It should have been a vow in at our wedding; thou shall love thy wife even with glitter in her hair and a glue gun on her hip. Thou shall not ask to see crafting receipt and say “looks great sweetie” to all my crazy ideas!<\/p>\n

\"theSister#1, Selina; Sister#2, Sophie; Sister#3, Olivia; and Sister#4, Elise<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are four real life sisters who share a love of creativity, clothes, and fabulous finds. We are separated by miles and miles (and maybe a couple of states) \u00a0We were raised on a meager budget so we learned to make the best of what we had. Thrifting, repurposing and sister swaps helped us make the most of our wardrobes then and we are sticking to it now. We love putting together stylish looks for less and by\u00a0less<\/em> we mean less than 5 dollars. Check out our daily blog: The Sisters 4 Say More is More<\/a>.<\/p>\n
