When Yesenia, who delights her followers by filling her Instagram with snaps of her posing with pint-sized fashionista, cannot buy twin outfits, she makes them herself.

Speaking about her expensive habit, she said: 'I don't even know how much I've spent over the years. 

'It must be in the thousands, but I've made about 20 of Kiki's outfits myself, which has made things cheaper.' 

Sometimes Misael, one, joins in with the dressing-up, with Yesenia explaining that they will never wear the same outfit twice.

'We all have quite big wardrobes,' she admitted. 'If we've already worn an outfit and posted a picture on Instagram, we probably won't wear it much again.

Yesenia, seen wearing leopard print dresses and red accessories with daughter Monique, admits they clean out their closets every 6 months and give their clothes to charity

'We clean out our closets every six months or so and donate old clothes to charity, or give them to the children's cousins. Everyone fights over Kiki's clothes as they're so nice.' 

Remembering her long-standing interest in fashion and beauty, Yesenia was delighted when she discovered she was expecting a little girl with her husband, who she does not wish to name.

When Kiki was around one, the proud mum began to colour co-ordinate their outfits, but soon progressed to matching their clothes - a trend known as 'twinning'.

'We do a lot of shopping online, or in regular high street stores like Target and Forever 21. I've been very lucky to be able to find good matches,' said Yesenia.

Yessenia reveals that she makes sure her daughter's outfits are age appropriate- seen wearing matching leather jackets, nude loafers and burgundy tops

'If I can't find it, I'll make it. I get material from a local craft store then get to work,' she added. 'I'm a completely self-taught dressmaker, and now it only takes about a day to make an outfit.'

Speaking about how she picks their ensembles, she added: 'I would never put Kiki in anything age inappropriate, but luckily we have similar styles anyway. We're both very girly, although she is edgier.'

'I try to match with my son, too – although more with colours than exact pieces.' 

And now, with her husband- who she does not wish to name, acting as their official photographer, the twinning has become a family affair, with him regularly snapping their pictures for her Instagram.

Yesenia posts pictures of her and Kiki's twin wardrobes on Instagram, and the pair ensure their backdrop is equally eye-catching

She continued: 'With Instagram, all the pictures are in one place, so it'll be lovely for Kiki to look back when she's older and see how cute we were, and how alike we dressed. 

'As she grows up, we match a little less. Now we do it around three or four times a week, but she loves our look. 

'She's started to show an interest in making clothes too. She always asks if she can help, and I'd love her to take up the hobby, but it's important she finishes her schooling too.'
