1 Dress, 3 Different Ways (Thanks, Target!)

I brought back an old Easter tradition.  

Kids wearing matching Easter dresses. My mom used to match my sister and I all the time. You know your mother did this to you, too. As much as we hated it when we were kids, I have to admit it is kind of cute.

Sometimes we'd even color-coordinate with my brother. Like this:
Easter 1989. I was 6, my brother was 4, and sister was 2. Yes, we had a powder blue Cadillac DeVille. Be jealous. I know sis and I aren't exactly matching, but this was the cutest Easter picture I could find of the 3 of us. We're definitely color-coordinated!


So, this is where Target Tuesday comes into play.
Go visit Tara! She's adorbs and from Houston! Holla!!

I was at Target on Saturday and I noticed some new dresses in stock. Ooooooh! Dresses!! I picked one up for myself and then I thought, "Well, wouldn't this be a fun Easter present for mom and sis? We could ALL match!!!"

Now, what exactly is wrong about doing this in your twenties (and not-fifties in my mom's case)? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Essentially, on Easter, we wore one dress 3 different ways. And it was adorable, if I don't say so myself.
Find it here, here, and here.



Here's our classy, updated version of matching Easter dresses.
Me, Mom, Sis
Mom styled hers with a periwinkle shrug cardi and nude heels. I styled mine with a chambray button-up and sandals. Sis styled hers with a brown short-sleeved cropped cardi and brown wedges (can't see them, sorry).
And just because this is funny. Yes, that is Dexter's butt hopping over my shoulder. And Greg was sucking at taking photos so the other one we just got silly.
Dexter didn't wear a dress (like that one time we shall not mention) for Easter but he deserves a spot in this post!

Which is your favorite dress? I won't be offended, I promise. I picked them all out and I'd wear all of them! You can't say Dexter - he is not a dress, although fabulously adorable.

1) I love the denim tied into a bolero!
2) That dress is awesome on all three of you.
3) Those pictures (both of childhood and present) are great. In fact, I think I have a picture of me wearing almost the same exact dress your little sister wore, but I was standing in front of a Astrovan I think)

Savanah said...

That is so cute! I like how you put the denim with yours!

Jill said...

How adorable! What a cute idea. My mom probably would never wear a dress that my sister and I would wear lol. I think I like your mom's dress the best, but I'd wear all of them! So bright and springy :) Cute kitty too!

Jessica Renee said...

Gorgeous ladies!! What a cute idea! I would've personally worn your look but they're all beautiful! :D

Amy said...

My favourite dress is your sisters, those are my favourite colours. Tear. I wish we had Target :( big sad face.

Katie said...

After your Moms Facebook status I was really curious how you pulled it off. They all look very English to me for some reason lol.

Stephanie the PW said...

AWWW man! Cute idea! Love this photos - And no, I'm not sucking up, but I would def. go with the color combo you're wearing - it would work best with my lighter freckly complexion :)

Goodness ! that is so cute! I got that dress the other day too {tried it on in 2 colors, the one you were wearing and then the pink/orange one} and I ended up with the more pink/orange one. I love the sweetheart neckline. It looked fab with that chambray top over it, great idea!!!

ps. new follower stopping in from TT :)

Your mom, sis and you are just plain ADORABLE! And so so pretty! I love the twist on the dresses :) I'd wear any of them!

This is the best idea EVER! I wish my sisters would do this with me, but we have totally different styles :)

Elena (Running in Heels After Child) said...

Oh my...ya'll are so cute! My mom was in town and we both put on the same color accidentally almost every day.

As for matching, my 4 year old wants to match with me all the time. We don't have a lot that is the same but if I wear my striped dress she has to put her striped dress on.

best,

elena

Jen said...

Cutest idea ever. You ladies are adorable. I don't have a favorite dress because I like them ALL, but I really do like the colors in your mom's dress.

Lynnette said...

Such a cute idea! My mom used to dress me and my sister the same too except one would have pink and the other blue. haha
I like the way your dress was styled the best but you guys all look great!

steph c said...

JoJo said...

You guys look gorgeous! Great genes!

I'm such a fan of all of those girls in matching dresses. Isn't there a play with a smiliar name - 5 girls and a dress... something.

shopgirl said...

How cool to have your whole family doing a post together! You all look beautiful. I'm a little partial to the red floral dress.

This reminds me how much I miss Target!
