Help me with my outfit for maternity/family pics

[kristie]

We are doing them Sunday and I have this sweater, which matches addy's sweater. I didn't buy them together for that purpose. But I am worried it will be too matchy matchy. I was thinking I would put us both in jeans and boots. Her jeggings and uggs, and I can't decide if I will go skinny jean or boot cut. But then I am wondering if I should go in a completely different direction, like sweater dress and tights for me. Ugh, I hate these kinds of things. I really do. Are they terrible? Should I start over?

i think they coordinate nicely and aren't too matchy. i'd try on your outfit with both pant options and see which you look the hottest in. decide how to dress addy from there. i don't think jeans/boots on you both is too much, unless you also wear uggs.

[kristie]

Definitely no uggs for me. I still haven't decided if I am going to let DH in the pics. LMAO, I am trying to avoid the cheesiness factor which is going to be hard. I was like "no kissing pictures, no hearts, no bare stomachs! Just regular pictures where I happen to be pregnant."

I really like these both, and they aren't too matchy.

yeah, i ended up having my husband take my "maternity pictures" for that very reason.  we want to do family pictures with O, so i didn't want to do a whole family shoot thing, but i did want some where i looked pregnant and cute since i'm NEVER EVER going to be pregnant again.  ha.

[kristie]

Yeah, it is a package deal. These now and then newborn/sibling/family later. I felt bad because I never did newborn pics with addy, so I figured some pregnant shots with her, and then her pics with her sister would make me feel less guilt.

Wtf is wrong with matchy matchy? Not a damn thing! Anyway you and addy could wear burlap dacks and it would still be the cutest fucking card ever.

Ps cute tights with snowflakes or something!

I wish I had take the time to do that.

And now I'm a little scared to have pics taken as a family because I have extra weight. Before, at least I had a belly excuse!

And I agree- coordinated but not matchy matchy

[AHappierHour]

I think it will look great. Not matchy matchy at all.

[kristie]

I also have this outfit for addy which just kills me with cuteness, but she wore it for school pics and it doesn't go with my sweater, but I could find something else to wear.

[angelaa73]

Ohhhh that is cute. Why wouldn't they go together ? Looks fab to me!

[kristie]

I guess I am weird and feel like we have to either be in the gray/black neutrals or brown neutrals. It is so hard for me to mix without feeling like everything is wrong in the world. Lol

[angelaa73]

Oh. So you ARE a matchy matcher. I like both, flip a coin!

[tdk2]

I think the bird dress goes well.

Does the sweater in op work w dress or look too short?

And she's so darn cute

I love that maternity sweater. They go together nicely.

Lol, I guess I am. You will have to let me know where you get your Christmas pajamas this year.

I haven't tried it with the pink sweater, it should work.
