I have a confession to make. I own more satin blouses than any one person needs, and I regret nothing. It started with one beige colored top that my sister handed me because it didn’t fit her, and now there’s a small shrine of them in my closet. There’s something about satin that makes me […]
My sister dragged me to my first big show years ago and I spent the entire afternoon standing in front of my closet, panicking. I had NOTHING that felt right. Everything looked too office-y or too plain. And then she showed up in an oversized jersey and baggy jeans, looking so cool it hurt, and […]
The first time my sister dragged me to a vineyard for her birthday, I showed up in leggings and a giant sweatshirt. Everyone else looked like they had wandered off the pages of a travel magazine, and I looked like I had rolled out of bed. I have never lived it down. Honestly, she still […]
I went to my first polo match maybe eight years ago now, with my sister, and honestly I had NO idea what to wear. I panicked and packed three whole dresses into a tote bag “just in case,” which of course I never do for anything else. Turns out the dress code sits somewhere between […]
I have a folder on my phone called “outfits for things,” and honestly it is a mess. Screenshots of dresses, a note about which shoes pinch after two hours, a reminder that I own a sage jumpsuit I forgot about entirely. My sister texted me last month in a full panic because she had three […]
My sister called me in a panic last spring because the invitation said “semi formal” and she genuinely did not know what that meant. Neither of us did, really. Is it a gown? Is it a nice top and pants? Where is the line, exactly? So I did what any slightly-too-invested older sister would do. […]
I bought my first pair of gold heels for a wedding about six years ago and I honestly thought I would wear them once and shove them to the back of the closet forever. That is not what happened. Turns out they went with everything. My sister borrowed them twice before I even got a […]
I have a confession. For years I only wore flats because I convinced myself I couldn’t walk in anything with even a little lift to it. My sister Jenna used to tease me about it endlessly. Then one day I found a pair of gold heels with a thick, sturdy base, and everything changed. I […]
My sister called me last spring in a bit of a panic because she had been invited to her neighbor’s baby’s christening and had absolutely no idea what to put on. She kept saying she wanted to look put together but not like she was trying to steal any attention, which is basically the golden […]
My sister called me last Tuesday at four in the afternoon in a full panic because she had a dinner reservation at seven and, in her words, “nothing to wear.” She has a closet the size of a small bedroom. But you know how it goes. So I did what any good sister would do. […]
