How to Work the Matchy-Matchy Mini-Me Fashion Trend | RazorTV Video Interview Feature

A while back RazorTV, an online television service under Singapore Press Holdings {SPH}, contacted me to talk about my experience of dressing matchy-matchy with Lil Pumpkin. Apparently it's quite the "fashion trend" for mums and kids to go matchy-matchy nowadays :P Think Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba, Madonna etc.

However, for us, it was never about being trendy. I love fashion but dressing in matching or coordinated outfits with Lil Pumpkin since she was a baby started because I found it real cute to have my own little mini-me haha. I'm bonding with her and relishing in the moment while she actually likes to be like me, and want to wear the same things that I do. This may change when she grows up.

In case you're wondering, the boy also likes it too and sometimes, will dress matchy-matchy with Lil Pumpkin too hahaha

It used to be a little difficult finding matchy-matchy stuff for Lil Pumpkin locally and we had to buy online or get them when we traveled overseas to places like Korea or Japan, where it seemed to be more popular there.

However, there seems to be more brick-and-mortar shops in Singapore now that "specialise" in matchy-matchy outfits for mother and child. One of them is Glitter Glam {that's already a very popular store for working ladies} and its child apparel spin-off, Mary Had A Little Lamb, which started just last year.

I met Glitter Glam's owner, Mary, while filming for RazorTV and love how she embodies Glitter Glam's vision and mission. As a working mother herself {with a cutie daughter!}, she creates clothes with strong character, excellent fit and great comfort not just for successful career women, but also for mummies who, let's face it, have one of the toughest jobs in the world, and deserve to celebrate themselves in style. Remember, there's still Me in Motherhood!

Mary Had A Little Lamb is basically a mini-sized version of Glitter Glam collection... because what's good enough for mummy, is good enough for our little girls, right? :)

Both these brands have a wide selection of dresses and tunics that's perfect for casual chic day outings, to more formal night events. Nothing too gaudy, sexy or childish for mothers and daughters, which is kind of how I like to work the matchy-matchy mini-me fashion heh.

In 2014, Mary Had A Little Lamb also released their new boy collections, so mums with sons need not fret!! :P

The 3 outfits I'm featuring in this post are what I'd wear to the playground, afternoon teas or picnics in the park with Lil Pumpkin. Or even just on my own to work. One thing that really drew me to their clothes was how good the materials were! Thick yet soft and strong enough for any tumble and play. Even after a few washes, it holds its shape very well and barely needs any ironing... which is good for lazy busy me hehe.

And oh yes, I adore the interesting prints {hello monograms & geometric patterns!} and cuts too.

This was the interview I did with RazorTV. Some of the tips I mentioned are,

• to find something that's comfortable for the both of you and to suit both of your styles
• it doesn't have to be full-on 100% matching but a matchy-matchy outfit will still work
• look out for similar colours, accessories, patterns, cuts, trims etc.
• check out brands with adult and kids collections for matching outfits as they tend to have both versions for the same design
• indulge in the fun and experience! You're bound to get "looks" but don't feel embarrassed!

One thing's for sure though.. she's not just my mini-me, but the best part of me :)

What do you think about dressing matchy-matchy with your kids? Yay or Nay?
