Guest post: Soul Sister Style Sister


Have you ever noticed how Anthropologie keeps coming out with items that are so similar they could be sisters? Ever since the Cartography Cardigan (now $50) came out we’ve thought of it as the sister to the Tick Tock Cardigan. And the Claudine Tee (now $30) looks like it could be the Wind-Rippled Tee’s twin sister (fraternal that is). So what could be better than having sisters style these sister items for you! Sisters Tricia (http://tricias-take.blogspot.com/) and Jessica (http://breakfastatgigis.blogspot.com/) will each do one casual and one dressed-up look. Tricia will do one item and Jessica will do the other. Here goes…

    What a fun post! I love seeing an anthropologie item two ways, and dressing it down or up is a great way to feature versatility!

    How cute! Great post ladies! (And I see my beloved Ambrosial Cardigan on Tricia – oh it will soon be mine!)

    My observation: the Ambrosial Cardigan is the sister to the Dwarf Quince Cardigan. Both are made by Guinevere; both have the same ruched 3/4 sleeve; and both have the same twisted belt detail in back! πŸ™‚

    Great post! I love Tricia and Jessica!

    You two are making me wish that I had a sister to swap Anthro clothes with! It's cute that you seem to gravitate towards similar items.

    Very fun post! I like how you styled the Claudine Tee I was considering buying the Ambrosial Cardi, now I will style it with my orange Claudine Tee πŸ™‚

    So cute! You girls did such a great job with your looks! I'm a little sad i never picked up the claudine tee or the wind rimpled tee now.

    Tricia and Jessica – you girls are so cute, and I am loving this post! What a great idea!

    Very cute! Great minds must think alike – I've paired my teal wind-rippled tee with the openwork vines skirt many a time :).

    This is such a cute post! You made me miss my sister who lives very far away. P.S. I had fun checking out both of your blogs today too. πŸ™‚

    Cute post idea. I love the styling and different looks for each piece.
