Are You a Corny, Matchy Matchy Mom? Join the Club! Mommy and Me Fashions

Every Monday on my @Fab_kids Instagram account, I feature mommy and me fashion photos with the hashtag #fab_mom.  Most often, the mother -offspring duo is matching in some manner.  Are matching outfits for mommy and daughter or mommy and son corny or cute?

Matching my daughter is something I shamelessly do consciously and unconsciously too.  Whether Juliet likes it or not she is my mini-me and oftentimes will dress like it too.  Here’s what I mean.matching outfits, matching outfit, mommy and mematching outfits, matching outfit, mommy and me matching outfits, matching outfit, mommy and me matching outfits, matching outfit, mommy and me

Sometimes we simply coordinate instead of being an exact match.

I find this is much easier to do since it’s rare to find brands that offer exact replicas for the mother and daughter.  Coordinating colors looks great for photos and gives you more flexibility in using what you already have.  Follow me on Instagram @fab_kids and @stylishlystella for more!  And leave me a comment on whether you think this is cute or corny!

Fashion Week – Petite Parade Kids Fashion Week in NYC

Leather, leather, I love leather!  It instantly ups the cool factor on any outfit.  You could be wearing the most nerdy, frou frou or preppy fashions but when you add a leather item, tada! edgy!  The same effect holds true for kids’ fashions.   See what I mean with my daughter’s outfits below!

Any of the above styles could really be unisex.  I know J could rock any of those easily!

The runway show finale reminded us that these mini-me leather jackets are a fun, fashionable way to do some twinning (the brand also makes adult sized leather jackets)!
