There are a few things I'm on the fence about and haven't taken off the tags yet.<br /><br />I guess it's a good thing I'm jumping on the make-up bandwagon now since I'm only 29. =) That way when I hit 30 and I'm washed out it won't be a hard transition... hehe.<br /><br />Amanda, thanks for the picture tips. We have all our clothes. I'll be doing a blue top (this one or one closer to royal blue that I just picked up from Banana Republic), Matt has a light blue plaid button up shirt, Walter has a blue polo shirt with a yellow stripe and Dean has a yellow shirt with a nautical print. I didn't want matchy matchy clothes but stuff that looked good next to each other. That's why I ruled out the pink skirt as much as I liked it. Everyone else had something in common.Celia Marie (W.)

Sorry for the third comment of the day. But ...OK. Sorry for the third comment of the day. But I thought I would pass on a few things I have learned about my style of picking clothes for family pictures, mostly from looking at lots of other peoples pictures. <br /><br />The first thing that I have found that I don't like is solid color tops that all match. It has no texture, and the heads look like they are floating. <br /><br />The thing that I do like is a common thread in the color scheme. Brown, or pick two or three colors to run throughout the outfits, but tie it in more with neutral clothes and colored accessories. <br /><br />The other thing that I love is layers. That might be hard to do in August in TX, but the best pics I have seen have every person in a denim jacket or puffer vest, or accessory type scarfs, sweater shrugs, textured necklaces, etc. Anyway, if you can't do layers, you can add texture by adding in plaid shirts on your boys and not makin it match too much. Anyway, if you look at GAP adds of families that's another good place to get ideas.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666401587067899752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23556887.post-16686559755684184702010-07-17T13:11:07.826-05:002010-07-17T13:11:07.826-05:00I didn't vote for my fav, but I think it's...I didn't vote for my fav, but I think it's the turquoise/brown one.

And as far as makeup, if there is anything I learned from trek, teenagers can get away with wearing no makeup, but sorry, those who are 30+ just look washed out without a little help. BTW, I feel like I have had a little more sense of what to buy after living in a neighborhood where people dress nicely and wear accessories EVERY day. I still like to keep it simple and wear comfy clothes and no accessories on the days I know I will be staying home and handling kids and cleaning all day, but it does help to see it every day...now affording a whole new wardrobe of trendy outfits with matching accessories is a different story.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666401587067899752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23556887.post-49540272418725895002010-07-16T18:15:01.933-05:002010-07-16T18:15:01.933-05:00How fun!

I love to shop and I think I can pick some good things out, it's just parting with my beloved money that gets me more often than not. :) Which is probably why most of the shirts I get complimented on are hand-me-downs from Angela.mad white womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754131206961165891noreply@blogger.com
