Yesterday I blog-swapped with the girls at Ruffled Romance. Here's a recap:

I love when outfits have a story behind them; the chambray blouse and navy wooden beaded necklace I'm wearing were purchased on a trip I took to Spain 5 years ago. I bought the top from Zara when the store was only in Spain! Love at first sight, and that's something that hasn't changed.

blog swap: Meet Molly & Mac

today I'm blog swapping with the girls at Ruffled Romance. They are gorgeous sisters with great style. Show my fellow Carolina gals some love & see what outfits we swapped!


We are so thrilled to be posting for Elspeth today:) Elspeth is such a beautiful and talented girl with a wardrobe that would make any girl swoon. We must admit that we are avid stalkers of Elle Bow Room Blog daily! It has been so much fun to keep up with her blog and see how much it has grown from the beginning. Elspeth, you are going to do big things and we are excited to call you a friend.

We are Molly and MacKenzie and we blog over at Ruffled Romance. For our look, we both wanted to keep it casual and summer appropriate. Crochet dresses and lightweight linen pants are summer staples that are definitely found in our closets. We love layering lots of jewelry to complete the perfect look. MacKenzie and I are sisters and are three years apart. We are very different but both share a passion for fashion and clothing. We have loved having the experience of blogging together because we get to express our unique and individual styles but we also get to do something that we both love together. Thanks again to Elspeth for having us on her blog today and we hope to see some of you over at Ruffled Romance!
