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.
Etsy is an excellent source for coordinating accessories. Here are few of my favorites from EtsyKids Team members:
