We like to match!

I have always wanted to dress up in matching colors with Raymond when we used to be sweethearts in college. Was not so successful back then. Okay, maybe we matched 3 times max. (But frankly, my hubby now seems to enjoy dressing up in matching colors too. He takes a peek at our church clothes on Sunday and makes sure his tie, at least, matches our outfits. Thanks, hon!) Raymond and Jakob used to have a matching shirt that they wore for Father's Day years ago when he was still the only child.

Did not get a chance to do with a lot when I had Beata coz I got pregnant months after she was born. We'll I can say that I have rebounded and got back into my "passion" of dressing up my children (and sometimes me and my hubby would tag along) in coordinating/matching colors. It takes patience trying to get similar colors in many, many visits to the stores. But I can say that I am very proud of our matching clothes so far (considering that I did not get to spend a lot because I buy most of them from thrift stores or second-hand shops).

Here's a picture of the recent "match" (ha, sounds like boxing! very timely for the Olympic Games going on). It was for our Watermelon Sunday in church. I was thinking of red and black but...all their red and black are mostly for Winter/Christmas which will be too hot to wear that day. So I decided with the Summery colors of red, white and blue. (Jethro had orange, blue and khaki...that'll will do. It does not look obvious, right?)

Jakob does not seem to mind, he actually gets excited to match shirts with his brother even in regular play clothes. Well, gotta keep doing it until they are old enough to feel awkward in dressing up in matching outfits (hopefully that won't be too soon). Until then, I have to keep an eye on those matching outfits from the store. :D
