Reason? It's cute!! And, I can because I am a twin mama ;-)<br />championm2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14867731446440889107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785403612794750488.post-42192673553705416652013-07-17T08:00:16.741-05:002013-07-17T08:00:16.741-05:00I actually went in with a different mindset...I wa...I actually went in with a different mindset...I wanted to dress themt he same bc I thought it was cute, but figured as soon as they could talk they would ask to dress differently and that would be fine with me. So, I usually buy the same outfit in two different colors, but all of the sudden, they FREAK OUT whenever they don't get to wear the exact same thing. It is kiling me because I feel like the different color thing is so helpful for other people who can't really tell them apart (not to mention that there aren't many things that I have two of the exact same thing of). Funny how their sweet little minds work :)Life with Gemeloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964197867900668605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785403612794750488.post-23341870427938370882013-07-16T14:30:30.573-05:002013-07-16T14:30:30.573-05:00They are so cute!

And because I can keep track of them easier at the park, zoo, etc. And they seem to get a kick out of wearing the same shirt! <br /><br />Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461374188982286659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785403612794750488.post-72601961102791827782013-07-16T10:27:31.227-05:002013-07-16T10:27:31.227-05:00I have boys, so that's a little different beca...I have boys, so that's a little different because they don't usually get commented on their clothes like girls do. Mine are fraternal as well & I used to dress them in the same or matching or coordinating all of the time - for ease, for cuteness, because that's what people gave us. <br /><br />They just turned 3 last week & have been picking out their own clothes for some time now because they have a BIG opinion on what they wear. They rarely pick matching anything anymore - and I'm fine with that because they are so different and each an individual, so unless we're going to a specific function & I have them dress up - they do their own thing & I'm OK with that.<br /><br />I can see both sides for sure.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738901734321587436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785403612794750488.post-38810365138133713562013-07-15T06:27:53.323-05:002013-07-15T06:27:53.323-05:00It didn't dawn on me for a long time, but I fi...It didn't dawn on me for a long time, but I finally realized that's very much why I dress our girls similarly. I know it sounds so silly, but I don't want one to be perceived as being dressed "cuter" than the other. :)<br /><br />If at all possible, I buy coordinating outfits for the girls.<br /><br />And like you, I give them the choice of what they want to wear. Sometimes they want to match, sometimes not.<br /><br />But deep inside, when one picks a dress and the other picks shorts...I cringe. ;)<br /><br />The other reason I'd cite is that coordinating / matching outfits makes doing laundry easier. At a quick glance, I can tell how many clean outfits I have to pull from, and when I need to do some laundry. If they wore things just willy-nilly, I think that would be a lot harder to gauge.<br /><br />As Olusola said, though, I've started trying not to dress them exactly the same since they started school. I was OK with it after a few months, but especially at first, I didn't want to encourage their teachers, and especially their classmates, to view them as a "unit".<br /><br />First world problems, for sure!

I've also started trying to dress them differently for just about the same reasons you have though. Their personalities and preferences are so different that I don't want people lumping them together and treating them the same because they are dressed alike. I guess this is more critical for me because they are in daycare and I want their caregivers to see and treat them as individualsyettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704396199916097903noreply@blogger.com
