Would this look ok with leggings?

[readyin07]

DH and I are going to be in holiday pictures this year (I think...we usually rotate every other year kids vs whole family).  I usually do dressier pictures, but I really don't want to spend a fortune on an outfit for me and the dresses I like are $$.

I was thinking this top might look ok with leggings for a more casual picture? How would you style it to make it look more feminine? I am sorry I do not know how to PIP.

If I had money to spend, I would get this dress www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-dresses/4130075289987.jsp#/

I also liked the idea of this with tights, black booties and a dressy belt b/c it is more neutral and would give me more options for my kids clothes. The dress is affordable but I don't have booties so then I am going to end up spending more money   www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/too-clothes-to-call-dress

I love the lace dress. The Modcloth dress is cute, but what about this one instead? www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/compliments-abound-dress. It's similar to the red lace one.

I think the shirt is too casual. But if that's the look you guys are going for, it'll be fine with black boots.

I saw that Modcloth dress and also this one www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/sweet-staple-dress-in-merlot.

But I REALLY love the anthro one and anything else will be a sad substitute lol! The plaid one is SUPER different for me! I have never in my life worn plaid, like seriously ever so I am trying to think outside my comfort zone...and be cheap!

[calle28]

I like that one too. I know it's hard when you have your mind set on something, nothing else is good enough. They are good substitutes though.

I just bought that flannel shirt today (in gray/white) and planned to wear it with my leggings and boots but haven't tried it on yet. I think it will look good for casual pics but the dresses from modcloth are super cute too!

[nonsensetomfoolery]

I think the flannel would look fine with leggings as long as it's long enough. I would probably do the blue buffalo instead of the red and black- the red and black is so trendy and popular that I think it would look dated quickly. I think if you did that shirt with a cute necklace on the outside of the collar, it would look great in pics.

I love that ON shirt. It's in my cart. I was going to order it tonight after work.

I would wear it with black skinny jeans, junky gold jewelry, and some black leather booties.

I think tamb has it in the white/navy. She posted in the pandce.proboards.com/thread/380892/awhile-bought thread.

I'm curious about the opinions on the flannel shirt. Bc I wondered if it was appropriate with leggings too

I have it and I plan to wear it with leggings. It covers my butt perfectly. I'm 5'8.

[readyin07]

Helpful! I am 5'5". I think I am going to try it. DH can wear a black shirt he already has so..cheaper lol!

I have that ON flannel in grey/white and wear it with black leggings (5'4 and it covers my bum just fine!)and grey booties. I also bought this $14.99 scarf from Target to wear with it so it amps it up a bit:

Something to think about!

I would style the flannel shirt with a vest if you have one. Something like this (could substitute the herringbone for a plain black quilted vest also)



Or something like this (I like the necklace)


If not leggings, I'd do black skinny jeans and either heels/booties or boots. You could even belt the vest with a skinny black belt if you wanted.

I'd style it similar to this...a little longer of a skirt, and a nice sparkley necklace rather than baubles, keep the booties.
