I don't know why but I'm not a huge fan of putting siblings in matching outfits. Sometimes I think it looks adorable on other people's kids but I still don't want to do that with my girls and I have no good reason for it.
I think it's adorable for holidays or special occasions. I certainly plan on coordinating outfits for my girls while they're young, because after they get older, they will want nothing of it. :-)
I like dressing my boys the same sometimes Charlie actually asks for it usually! It is going to be tough to do now that he is moving out of toddler sizes.
Oh, and it is really handy when you are out in busy public places (aka play museum, somewhere where they aren't contained in a stroller). I find it so much easier to find them in a quick scan when I am only looking for one shirt

Someone bought C & E matching Bills sweatshirts and I was totally guilty of making them wear them on the same day with the same color pants. I laughed myself silly at them and thought it was cute but haven't done it since. And I also put them in coordinating pj's (see below!) but since then they wore them seperately.
I think when babes are little it's cute to put them in coordinating outfits but at this point I'm lucky they leave the house for daycare with outfits that match on themselves, let alone each other.

I think it is cute sometimes, but my cousin's kids are 8 and 10 and they are always dressed in matching outfits ...yikes!
I like them and I know I will do it but after a certain age, it's too much. Also coordinating is one thing (for like holiday photos) but matching is another.
I'm glad not too many people said they don't like it, cuz my girls are totally rocking matching outfits today for the two b-day parties we are going to..:)

My boys will totally be wearing matching outfits until they're a few years old at the least!!! I will even search for coordinating girl outfits for L!!! I won't match my oldest, except for holidays they'll all coordinate! It's fun til they start having their own likes, then we'll let them pick!

I like it. My mom always had me and my sister match especailly for holidays. Alot of times we had the same outfit just different colors.

My boys have a few of the same shirts. I figure I might as well do it now before they get too big.
