For more important stuff like weddings or photos, I do like to color coordinate us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7224 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 15:45:26 +0000 MegWag 7224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised by how often my husband and I will, independently, select similar outfits to wear on a given day.<br /> But then the same thing used to happen in my office when several of us would show up in the same color scheme or something.<br /> I could see doing it in a fun way- like matching Christmas PJs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7223 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 15:23:00 +0000 duetletterpress 7223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not matching but i do consider what we wear when we go out in public. similar style, color palette. but most of the time i just "consider" it. haha. and not actually do anything to make us coordinate better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7125 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:12:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 7125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the kardashians buy matching pajamas every year. i think that might be a fun christmas tradition. would make cute pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7123 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:11:05 +0000 mrsjyw 7123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO cute, one of my gf's and her family do this every Christmas. I'm not sure if I'll try this, but I'm definitely a fan of outfit coordination. Not necessarily matching to the bone, but small snippets of a 'theme' in outfits is always cute in my eyes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7114 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:26:15 +0000 Jenna 7114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was so bad that if an outfit didn't come in both pink and purple, it would not be purchased. WTF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7112 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:24:35 +0000 HabesBabe 7112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg!! @jenna-- that matchy matcht pic is AWESOME. See, that's the only time I would do it-- when it's funny and people aren't taking it seriously. And oh dear, MATCHING TWINS through elementary school?! I couldn't handle that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7110 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:22:10 +0000 tequiero21 7110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol@jenna. the horror! i'm with habesbabe. luckily, my twins won't be the same sex. if they were, i definitely wouldn't dress them the same. they'd have a bigger wardrobe if they got different clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7108 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:13:13 +0000 Jenna 7108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Habesbabe: my stepsisters are twins and when they were growing up they ALWAYS!!!!! (extra exclamation points for emphasis!!!) wore the same thing. Jenifer wore pink, Jasmine wore purple. Always. Until they were like 12. Gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7106 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:10:28 +0000 Jenna 7106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was talking about this to my coworker and she sent me this link: <a href="http://www.snugasabugblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/christmastestimonial.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.snugasabugblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/christmastestimonial.jpg</a> : ) </p> <p>I think it would be hilarious if I could get my 6'10" husband into some footie pajamas!</p> <p>Seriously, though, I think coordinating is fine for events or family pictures, but pattern matching is going a little too far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7105 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:06:43 +0000 HabesBabe 7105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I would wear matchy-matchy outfits is for a tongue-in-cheek Christmas photo, like Will Arnett and Amy Poehler: <a href="http://www.papermag.com/blogs/gap1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.papermag.com/blogs/gap1.jpg</a></p> <p>I don't even like it when twins are dressed in the same outfit. The thrifty side of me just thinks, "Two identical people can share the same wardrobe!" I would be pissed to spend money on two of the same outfit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7097 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:38:12 +0000 tequiero21 7097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with andrea. i love the general color scheme, but not the exact same thing, especially if it's something specific like christmas pjs! lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7089 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:56:49 +0000 Andrea 7089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do 100% matching, like the same pattern, but the same general color scheme is good for things like family photos. Another time when we did the same color scheme was for the LO's 1st bday party. It was subtle and I think only one of our guests actually noticed anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7088 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:55:05 +0000 mrbee 7088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of Asian couples wear matching outfits!</p> <p><a href="http://observers.france24.com/content/20100416-commitment-clothes-matching-outfits-couples-east-asia" rel="nofollow">http://observers.france24.com/content/20100416-commitment-clothes-matching-outfits-couples-east-asia</a></p> <p>I visited my parents in the Philippines and went to a place where there were a lot of newlyweds, and there were tons of couples in matching outfits. It definitely helped me keep track of who was together with whom! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7085 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:52:07 +0000 Red 7085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I would be one of those moms but I love dressing my LO in outfits that kinda match my clothes either in color, print, or style. I try not to do it too often though cause then it becomes a bit obnoxious, lol. My husband joins in the fun only for family photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matching-outfits-for-families#post-7083 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:45:37 +0000 Jenna 7083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just going through a Hannah Andersson catalog that I got in the mail last night (really cute clothes, BTW) and on the very back cover was a family dressed in completely matching Christmas pajamas. There was even an outfit for the dog! I laughed about it, but I realize that there must be families who buy that stuff.</p> <p>Would you ever dress your family in completely coordinating outfits? </p>
