For tights, are you opposed to white? These are our favorite tights. Actually, looking at the color options, what about getting the grey heather and then having your husband in white button down and grey heather sweater over? I can sometimes convince my husband to wear a sweater vest... not sure if your husband would be down: </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EQQJQG/ref=twister_B008EQQHTK" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EQQJQG/ref=twister_B008EQQHTK</a></p> <p>I'm now wondering about a dress for you with boots. At 4 months postpartum I felt a lot more comfortable in dresses than pants. I think these dresses are good contenders (I own both and can attest to them looking good postpartum!) --</p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-dresses/special-occasion-dresses/j0210-nav/womens-navy-meadow-lily-jersey-dress" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-dresses/special-occasion-dresses/j0210-nav/womens-navy-meadow-lily-jersey-dress</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-dresses/day-dresses/w0143-nav/womens-azalea-bud-mollie-dress" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-dresses/day-dresses/w0143-nav/womens-azalea-bud-mollie-dress</a><br /> (this is my favorite dress on Earth)</p> <p>Not sure your size but here is the dress in a top that would go with your gray pants. It's seriously SO flattering: </p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-tops-t-shirts/3_4-sleeved-tops/w0010/womens-mollie-top" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-tops-t-shirts/3_4-sleeved-tops/w0010/womens-mollie-top</a></p> <p>ETA: It is never a mistake to hoard Boden! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847305 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 17:37:02 +0000 Lonsk 2847305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got one pair of tights in the mail and as expected not quite the right colour </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847304 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 17:36:22 +0000 Lonsk 2847304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: thank you! I was a little unsure about the dresses. Now just hoping DD1 will wear it 😬 she’s becoming very opinionated about clothes</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I’m horrible with scarves so I’m hoping I can pull it off. We don’t have Target 😞 (Canada) but I’m hoping I can find some similar shoes.<br /> I’m having such a hard time finding clothes to fit me</p> <p>@LBee: I was waiting for you to reply (thank you!) after seeing the links you posted on another thread. I love those Boden dresses and actually trying to talk myself out of hoarding them for next fall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847288 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 15:37:27 +0000 LBee 2847288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think someone needs to wear a pattern. Here are some tops you could pair with your gray pants. </p> <p><a href="https://www.loft.com/geo-floral-shirttail-blouse/470888?skuId=25996920&#038;defaultColor=2222&#038;catid=catl000011" rel="nofollow">https://www.loft.com/geo-floral-shirttail-blouse/470888?skuId=25996920&#038;defaultColor=2222&#038;catid=catl000011</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.loft.com/blossom-wrap-top/483906?skuId=25834185&#038;defaultColor=0473&#038;catid=catl000011" rel="nofollow">https://www.loft.com/blossom-wrap-top/483906?skuId=25834185&#038;defaultColor=0473&#038;catid=catl000011</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.loft.com/floral-dot-peplum-blouse/477580?skuId=25833782&#038;defaultColor=0473&#038;catid=catl000011" rel="nofollow">https://www.loft.com/floral-dot-peplum-blouse/477580?skuId=25833782&#038;defaultColor=0473&#038;catid=catl000011</a></p> <p>I'd maybe consider having one of your daughter's wearing white tights. I'd then have DH wear a white button down with a sweater over it - either tan or gray. Maybe tan to add some more interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847285 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 15:31:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2847285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about something like this for you, with that scarf, but with slim black pants and maybe black flats? <a href="https://pin.it/j33mus7rvfseic" rel="nofollow">https://pin.it/j33mus7rvfseic</a> </p> [attach=2307/18/pfmp01.297x502.6C92AF4E-B614-4921-92E3-C08D565552FA.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847282 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 15:24:54 +0000 SupernovaJ 2847282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very light grey would be great for the parents, maybe a shade darker for dad. Or even black. It sounds a little boring but I think it'll make your girls pop and will add an element of sophistication to the photo. You can accessorize with some statement jewelry, husband can add a pop of color with a coordinating tie or scarf. Love the dresses for your LOs btw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847274 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 15:16:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2847274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lonsk: I’m terrible at styling scarves but I think the color of that one works really well with both dresses. For the girls I think similar dark shoes for both of them would be good (Target has a these cute little maryjanes in a subtly sparkly black that I just bought my kids- they love them and they are $10). I think lighter tights would be better with the dark dress, but not totally necessary. Pink to match the bow would be super cute. Gray with the little ones dress would be good. </p> <p>I also think a darker purple sweater would be nice for you, like a bluer shade of deep purple. But depends what you can find that you like the fit! </p> <p>For DH what about the purple shirt he has with a medium gray sweater? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847226 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:51:48 +0000 Lonsk 2847226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm plum might be pretty. I’m finding so many sweaters look washed out this year. I have a plum maternity dress that at this point I’d probably still fit 😂</p> <p>DH has a shirt with a very light purple tiny check print and also one with a pinkish stripe think they’d work? I’m worried with the backdrop being primarily white</p> <p>Also would charcoal tights be too dark with DD1 dress? The mauve and dusty rose ones I ordered are for DD2 but now know for sure the dusty rose is wrong colour (although likely match DD1 ribbon)</p> <p>Thanks for your help ladies!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847181 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:37:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2847181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So adorable! For adults I'd go lighter to counter the darker colors on your girls. So ivory/light gray&gt; Or I think a soft gray plaid would be cute too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847180 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:37:47 +0000 Ajsmommy 2847180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably wear your dark grey pants with a plum tunic and that scarf</p> <p>and I'd put DH in a simple charcoal v neck sweater... </p> [attach=4974/18/pfmbez.400x600.plt.jpg] [attach=4974/18/pfmbf0.472x600.pltm.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-for-christmas-photos#post-2847170 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:19:10 +0000 Lonsk 2847170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long time lurker coming out of hiding because I always see great advice and shopping links from you ladies! Please help! I’m stressing and not enjoying shopping or dressing my 4 month post partum self for Christmas photos.</p> <p>The back ground is an indoor white Christmas theme (tree, fireplace etc) </p> <p>I really wanted to use the dress my friend brought DD1 in Korea during the Olympics. It has some subtle sparkles and is a dark charcoal. I bought this other one for DD2 but the colour isn’t quite what I expected but think can make it work? I’m waiting on tights (mauve, dusty rose and charcoal cable knits) to arrive but now thinking the colour won’t match after seeing it in person<br /> I have mauve bows for the girls. What do DH and I wear?<br /> Links very appreciated<br /> DH is a clothes snob, I’m not sure if he’ll wear plaid...<br /> ETA I have dark grey pants as well. I’ve been looking at sweaters but finding them very boxy</p> <p>[attach=9348/18/pfmajz.450x600.6F206D22-58A7-4192-B9C3-23B3AE2A5E87.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=9348/18/pfmak0.337x600.C667BF38-928A-491F-9E31-A830D34335CF.png]</p> <p>[attach=9348/18/pfmak3.337x600.F72EAA17-EBDB-4BC1-8474-4EDA36B93633.png]</p> <p>[attach=9348/18/pfmak5.337x600.7EE190BB-8147-432B-9838-747CC8968567.png] </p>
