Matching Outfits

The ad on my blog for children's clothing got me thinking about matching outfits. When I was a kid my mom sometimes dressed me in matching clothes--with either herself, my little sister, or all three of us would match. I have to say I think it's ok for kids, but I'm not a fan of the mother-daughter scenario. Also, I do think that kids should have some independence/originality with regards to clothing choice (this coming from an extremely controlling gal who will probably try to pick out her future children's outfits everyday). Anyway, thoughts?
