Twinning is now a ‘thing’ and the fashion crowd has been obsessed with it lately. Fast becoming one of the easiest ways to be noticed by street style photographers, more and more friends and siblings are showing up in identical coordinates in hopes of making street style history.
I grew up with three sisters and a mom who would sometimes sew our clothes. The fancy Christmas dresses, the Easter dresses and our Sunday's best were all made with love on her table top Singer sewing machine. Best believe that most times we were twinning from head to toe and twinning wasn’t even a thing back then. Luckily she didn’t make us 'coats of many colors' as the song goes. Ha!
Up until recently, if you walked into an event and spotted someone in the same outfit as you, you probably left to go change. Not anymore! This trend is now embraced and was sprinkled all over Spring 2018 fashion shows.
They say the best things in life are free. Today I’m showing a trend that money can’t buy because it’s totally free. Not the expensive yet vulgar looking Gucci everything that’s taking over the world but twinning with my BFF, an extension of me, my laughter buddy, my daughter who just so happens to be a twin herself!
How ironic is that!
We share and borrow between three of us my fifteen year old daughter included. This time instead of sharing, we decided to each get our own cape dress. And the idea to twin was born.
The rest is history...
I remain very very appreciative of you all!

ReplyDeleteYou look like a sisters, perfect styling, so feminine!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst, that's a gorgeous dress! Secondly, I love the twinning combo, what a great idea! :) You and your daughter look great in your matching outfits.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I grew up wearing matching outfits, so of course I do the same for my boys, haha! I've had a few people ask if they were twins as I dress them so similarly.
Hope you are having a great weekend! :) We have been spending time with visiting family, which is wonderful.

you both look gorgeous! You are rocking this twinning trend. Daughter and mother, both equally beautiful and full of charisma! love these photos so much<3.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, this fresh trend is a lot of fun. I seriously prefer it to the brand everything trend that can indeed turn a little vulgar.
This post was a pleasure to both see and read. Family is everything, isn't it?
Sharing our love for style with our loved ones is precious!
My grandmother would often make me things I expressed desire for or admired, and she would always make the identical things/items for my first cousins ( her other granddaughters). So, we would wear the same things. It was always nice to share something so special.
My granny also had a Singer machine, I think she might still have it.
Oh gosh, you look like two amazingly stylish sisters! Love this look on both of you and the touch of purple is just perfect!
