Why do Moms love to dress their children alike?  Who knows, but obviously, this is not a new phenomenon.  My Momma dressed us alike on occasion.  With the spring here, and then summertime beach pictures, I know many families are planning sibling outfits.

Shopping for girls is fairly easy.  Shopping for little boys is easy too, if you know the right shop!  Finding sibling outfits is a little trickier when you have girls and boys.  Finding a custom shop helps. 

But, what do you do when your children range from newborn to 12???

Here’s an idea.  Work for coordinating outfits instead.  Put the baby in a seersucker jumper.  Match big brother’s shirt to the jumper applique and add a seersucker touch.  Finish off the set with a seersucker flower headband for big sister to wear with a white shirt and khaki shorts.

Another idea:  Put the baby in a fun print.  Find big brother a polo one of the colors from the baby’s dress.  Big sister can add color with a bright scarf over her favorite white tee.
