You may recall the various #twinning posts with my daughter here, here, and here. Well this past spring I gave birth to another daughter and the idea of coordinating a baby, toddler, and mommy outfits may send me over the edge (in a good way) for this upcoming holiday season. I now have coordinated ensembles for both Thanksgiving & Christmas this year. Needless to say I am SUPER pysched, getting literal chills just thinking about the pics.
For these three dresses I simply typed "burgundy florals" into the search at OldNavy.com and found these beauties. The great thing about the search feature at Old Navy, Gap, etc. is the results pull from across collections so you can simultaneous browse baby, toddler, women, and men to help you find coordinated pieces for the whole family. True, florals are more of a spring/summer motif, but the burgundy base and rich colors make them appropriate for fall.
Like the floral dress above, this also features a wrap silhouette, which is a must-have for this breastfeeding momma. Also, pockets!
The toddler/baby garments share a buffalo plaid print, but unlike the Thanksgiving looks above, I pivoted away from a matching pattern in the mommy dress. Instead I coordinated via the color pallet of red and black. Buffalo checks are a very strong pattern and three outfits full of plaid would be visually overwhelming, especially in pictures.
Of course with small children there are no guarantees that any of these dresses will see the light of day, let alone a camera phone. Between toddler tantrums, baby spit-up, and just plain exhaustion Thanksgiving and Christmas may just find us in clothes. But God-willing, turkey-wings-crossed, and by the blessing-of-baby-Jesus we may just pull off these coordinated family* holiday outfits!

First up, Thanksgiving!
