My boys are the cutest! I match their outfits all the time and I am tired of hearing… “Are they twins?” I always answer, No!
“Oh, because they’re dressed the same”
I get it, twins are the ones who usually dress the same, but the point is my kids look like twins because they are dressed the same but really, is this a valid question? The kids look completely different and there’s about a 6″ difference between their heights.
Now, why do I dress them the same? Simple: I love it! I love to match them and they just look cute. But this is not the only reason. Here are another two:
- they are easily identifiable at a public place… i.e. birthday party. Random mom: “which are your kids?” Me: the ones that are matching. BOOM! It’s so simple and easy to find them in a crowd. Just because they are matching.
- No fighting over who gets the coolest Star Wars t-shirt. And yes, this does happen when I don’t match them. The struggle is real of fighting for clothes. This is just my way of keeping it simple while getting ready. As a mom, I try to find things that make my life easier.
So yeah easy to spot boys and no fighting. Seems simple enough. I should also add in Puerto Rico where I grew up, matching siblings and even coordinating the whole families outfits was and STILL a thing. I remember when my mom used to match my brothers or me and my sister! Literally every family gathering would have people matching outfits all the time.
Anyways matching is fun and I will probably continue to match their outfits until I can’t find matching ones because of size or until they tell me they want to stop.
