As a mother of two daughters, I fell in love with the fashion trend of mommy and me outfits. It may be corny to some but I love letting them dress up like me and taking pictures. Not only for the style but for the memories as well. 

I mean, I need something to embarrass them on their wedding days lol. 

Here are some of my favorite websites for mommy and me fashion attire. I also included links to the outfit shown here in this post.

One of my most recent favorites has been a website called Shein. I usually shop on this site for ready to wear and trendy pieces for each season.

Are Mommy And Me Matching Outfits Still In Style?

Some can say it’s corny while others like myself find it to be absolutely adorable. I mean how can you go wrong with dressing your child in a cute outfit and you both match? Sounds pretty sweet to me.

 Now with all things, there is a time and a place however this is one of the many bonding moments you can share with your child and for that alone it’s totally worth it. 

Personally, I believe if your child is of age, start to allow them to develop their own sense of style. I do this by allowing my daughter to pick out what dresses they like. I then match their selections. 

Hi Queens! Let’s get these crowns into tip top shape. Over the past few days I have been searching all over for ways to remove rust, and dirt from my own pageant crown to no avail.

How To Properly Store Your Crown

The number one way to store your pageant crown is in an airtight space. This can be a crown box like shown in the video above or a glass display. One of my pageant sisters has all of her crowns in a glass display and it is not only beautiful but it’s a great way to keep them tarnish free. 

I like to keep my crown in hat boxes and acrylic clear cases. They serve as a cute carrying case when I’m using them during my reign as well as protective storage cases once I’ve passed down my title to the next queen. 

The goal is to keep them from direct sunlight as well as from dust and dirt.

Does heel height matter?

In order for you to find the best pageant heel for you, you must take into consideration the height of the actual heel. With all things pageant related comfort should take precedence over style. As you are well aware you will be living in these shoes so they must be as comfortable as possible.

Here are a few tips to help you pick out the perfect pageant heel for you.

1. Make sure your pageant heels have a nice size platform in the front. This will provide an extra level of cushion while on stage.
2. The skinnier the heel the harder it is to balance on stage. Remember this rule of thumb when you’re purchasing your pageant shoes.
3. Strappy heeled shoes will give you more stability in the ankles as you walk, consider this style option if you have a hard time balancing or pain in the lower back.
4. Try to find an exact match to your skin tone. If you will be wearing a spray tan take this into consideration.
5. Do not wait until pageant day to wear your new shoes. Make sure that they are fully broken in so as to not cause excessive blisters or pain on pageant day.

No matter what style shoe you go with be sure that you feel like the queen you are. Remember practice makes perfect and the more you walk in your heels the better you will feel on stage.
