Do these outfits look okay together?

[cjeanette]

I am trying to come up with outfits for our family photos. I can't decide what I think. I will put H in a chocolate sweater and jeans.

[iheartbanjos]

I like all the colors together, but I don't like too many patterns in family photos. Your outfit and your H's outfit sound good. Will the guitar be visible under DH's blazer? Do you have any solid color leggings for your DD? Those would be my only suggested changes.

Love everything but your daughter's outfit. It has too much going on. I would go with simpler shoes or solid tights. Not patterned tights and furry boots.

Very little, if any. Depends on how he moves.

[cjeanette]

Oh and she won't wear both hair bows. She picked them. I will make her narrow it down..lol.

I don't like the leggings with the dress and boots. I would go with a solid, dark color for the leggings.

[zombiemuse]

No patterns or graphic tees for family photos. They are just too busy. Other than that I love the colors together.

[cjeanette]

If I put her in brown shoes will the leggings still be too much. She only wants patterned leggings right now. And two mismatched hair bows. She marches to her own loud drum.

love the colors together... but agree- too much with your DD's outfit - would do solid tights at least, and probably not those boots b/c i feel like they'll stick out too much and take away from your faces, which is what the focus should be, etc.

I think the leggings are too much for the pictures. I would be fine with the outfit any other time, but for pictures I don't think it will look good.

I am going to go against the grain. I think it's great as-is. And if your daughter is only into patterned tights and multiple hair bows, let her wear them. Remembering her crazy fashion sense will matter more than pure aesthetics in 20 years when she's all grown up.

I think it all goes together well. I like the patterned tights/leggings, she's a kid, they look cute in fun colored stuff. I think the only thing I would change are her boots.

I like it.

Agree. It's cute. I don't like the guitar t-shirt though; I think it will detract too much from the portrait.

I love it!

[Myrrhine]

I like it all, especially your son's outfit.

[countthestars]

I like all of it.

[dr.girlfriend]

Cute! Where's your actual shirt, though...isn't that just a jacket and scarf?

I am scandalous like that

I will just put a brown or white tee/cami under it.

[theintended]

Jacket, scarf, no shirt, no pants. Sexay!

well those are 4" heels...

[hannamaren]

I like it the way it is. Very good coordinating

[sessy]

I like everything as is too. My daughter has very specific tastes too and I mostly just go with it.

[Kore]

Super cute! I love that she picked her outfit

[Deleted]

I love it! I would snap a selfie of yourself in the jacket/scarf to see if the combination adds too much bulk. usually for photographs I find that I can do one or the other, but if I have both on I can look bigger than I am. maybe this is just me though so disregard if you know this isn't an issue.

You and E would me BFFs. She asked if she could wear rockstar eyeshadow with it. Which is code for making herself look like a cross between a harlet and a battered woman.

I like it, and I like the fact that your daughter picked the outfit. I think it will be special to look back at the photos and remember when she loved patterned tights. They show her personality. They aren't hideous. They are cute.

This. This is who she is- let her express it a little! I think you can balance it out w/ what the rest of the family wears.

I like it. Your daughter's boots seem to stand out a little bit, like maybe they are too bright of a purple, but if that turns out to be the cause the photographer should be able to correct that.

Too bright of a purple? Never! #wildcat ;D
