STYLING AND TEXT BY Beverly Parisi PHOTOGRAPHY BY Lisa Shires
Those of us with sisters may have tortured memories of being dressed alike. Even worse were the Laura Ashley-style mother-daughter outfits creating
a multi generational parade of matchy matchy females in flouncy florals. We don’t have anything against matching, but prefer to be rational about it.
The next few pages contain some spring picks from local stores and consignment shops that we think make good matches while retaining their singular appeal.
