I'll admit, I had gotten frustrated when I came out to the living room to find someone (not sure who...Princess Sparkles claims it was Pigtails, and Pigtails, well, she doesn't talk) had taken my orange nail polish and spilled it on the carpet. Then I shut off Princess Sparkles' music in the car after she became extremely demanding. After a long tantrum, I eventually turned it back on after she calmed down and said, "please." And then we finally arrived at Fair Isle's house. Thank God!
Since I gave up shopping for Lent, I decided to do some browsing in the closet of my sister, Polka Dots (Ssshhhh, don't tell her). She shipped most of her clothes to Hawaii, but I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few cute pieces still hanging in her closet. Here's what I found...
BLUE SWEATER - Forever 21
EARRINGS - Vintage (from my grandma's collection)
RED BELT - Forever 21
BLACK CLOGS - Forever 21
As you can see, Polka Dots is significantly taller than I am (that blue sweater dress is really a tunic, I think and the sleeveless trench is now a midi... though that is in!). Not sure how two sisters can be almost 5 inches apart in height, but we are. My theory is she slept more as a kid.
Anyway, I encourage you to do some "shopping" in someone else's closet. It's good cheap fun and they don't even have to know about it (unless, of course, you post it on your blog and they read it). And it's the perfect way to turn a "bad day" into a good one!
TRENCH DRESS - Pikoi
BLACK BELT - New York and Co
PURSE - B. Makowsky
EARRINGS - Vintage (from my Grandma's collection)
CLOGS - Forever 21

awesome sweater :)
I love that sweater and how you styled it!
Oh amazing! I love the blue color on you, looks gorgeous! Shopping in other closets is the best!!! It's free and it's also so exciting! My BFF and I used to trade 5 items for 30 days and then trade back. It was so fun b/c we felt like we got new clothes for a month, but we didn't have to give up our own permanently!
That is what I miss most about college life -- lots of girlfriends living nearby to borrow clothes from. :)
And I love your grandma's earrings -- so pretty!
Amen to that. I do this very frequently from my mom's closet. She practically never gives away anything and has clothes stashed at various closets and boxes in her house. I love to look through and find treasures I can layer and turn into cool outfits. So much fun. She is so sweet of course and would land me even items from her current closet. Love that blue sweater dress. Great find.
I'm sure there is nothing better than raiding your sisters closet! Not that I know what it is like to be the pillager, but rather the person who's closet is being ravaged.
Chic on the Cheap
Very hot look! Especially love the shoes.

The tunic/dress looks lovely on you! Pity I can't borrow from anyone! x
I love "shopping" in friend's closets. Another girl I met blogging and I swapped some stuff recently and it feels so great to have new alternatives. I love that trench by the way!
I love shopping my sisters closet it's free and the clothes fits me.
