Memories of 'Mommy and Me'

Being a mother brings back many fond memories of my own childhood shared with my Mom and our cherished 'Mommy and Me' outfits.

I vividly remember watching Mother sew us new outfits. I would imagine how special I would be dressed as her. The aniticipation would build and my expectations were never disappointed.

Mother and I shared a special relationship, especially since I was the first girl after 3 boys. Looking like her only increased that bond for me.

She and I still share a special bond as mother and daughter and we do share the same taste in clothing, but we have long out grown the 'mommy and me' fashions. It's now a tradition that I am able to carry on with my own daughter.

'Mommy and Me' fashion outfits are the fun and simple statements of love shared between mothers and their children, a special bond shared and expressed.

I will share with you a few simple ideas to create 'mommy and me' outfits, memories from other mothers, on-line shopping for mommy and me clothing and a few blogs discussing this topic.

I would enjoy hearing from you as well.

Do you have a story, an idea or comment to share? Then let's hear from you.

Traveling down memory lane keeps those traditions alive and I'd like to invite you on the journey. Come along and let's see where we go.

I want to look like you Mommy

Enjoy it while you can, these days don't last long

What greater compliment can a parent receive from chldren than wanting to mimick their parents.

When little girls get to wear the big girl fashions with a juvenile flair or boys wearing a matching tie with Dad, oh how big they feel.

Fun prints, cool color combos are fresh and festive for a girl of any age. Styles can stay as different as your personalties. Having outfits in matching colors gives that immediate illusion of looking like Mom or Dad.

There are no hard fast rules to any 'mommy and me' fashionable outfits, so let's look at a few ideas to create a quick and easy 'Mommy and Me' look.
  • Warm Weather Ideas:
    Bathing suits or beach wraps of the same color.

    Handbags can easily say "I match Mom" by using a large and small version.

    Skirts in the same fabric.

    Shoes of the same color and add some matching bling. Girls always love sparkle.

    A fun idea if you make your own clothes, is start with a main fabric for an adult and introduce a coordinating piece for your child.

    Even just using fabrics in the same color family still keep the outfits matched as a grouping.
  • Cold Weather Ideas
    Coats
    Matching hat, scarves and gloves.
  • Special Occassions:
    Take a tip from the bride and her bridal party by wearing matching outfits. They will be matched, why not you and your daughter(s).

    Going out for the evening, just by sharing a similar fabric will say 'Mommy and Me' and you can still sport your own adult style.
  • Men Fashion:
    Matching neckties instantly connects Dad and son.

    Why not try a matching vest?

    Same color shirt.

    Simple little details as this creates immediate connection to the outfits.

    My mom and I would sometimes wear the same shirt or the same colors. As a kid I thought it was so fun.

    My mom sewed us matching dresses too for my four sisters. Must have kept her very busy.

    I can honestly say I never wanted to dress like my mom, but that didn't prevent it from happening. :-)

    Remembered this so well.

    Until I figured out that many people bought clothes from a store, my mother made all my clothes. I think the Mommy and Me was because there was always extra fabric for her dress and mine. I had better clothes than my friends with embroidery and smocking but I wanted store bought clothes. Looking back, the handmade clothes were better and I did like the matching. Thanks for the trip back in time.

    aww this is such a cute idea! When I have baby one day, I would love my baby girl and me to wear the same kind of clothings when ever possible. [Not if it turns out to be a boy though :P]..Thank you for sharing those lovely mommy and girl fashion tips.

    While my husband would likely kill me, I think this is so cute! :)

    Nice lens, this is the first time I have seen this, great idea, to be dressed a like. I like it.
    Thanks for sharing.

    So cute. My mother and I never did dress alike (maybe because there has always been a big difference in our shapes and styles). My daughter though loves most of the same clothing I do and even though she is now 6" taller than me, she still loves to wear my clothes. Every year for Christmas we get a matching pair of flannel PJ's that we both wear out eventually. We've bought matching skirts and t-shirts because we both we're crazy about them. She's now 16 and still dresses very similar to me.
