Twin outfits from day dot....

Ok....so first blog ever!! Not that exciting for you my lovely little readers, but a milestone for me none-the-less considering my only foray into modern media has, until recently, been Hotmail and Facebook.  The idea of modern technology, and putting fingertip to keypad or touch screen, has been somewhat lost on me.  I only joined twitter the other week to follow my son's new infant school tweets and within a matter of days I have now created my first blog....(*trumpet fanfare*)....about my trendy twins!

So, am mother to two gorgeous fraternal 18-month old twin girls, as well as a 4 year old monkey of a son.  In the past 18 months, being mum from 1 to 3 kids has been a massive learning curve.  Along with all the typical nappies, spills, tears and dramas, there has been lots of laughter, cuddles, kisses and precious moments. But this blog isn't about all that....

My little daughters are the new (crowned by me) trendy twins on the block.  Amairah and Serena's outfits of choice over the past 18 months and in the future will be here for your perusal.  It's not all identical outfits - as is so common and the norm amongst twin fashion - to me it's about creating the coordinating accents that set each outfit off....well...in laymans terms, it's about making them look cute and cool...and most importantly on a budget....dressing twins is not an inexpensive task I tell you...

So from here on out I will share with you outfits, ideas and costs that I can recall....the only exception to the cost may be what I class as a cost-effective trip to the Big Apple for some expert retailing experience and bargain buys....enjoy their first few months of trendsetting...
