Sister Match
by Ashley Weeks Cart
One of the most enjoyable aspects of parenting two sisters is, for the time being (when they can’t really have opinions otherwise), dressing them in matchy matchy outfits. I tend not to do identical replicas of one another’s ensembles, but variations on a theme. Kimmy and I have memories of our mother doing the very same thing throughout our childhoods. It’s a Mama’s Prerogative.
This Easter, Kimmy and I totally played the nostalgia card, and sent Momar not so subtle hints that we would like her to consider returning to this pastime of purchasing matching dresses for her almost 30 and 28 year old daughters.
For whatever reason, she humored our requests and surprised us on Easter weekend with this Ace & Jig dress that Kimmy and I were both coveting. Hard.
The girls wore matching Sailor Rose dresses generously gifted from Ghillie, James’ mom, for Easter. While the dresses are from two different brands, they both reference Confetti in their pattern descriptions.
It was fate.
So we had to document the matchy matchy confetti-explosion. Let’s hope the grandmothers think this tradition is worth upholding for all future holiday celebrations! We don’t mind in the least.
