More than half the clothes in this post belong to Libbi

This morning our family had an unofficial fashion show. Next week we are having our family pictures and I am trying to prepare.

Unfortunately (as Isaac says), finding cute clothes that match can be difficult.

Fortunately, I have my sister's closets to raid.

Unfortunately, I have no style.

Fortunately, you do.

So, my question is... does any of this work?????

I am doing two locations. One, outside in an orchard. I know I want E's gold dress and sweater here, with us all matching her somehow. Then, we are doing an inside shoot... because it's Winter and I'm crazy to try outside. This would be less fancy shmancy clothes. I like M's pink sweater set, but the purple one from Cousin A is too little for E. I like the brown sweater outfit of A on E, but I don't have a matching sweater for M and her black skirt (even I know the red does not work).

So, what do you think?

Please, solve my problems. I would appreciate it.











Which dress should M wear with E's gold one? The top one is also gold, but it is actually Cousin A's this year, and it doesn't quite fit. Justin doesn't think the blue works, but it's actually warm.... the other dress makes it all seem so monochromatic.
Bleh.

Can you tell we just got out of the tubby?

Jamie,

You definately need the taffeta skirt. I think you should try gold sweater on meg for inside and I always loved the blue coat dress - for outside I think it is perfect. (you need to roll the sleeves).

will you be in the snow outside?
i would use color to "pop" in the snow. does that make sense? do you need to look through my girls closets? we have more dresses than we know what to do with...
i am serious (about looking if you want to) although i am not sure we have any LITTLE sizes anymore...
let me know~
