HELP!

OK.  Church directory photos on Saturday.

I have Joey’s and my outfits picked out (blue gray and purple, respectively), and I chose the dress I want Analie to wear. But I am feeling like it needs a bit of POW! to act as a color accent.

 The dress is just a little bit bland, but since the tulle is delicate whatever I choose to go with it I want to also feel light and not bulky.  Also there’s the added pressure of Analie looking back in 15 years and being all, MOM WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! when she looks at this picture.

Thoughts?  HELP??

At first I thought maybe some fun baby shoes?  Although her feet are (still) so tiny that shoes get all disproportionate and tend to make her look like a clown.  Ballet slippers might work, though.

Would a flower headband be too much even with the flower on the shoulder?

And if I do a flower (or shoes) what color should I do???  Green?  Purple?  ORANGE?!

Help a sister out, Internet.

Leggings

Today Ana and I joined the junior and senior high youth groups as they sorted food at a food bank for distribution later this week.  Analie was setting trends in her ridiculous pumpkin orange tunic and bright purple leggings.  When we colorblock in this house, we go all out.  (Well, at least she does.  50% of my clothes are black and I like it that way, thank you.)

I handed Analie to Joey so I could run an errand for him, and he glanced down at Analie’s purple leg and said, “Woah.  She’s really gaining weight – these pants are getting TIGHT!”

I looked at him with raised eyebrows and my You Are Not Serious look.

“They’re leggings.” I said.

He returned my look with his I Have No Idea What That Is, I Don’t Have Any Sisters look.

“They’re supposed to be skin tight,” I clarified.

“Oh.” he said.

Now he knows for next year.
