April Sun Brings Color Fun

Holidays are special to us and since we couldn't all be together we spent the day napping, eating delicious lasagna (made by merrily r), drinking wine, and laughing. We decided to take advantage of the beautiful Michigan day and get a outfit post in! None of these photos have been edited or filtered.

Merrily Favorites: Midi Rings and Monochromatic Color

R: I am in love with Midi rings right now! A midi ring is a ring that fits right above your knuckle. You can wear it on any finger, but most people wear them on the ring finger, middle finger or pointer finger. They tend to come in sizes 3 or 4 and are so trendy right now! I am always afraid that it will fly off my finger because it's so close to the end, but they never do! You can find them at a lot of women's clothing and accessory stores right now for pretty inexpensive...so go get a few, they are too cute not to!

J: Monochromatic color anyone? Think Spring!

I'm loving this right now. The color, the simple yet dimensional style, the twist to the classic black and white monochrome. Looking just makes my heart happy.

Enjoy Merrily's!

Seriously, are you swooning yet? 

I found this adorable floral peach top by Lauren Conrad from KOHL's for....wait for it....$21.99! Pair it with an adorable peach tulle skirt like this beauty. 

If I saw you rocking this sweet and girly monochromatic color scheme, I'm not going to lie, I'd definitely be envious! 

We'd love to see your monochromatic color style, lovelies. Email us pics at merrilysisters@gmail.com and we'll post them. 

Stay beautiful and full of color this spring, Merrily's.

5 Things In My Closet I Can't Live Without

You know when you’re at the mall and you see something super cute that looked awesome on that tall skinny girl that just came out of the fitting room? Well that happens to me on the daily. I mean, It’s extremely hard to work in a mall and not want to buy ALL THE THINGS. I always see pieces that I wouldn’t normally wear and I think to myself “I don’t have anything like this in my closet, I’m going to go for it!” Then fast forward to the one night a month that I am getting ready to go out and right before I walk out the door I quick change into my go to skinny jeans and a plain t-shirt.

I’m learning to take more risks, but sometimes I just can’t help feeling the best in the pieces that are comfy and easy. If I had to choose five things that I really couldn’t live without from my closet they would probably have to be:::

1// Skinny Jeans

2// A Chambray Shirt

3// A Simple Blazer

4// Printed Scarves

5// Comfy T-Shirts+Tank Tops

It wasn’t hard to find (ahem, mostly mirror) pictures of these items since I literally wear them ALL the time. What are some items you can’t live without? Maybe I need to add to my collection! We are also going to start posting some of our outfits up on the blog (sans the mirror, haha) & hopefully we can inspire you to step outside your comfort zone when it comes to fashion too!
