Family photo outfits

[imbatman]

These are the outfits I have planned for DD and myself. Our pictures aren't until October, so I have some time to look. What would you recommend for H? I was thinking tan sweater, but was afraid he'd blend in with DD too much. Excuse the messy bed and disheveled dog, it was early for him, ha.

What about a navy sweater and khakis?

Yup, that's what I'd do. Tan on the bottom, navy on top.

Sorry, I should mention - his style is very, um...t-shirt and jeans. I'm lucky to get him in a sweater. He will not wear khakis, hardly even to church. So it has to be jeans. Should I keep DD out of the tan dress then? I didn't think about it washing her out, she's pretty fair with blonde hair.

If he really has to wear jeans, I would see if he'd wear a charcoal gray sweater with them. Maybe one that has the half zip, more casual look?

[badtzmaru22]

Ohh maybe it's my phone, but that dress looks light gray to me.

[imbatman]

No, dress is taupe/tan with orange and navy. My skirt is navy, too.

I'd just put him in dark wash jeans and a white shirt. Add a tan or navy sweater/jacket if it's cold.

Dark jeans can look nice in pics so I wouldn't worry about that at all.

I like your outfit, I would probably shy away from tan for your DD.

I think I would put him in burgundy, navy or charcoal.

The dress is cute.

Can you find a plaid shirt that has both the navy and orange in it, and then wear with jeans?

I think your h should wear a white button down and nice jeans. I would remove the plain shirt from your outfit. The navy plaid, sweater, and navy skirt seem too much like a school uniform.

Thanks. I'm keeping the dress, love it too much! I've been looking everywhere for a plaid shirt like that, having a hard time so far, but I'll keep looking!

Would a chambray shirt under the sweater be better? I have some scarring on my chest, so I have to wear something under it.

Yes, I think so. The sweater and button down may look bulky for photos though.

Maybe you could do a navy shirt dress like this and have your husband in jeans and an orange sweater.

I'm thinking about ordering this, it's navy and tan. And then like you said, H in orange sweater and jeans.

oh I really like that shirtdress. Your H could also wear the orange sweater with white button down to be a little more dressy. Can't wait to see how they turn out.
