Interview with Sense & Sequins

One of my favorite blogs lately has been Sense & Sequins, written by two sisters in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Their posts are spot on with trends and they always incorporate a great mix of discount and designer, along with some of their local fashion favorites. Today, I'm featuring an interview with Holly and Casey about what inspired their blog and some insight into their fashion philosophies. 

1. What inspired you to start a blog?

Holly got really into reading blogs after she finished college. Fashion, cooking, DIY, you name is she would send it to me to read. I became hooked. She had mentioned to me several times that she wanted to create her own blog and she wanted me to do it with her. Finally after I graduated college I decided that I needed a creative outlet and the blog would be perfect for that. Friends and family were always coming up to us asking where we got our clothes and asking us for help with styling for special occasions and dates. It just seemed like a perfect fit for us. 

2. How would you define your style? 

Holly and I both tend to lean towards more classic and clean, but we will both throw you for a loop with a crazy pick every once in a while.
