the first day of school.

Remember when you were little and picking out your outfit for the first day of school was the biggest decision you had to make? Now, you're deciding what to major in in college, what classes to take and how many credits you can manage.  Or are nearing the end of your high school experience and trying to decide what the next step is. 

We can't help you decide your major or make new friends, but we can make sure your outfit is killer.

Here at The Sister Shop, we want to make your new semester a little easier, by helping you look cute on your first day.  A common misconception about our shop is that we are "just a missionary store" or that you "have to have your call to shop here" or that you "have to be Mormon" to shop here.  None of these are true! We have clothes for YOU. 

It is true that we don't carry pants or shorts.  But you can buy those lots of places.  We do carry the cutest tops, skirts and dresses that are mission standard. Meaning, that if you are LDS and wear garments, our clothes will cover them.  Or if you don't and still want to be a little more modest, our clothes have got you covered.  

So whether you are the back to school excited type

Or are dreading the first day of school...

Come to The Sister Shop and we will help you make it the best first day of school ever. Our friendly and experienced staff love helping you put together the perfect outfit.  And lets be honest, looking and feeling cute can only help your first day go as smoothly as possible.

You can pair any of our adorable tops or cardigans with jeans or colored skinnies to make the perfect outfit.  We also have dresses and pencil skirts you can dress down for the perfect casual look.

Maximizing Your Wardrobe: One Shirt Eight Ways

One of the hardest parts of serving a mission is the limited amount of space you have for personal belongings. At The Sister Shop it's our goal to help you maximize your wardrobe and get the most out of the clothes you take with you. In this post we'll show you how to style a solid colored blouse with eight different skirts.

1- Pair it with a coordinating patterned maxi skirt. Yellow is a fantastic color because it matches so 

many other colors. Here Jami pairs it with a patterned maxi skirt that has a slightly darker yellow 

already in the skirt.  

2- Pair it with a coordinating patterned pencil skirt. This JUNIEblake pencil is so fun!  Nothing is classier than a pencil skirt with a blouse tucked in. Many girls tend to stay away from patterned skirts because they're afraid they won't be able to match their shirts with them. We believe a patterned skirt is one of the best ways to mix up your wardrobe. If you find a skirt that has multiple colors in it you'll be able to match several solid colored shirts with it.  These black Hush Puppies are a perfect finish to the outfit.

3- Pair it with a plain colored, below the knee skirt with a belt. Our "slinky" skirt is a perfect choice that comes in black or navy!  A plain, just below the knee black skirt is an essential for almost every missionary. This skirt is super versatile, and will match almost every shirt you bring. Add a little more flair to this outfit by adding a waist belt.

4- Pair it with a minimal patterned pencil skirt. Another fun JUNIEblake pencil, black with a grey pattern.  Once again, pencil skirts dress up any outfit. This pencil skirt is fabulous because of it's neutral colors, but still has a subtle pattern.

5- Pair it with our ruffle skirt. Our ruffle skirts are one of our best selling skirts. They flatter nearly every body type and are very comfortable because of their elastic waist. The ruffles on the bottom add just enough frills to make it a bit more exciting than a plain skirt.  This plum color goes especially well with the cheery yellow. These Taos mary janes have a slight heel to add a dressy touch, but are still so comfortable!

6- Pair it with a plain, contrasting color pencil skirt and an infinity scarf. We love colors, and especially these two colors together. Yellow and blue nearly always look fantastic together. The color of this skirt brightens up the muted tones of the top and make for a bright and happy outfit. The sand colored Taos shoes Jami is wearing are so neutral they will go with just about any outfit, so cute and comfy!

7- Pair it with a contrasting maxi skirt. This outfit is tons of fun. The green and yellow are a bit unexpected, but go together so well. 

8- Pair it with a plain colored maxi and belt it. A plain colored maxi skirt can be hemmed just above the ankle or mid-calf and is an essential for any missionary. This skirt will match nearly everything and is very versatile. It is super breezy for summer or can be paired with leggings or fleece tights in the winter to keep your legs extra warm. 

Please note:  our beautiful model Jami is 5'11" tall, so the pencil skirts will be missionary standard on 

anyone shorter than that!  Also, maxi skirts can be hemmed to any length for mission standards.  Maxi skirt patterns come and go in our shop, but our basic skirts are always here for you!

The Perfect Bag

For a missionary finding the perfect bag is essential, and is no easy task. According to the church website, "You are encouraged to choose shoulder bags and purses that are both professional and durable: backpacks are not professional."

When we looked into getting a bag that met all of the needs of a sister missionary and was fashionable and efficient, they were nearly impossible to find. This led us to designing our own custom bags that are made specifically for sister missionaries. 

Features of our custom bags:

Convertible from a shoulder bag to a backpack for bike riding

Padded Shoulder Strap for comfort

Made of durable Cordura fabric which is water resistant

Waterbottle holder

Umbrella holder

Pocket for pass along cards

A variety of colors to choose from

Here's our adorable Jami showing off all the fantastic features of our bags.
