BR: help me pick some outfits for miss A :)
ok, so weather permitting (we're supposed to get isolated thunderstorms this weekend) we are taking miss A to the arboretum on Sunday for her 6 month professional photo shoot! she needs to have 2 outfits, 1 for our family pics and then 1 for pics of just her.
problem is i can't decide what to dress her in 
that's where you come in! she has a bunch of different tops that i could pair with these jeans
or these denim overalls
or I could put her in pink overalls, one of these
these are the short sleeved tops i have that she could wear
(the shirt on the bottom left is supposed to be paired w/the hot pink overalls in the 3rd photo above but could obviously be worn w/something else too)
and it will probably be cool enough for her to wear a long sleeved top for a little bit if i wanted to put here in one of these
aside from the denim, i have pants in every shade of pink 
that i did not take pics of and these pants as well
or, i could put her in one of these dresses (they all have matching bloomers even if not in the pic)
this plum dress she wore for her 3 month pics so i am leaning towards not using it
ok, so give me your top picks for the 2 outfits that she should wear 
thanks for helping an indecisive mommy out!!
Re: BR: help me pick some outfits for miss A :)
okay, i don't think i'll be any help at all, but i'm dying from baby clothes cuteness overload. those are adorable!!!
okay...hrm. i love the long-sleeved dress with the plum wrap-like details. i like the flower shirt with the hot pink overalls. i also like the little jeans, or the brown and pink polka dot pants, but i don't know what i'd pair them with. for the jeans, maybe the 100% adorable shirt, or the hot pink adorable shirt, or the cupcake shirt. no idea about the brown and pink pants, but i love them. okay, so yeah, definitely no help at all...i'm leaning towards the more vibrant colors. what does the arboretum look like these days? lots of flowers in bloom? in which case maybe a pastel is better, to stand out more? i have no idea!
as a side note, people laughed at me when i moved to seattle and was shocked that the arboretum here doesn't have flowers. only...trees. but the dallas arboretum [and botanical gardens] is full of flowers!
with the shirt on the bottom left:
and i LOVE this:
HTH!You have so many cute clothes for Miss A! Makes me jealous because one of the things I miss out when having a little boy instead of a little girl is all the cute dresses!
I think the denim overalls are super cute (although she has too many cute shirts that could all go with it, so I can't decide on a shirt to go with it =P). Other than that, my favorites are the kimino-style purple dress, the pink Polo dress, and the light blue sleeveless dress. I think that if the arboretum is blooming with flowers (which are probably more shades of red/pink/purple/yellow/etc) then the blue will stand out nicely in the pictures, so out of all the dresses, that would be my top pick
Can't wait to see the pics--I bet they'll turn out great!!
Great minds think alike....I was thinking I liked the exact same things, Christine!
Ooooh so many choices!
I think I'd go with the jeans plus the ruffled flowered top in the bottom right of the third shirt photo (the one below the shirt that says "naturally cute" on it). Then I'd probably go with a dress as well, so she'd have some pics in pants and some in a dress - I'm torn between the aqua print dress and the ADORABLE purple kimono style one...I think I'm leaning toward the kimono one though!
I like this idea, too.
