These little piggies go to market in some very fashionable attire.

Prissy and Pop are two super adorable pig siblings who live with owner and schoolteacher Melissa Nicholson in Florida.

"I fell in love with pigs after visiting a pig farm while attending The University of Alabama," Nicholson told Mashable in an email. "I have been in love with pigs ever since."

Her two tiny pink pets are named named Priscilla and Poppleton, or Prissy and Pop for short.

At the suggestion of her niece, Nicholson created an Instagram for Prissy two and a half years ago and little Pop came along a bit later.

"I never dreamed it would become as popular as it has," Nicholson said.

To date, the account has over 600 thousand followers.

Pop and I are home watching tv today, because it's Parent Teacher Conference Day. Of course, we are going to get a good report #SillyPop.

One of the sweetest things to witness in Nicholson's photos is the adorable relationship between Prissy and Pop.

"They totally adore one another," she told us. "They love to cuddle with one another just like the photos show."

One of the things that makes Prissy and Pop stand out amongst other adorable Instagram pets are their outfits, as Nicholson regularly dresses them up for their photos.

"The clothes they wear are dog clothes mostly from local pet stores," Nicholson said. "I dress them up for school and for outings we go on, but they are not dressed up at home, unless it’s for a picture."

Yeah, I kinda love this Popsqueak! Happy Snout Sunday everyone!Pop and I are all worn out from a fun evening at the park. #siblinglove #friendsnotfood #bigsister #littlebrother #cuddle #SnoutSunday #park #PrissyAndPop A photo posted by Priscilla and Poppleton(@prissy_pig) on Aug 23, 2015 at 5:13pm PDT

Additionally, as a teacher, Nicholson likes to bring Prissy and Pop to school with her.

"I try and incorporate Prissy and Pop into my lessons whenever possible," she said. "I think the pigs are teaching the children kindness and compassion to others and giving them an experience they will never forget."

While the piggies only travel with Nicholson occasionally and spend most of their days in sunny Florida, fans can fill the void of not having the real Prissy and Pop by getting their hooves on the recently released stuffed animals made in their likeness.

Nicholson has also written two children's books about the adorable pigs that will be released later this year.

We still kinda wish we could own the real thing, though.
