By Mother’s Day is right around the corner, meaning the celebration of all things motherhood are on the minds of many. For moms with little ones, these first few Mother’s Days are especially precious, as the newness of being a mom is inspiring and uplifting.
While your young child is still into it, dress alike for the day. Before long, your tween or teen will roll their eyes at the mere thought of it!
Mommy and me outfits make Mother’s Day even more fun, with matching looks to take your experience and photos up a notch. Your child will feel special dressed up like mom, making the day a double delight. These memories will mean so much over the years as you reflect on their childhood and all you have done together as a family.
Below you will find some mommy and me outfit ideas for Mother’s Day. You do not have to go overboard to make an impact, and the level of creativity you put in is all up to you. Your family and friends will be impressed at the effort, and you’ll show off your mommy pride with your “mini me” by your side, looking the same. Have fun with it, and use these suggestions below to come up with your own versions.
Flower Power
With the scent of spring in the air and fresh flowers blooming everywhere, nature’s beauty is bountiful. Take a cue from Mother Nature and incorporate a floral theme into your matching Mother’s Day outfits. You can go for a pretty floral print, flowers in your hair, even a festive lei around your neck. Add extra touches with floral bows and accessories, and some peach lipstick and pastel nail polish to top things off. Spritz on some light floral fragrance and you’re ready to celebrate your special day. A colorful wrist corsage would be a Mother’s Day extra for you and your cutie.
Pink Ladies
Think of pink as your go-to spring hue this season. Dress in whatever shade suits you, be it a pale pink or a pop of hot pink neon. Get into the look with a head-to-toe ensemble, right down to your sandals or slides. Your little one can carry a cute pink pocketbook or a fun fanny pack. A pink silk handkerchief tied around your neck is a stylish add-on for the fashion-forward family. Go out for strawberry milkshakes to stick with the pink theme. Any excuse for a tempting treat…right?
Bling Thing
Show the world how you sparkle by doing a mommy and me “bling” blowout. Dress in stunning shades of gold and silver, adorned with flashy sequins and rhinestones, and lots of metal accessories. A pair of cool shades will add to your extravagance, as would your best stilettos and designer purse. Strut your stuff as you shine like stars. You may not own any of the big time “bling” like the A-list celebs, but your look will be just as awesome. Take plenty of pics and post them on Instagram.
PJs All Day
If you are not going out for Mother’s Day, keep things super casual by staying in your pajamas all day. Slip on your comfiest pair of fuzzy slippers and put your hair up in messy buns. Even if you decide to go out to grab a bite, you can always do the drive-thru and stay comfortable. Veg out on the couch in your coordinated PJs, snuggle up, and save your other outfits for another day. With all the running around you do on a daily basis, a day of rest and relaxation is required.
Denim Duo
Your most flattering pair of worn-in jeans are always a go-to, and your little one surely has a pair they adore too. Along with a basic button-down jean shirt, jean jacket, and a pair of canvas sneakers, your done-up-in-denim look will turn heads. The low-key look is great for anyone, and you can enjoy an outdoor BBQ or picnic in the park. You can also sport jean shorts or a mini skirt if it is too warm for long pants.
Outfit Inspiration
For some outfit inspiration or wardrobe refresh, head over to BundleUp, the only marketplace for buying and selling baby and toddler clothes in bundles! If you have any Mommy and me outfits from previous years, sell them as a bundle for some extra cash.
