stripes, polka dots, and a whole lot of neutral

By now you have probably figured out that we don't wear very many colors-neutrals are just more of our thing! We will throw in some dark green or light pinks here and there, perhaps some burnt orange, but typically we stray away from bright colors in our wardrobe. We love colors elsewhere though. On our lips, fingernails, and filling our homes? That is where we love color the most. It has been several months since we have been able to have a picture taken of the two of us together. Call it the lazy's, but we just haven't whipped out the tripod in...several months! Luckily our friend Megan was kind enough to offer to snap a few pictures of us. When we first started we always took outfit pictures together! A lot has changed in the past year!  What are your favorite colors to wear? -a clover & a bee

back to school.

It is official. School is back in session. We became literally worthless the past two weeks-accomplishing nothing but finishing all of the new girl available on the interwebs and watching almost all of the Mad Men episodes. The break was nice though, as we both have real life responsibilities yet again.  This morning Erin set off for her last first day of classes in college (please hold the "but you might be a teacher" or "well... you never know..."'s-trust me, she insists she is finished) and I set off for my first day of student teaching. I am so excited for the adventures ahead of me, my first day was full of staff meetings and a little time in the classroom.  I was even given flowers on my first day! I thought they were from the school-I had never received flowers before so I didn't even think to look at the card. Once I got home though I saw my boyfriend's sister-in-law's address on the back and then a little note supposedly from my boyfriend on the inside. It was pretty funny to try and unfold that story. The flowers made me so happy though. here is to a new school year! -Leah

what we wore when...

..we went for a stroll around the neighborhood
















We completely acknowledge that we have been horrible about doing outfit posts lately. Are we just a bit lazy sometimes? Maybe. (Thanks for the encouragement, Mary!)

The weather has been seriously perfect the last few days. With highs of only 90 degrees and lows around 60 we have been walking around the neighborhood like crazy! This has made professor especially happy, since he is usually involved in said walks. His little legs can only go so far, so we aren't able to go on extended walks. (Though I did take him on a two miler the other day.. I ended up carrying him for a good half mile)

Our summer outfits are pretty simple usually. Breezy tops, tanks, shorts, and our clogs get the most use! Leah has literally been living in her cut off Levi shorts...

what item of clothing have you been living in this summer?

-e plus l

Also you may have noticed we did a wee bit of shuffling things around. We present.... bigger photos! (So now when you look back at old posts the photos will be smaller, sorry about that!)

what we wore...

...on a Monday. Apparently yesterday we were both in a "blue" mood. Not sadness (though Leah started to feel like she was getting old) but the color. Its funny how we dress so similarly sometimes. Usually it is more similar then just wearing the same color though. Today we both showed up at work with our chambray shirts and dresses on...









Leah: I had my first midlife crisis yesterday. It spurred from getting both the checks I ordered and checking my mail to find the registration for my truck. For some reason this caused me to spiral into an "I'm getting old" freak out that I am sure a lot of you have experienced. We also recently set up our utilities for the apartment which added to it all.

Erin: Even though this week is the home stretch before finals, it is somewhat of a relief! These past few weeks have been crazy and filled with concerts. A lot of the faculty in the music department are going to be on sabbatical next year, my senior year, so it's felt like a lot of "last concerts" even though we still have next year. We had our three big concerts these past three weeks, and I'm pretty sure they were all trying to go out with a bang - because they were pretty extravagant.

We're starting into the last week of class before finals - wish us luck in staying sane! 

That's also our excuse if it seems like we're slacking a bit here on e plus l - we're a little busy :)
