Mommy and Me Dressing - a Little goes a Long Way

January 09, 2018

At ADRIAN EAST, we're typically not big proponents of "Mommy and Me" dressing. While others may find the whole Toddlewood craze, where little tykes are dressed up in replicas of gowns worn at the various award shows, to be adorable, we think it's all a bit troubling.

Frankly, we find it more than a little disconcerting and a touch inappropriate to see toddlers dressed up in gowns that debuted on mature women on the red carpet.

Is there really a need to rush children into looks that are far too mature for their tender years?

We do recognize however, the joy in little boy's and girl's faces when they can "twin" with their Moms and Dads. The tricky part has always been to find looks that complement each other, without forcing Mom's into looks that are too juvenile for them and looks too mature for their little ones.

We think we've found some great options in these bathing suit and cover up combos!
