Photographs---help!
I just booked a mini session with a favorite photographer of mine for October 21st. It is just 20 minutes in downtown Madison WI. She does this once a year and it is super cheap. I am really excited because we get to fit our first anniversary pics and Christmas card pics into one 20 minute session. I have this romantic idea of getting anniversary pictures done every year. We will see how long that lasts.
Anyway, the only question I have is to what we should wear. It will be cold here by then, so obviously a summer dress is out of the question. and, there won't be time to change at all. So, what clothes would look good on a christmas card, but also good in a frame all year round as a 1st anniversary portrait? I want them to go together, but not be super matchy, matchy. Anyone have any personal experience, or ideas?

We had our engagement photos on October 23, 2010 (wow does that feel like forever ago!). We're in Pittsburgh... it ended up being 75 degrees and I wore all heavy fall things.
I wore a tank top underneath a long sleeve shirt with a sweater and then changed into another long sleeve shirt and a fall vest. Because I had the tank top on, I just whipped the shirt off quickly and the other shirt on. I swapped heels for casual boots.
Is there a place downtown you can use the restroom (Starbucks?) to change? ETA: I just realized you said you don't have TIME to change... not that there is no PLACE to change!
Here are a couple inspiration links that my photographer pinned on Pinterest. They are family-oriented, but you might see something you like:
