Fall is one of my favorite seasons especially for fashion! I love to dress my girls and I in similar outfits and find that many moms of girls do the same!
Most times I don’t like to completely match my girls, so I try to match outfits by staying in the same color family or similar items.
It’s actually easier this way than trying to find pieces in adults and baby sizes that are exactly the same.

Mommy and Baby Fall Outfits
For me, a long cardigan, bodysuit and over the knee boots are a go-to for fall. For my little one, since she’s on the move all the time now, I put her in things that she can move around in easily.
Dresses are easy for diaper changes and thick tights keep her little legs warm. I’m all about teddy bear coats for her! She just looks so darn cute and they go with everything.
This is the instagram vs real life photos. LOL! I could not get her to sit with me without trying to wriggle away so she was quite unhappy with me!

Mommy and Me Fall Activity outfits
Fall is the best time for some fun activities. Here’s some outfit ideas for pumpkin patches and even just playing in the leaves!
When matching with your kids, stick with a color scheme or pattern (like how I did florals here for me and my oldest). The baby is often the easiest as you can dress her in a pop of color that is the same color scheme as what you are wearing.
TIPS ON TAKING MOMMY AND ME PICTURES
It’s fun to get dressed up but even more fun to have photos to capture those memories! Here’s a few tips on how to decide what to wear for your mommy and me pictures.
- Match the background – You probably have decided where you want to take the photos so find colors that will blend well with the background.
- Start with mom’s outfit – it’s easiest to start with your outfit because you know what you will be comfortable in and what will look good on you. Once you’ve decided your outfit, then you can figure out what colors and patterns you can put your. kids in.
- Stick with a color scheme – find colors that work well together (cool tones, warm tones, etc…) and you can use that as a basis of what colors you and your kids should wear.
- Find a common piece for everyone to wear – it doesn’t have to be an exact match but I find that if everyone is wearing a similar jacket or even coordinating accessories like sunglasses, it makes for a fun matching outfit even if not everything else in the outfits is matching.
As I mentioned, I always stay within the same color family, but since Edie and I were already in bright red, I had Layla in the black with the hint of red so we all still matched without having everyone look super matchy matchy.
Where to buy Mommy and Me outfits
Places that sell both women’s clothing and kids clothing together are often my first stops. Usually they use the same fabrics or colors in that season so that it’s easy to find pieces that will work for everyone.
H&M has a great kids section and I often buy my girls matching sister outfits. Their women’s section also has great trendy items as well as basics and if you are pregnant, they have some great maternity pieces as well!
Check out Old Navy’s Family Matching section for things from dresses to active wear. You can even get stuff for Dad here too!
Rachel Parcell is carried at Nordstrom and almost every season she does the most darling mommy and me dresses!
A really easy but fun route is to find matching tee shirts with fun sayings. LittleMiaBella has so many cute tee shirts that you can pair with jeans or skirts. They also have cute loungewear sets and matching mommy and me dresses!
You can also find cute mommy and me pajamas and lounge sets at Children’s Place and Hanna Andersson.
Mommy and Me Fall Outfits Ideas
There are just so many fun ideas for mommy and me outfits. Here are some ideas that I’ve done with me and my girls!
I purposely matched us to the sunflowers and luckily was able to find dresses in this pretty yellow.
We had to wear our rainboots because it was so muddy but these dresses would be cute with ankle booties too!
Matching big sister/little sister holiday dresses
You can’t go wrong with matching leather jackets! Such a fun outfit pairing with dresses and sneakers. And so comfy too!
Cute outerwear is one of my favorite things about fall! You can keep the rest of the outfit black and just add a fun jacket or sweater.
I love putting Layla in outfits that look like what I wear but in a kid friendly style. I love pairing sweaters with pleated skirt so found this cute outfit for Layla. She’s comfy in it and can still play at recess.
My version of Layla’s outfit. Pleated skirts are so great for fall and I love these midi lengths that work for ladies like me on the shorter side. They end up being maxi skirts, but no hemming required!
