S picked up these dresses for the girls' holiday photos. What the heck do we wear to coordinate? I do have some maroon chinos, but what color top? And what should S wear?? Does S have a flannel shirt that has both blue and maroon in it? Preferably with also cream. Then you wear a cream sweater. You and S wear the same pants, either jeans or khaki or grey chinos. Everyone wears same color shoes, or everyone wears boots (ok if different colors if all same style I.e.boots). Girls would also look good with cream knit tights. You could try to add something cute like a necklace, bracelet, or hair clip that has either blue or maroon in it. Ooh, I was just thinking of a plaid shirt for S. I'm going to check his closet tomorrow, or plan to get him one. We have similar colored jeans, so I think that may be our best bet. Thanks!!

Our pictures are the 14th too. Kids are set, but I need to figure out H and I. And figure out how to get the stain off the skirt of the dress W is wearing (my Christmas dress from baby!). I have no sweet clue how to do that lol

What have you tried? Use your resources.

It's not super dark, but definitely noticeable. Haven't tried anything yet ^^;

Haven't tried anything yet ^^; I would try cold water first, stain stick or shout second, and blue dawn third. Then report back. Also, light blue or dark blue? ETA: upon further research of acetate as a fabric, I would gently rub a non-bleach liquid detergent gently on the inside of the fabric, then rinse from the outside. Def stick with cool or room temperature water to avoid Messing up the dye, and lay flat to dry.

I just ordered a few more bottles of sparkle syrup from Runamok. This is my new go-to holiday gift for families, it is so fun and also consumable which is my favorite kind of gift to give.

Update: S had the good idea to look online to see if they offered it in a Tall. They do! So we ordered a Large Tall, and I'll return the other tomorrow. Now to find something for me to wear!

tj I love that last one. Target had a bunch of options, too. I need to just go try them on. I do have a crab sweater, but it's more fitted and I feel like it makes my arms look big. Is that weird? Maybe I just want an excuse to buy a new one lol. And chunky sweaters seem to be in style this year

I’m not very fashion forward, so I just assumed “crab” was a legit style of sweater until I saw the follow up. 😅

I've been laughing at rugger 's crab sweater but felt bad that her feelings might be hurt because it's obv not a good choice for family photos and she thought it might be a good option. Hours later, I realized I'm an idiot and it was a legendary rugger autocorrect mistake. *sharing this in case anyone else also thought this. Of course no one else but me thought this because it's SO OBVIOUS to me now 🤦♀️. I slept in a recliner in M's room last night, my brain is not at it's best today.

You're very sweet for taking my feelings into consideration ☺️ But yes, total auto-correct and I just went with it

Apparently acetate is a magical fabric lol. If you were asking about the color of the fabric it's white with red polka dots lol. The bodice is red velvet. A bit 80s a bit timeless XD I'm just going to accessorize with a white velvet bow and the black sparkly mary janes I just got and hopefully bring it up to the 2020s

First outfit put together. F has a red sweater that he's going to probably wear with jeans or black pants, I have to go through his drawers. I have a sparkly blue sweater that I'm going to wear with black slacks, and hubby has a blue button down that he'll wear with jeans or black pants, depending on what I find for F
