What should we wear?

I get asked this question a lot, and it’s tough to decide so I’ve decided to address this topic.

What’s most important is to wear what makes you happy and comfortable. But, if you’re looking for pointers and places to shop, then read on.

1. It isn’t necessary to wear matching outfits. Each person in your family is an individual and you should dress like the unique person you are. You should coordinate though. Try to stick with complimentary or similar color tones.
2. Have fun with your outfit choices! Don’t be limited by the traditional choices. I love color and funky patterns like polka dots and stripes. Don’t get me wrong…there is nothing wrong with traditional and timeless, but let your personality shine through in your outfit choices.
3. I love texture! Can’t go wrong with anything textured and layered.
4. The style of clothing should match. If the little ones are going to be in dresses (which I think is adorable!) and jackets, then mom and dad should be in a dress/skirt and jacket, so the photo has cohesive look.

These are a few of my favorite stores for holiday outfits. Feel free to comment and let me know your faves.
