s clogs.
Happy Holidays ABM team 🙂

Really? Haha- I understand!
In the OLD days we used to take photos of each other so we were never in a photo together. So, to me if just feels like old times. :))

That’s really sweet! Thank you!!

I love how your backgrounds were so similar and your outfits had the same color scheme!!! So cute, so cute!!!!
You both look awesome! I am in love with Elsie’s shoes! I had been eyeing them on Topshop for a while, and I’m glad to hear that they’re comfortable. Would you say that they are true to size?

Wow to that leopard jacket, looks gorgeous!

I have a vintage coat like that. never been brave enough to wear it. not sure I can pull it off like you do. love your blog and sister style
Amazingly stunning pics. love your animal print jacket. Good choice of colors. Lovable heart coat.
Thank you for showing me those clogs, Elsie! I’ve been admiring your Swedish Hasbeens for years but they’re a tad pricey for me… So when I spotted this post I clicked onto TopShop’s website and they were half price… So now they’re winging their way to me – yay!
Happy Christmas, you guys!
This is such an awesome sister style idea and I love that you guys are managing it long distance 😉
I’ve done this once with my sister in Australia and me in Germany (although our home country is Indonesia) and it was so much fun to see the stark contrast in weather and season between us. Hope you guys have a lot more fun organising this in the future (although I do hope you guys get to see each other soon enough too!)
