Sister Sister

We get it. Sometimes it can be confusing to read a blog written by identical twin sisters. It's as if we have the same voice, or look alike, or something....don't worry, even our own mother gets us confused sometimes.

If you can't tell from the post who you're hearing from, look at the very bottom. If it says "Posted by Cardigans &Couture" - that's Regan. Since she started the blog fours years ago, she gets the moniker. If it reads "posted by Katie" you're hearing from yours truly. For those of you that don't know us personally, we thought it would be fun to share a little more about who we are, so maybe you won't have to look at the bottom of the posts to tell us apart.
