With back to school on the brain, I am inspired by uniforms! Old school plaid can add great texture and fun to your photo outfits. For today’s Trendy Tuesday I selected some easy to wear, easy to find outfits for your teenies to tweenies. All of these outfits can be found in your local malls or on-line at Crazy8, The Children’s Place, Gymboree and Aeropostale.
These outfits make a great photo and I think they will all be worn again and again without complaints – a huge bonus! A Children’s Place has some adorable boy outfits that have added a plaid layering button down or a simple pair of plaid shorts to some solid colored tops and bottoms. Pair these outfits with sister’s outfits from Gymboree. Gymboree, like The Children’s Place, does a great job coordinating all the pieces of an outfit together so you don’t even need to think. Buy the skirt, top, jacket and all the accessories are available to match. Knee socks are so fun on a little girl, if she will wear them, by all means add them to the photo, especially with pink clogs – how cute.
For your older kids, try Crazy 8 and Aeropostale for your shopping. Okay, we know they really want the sweatpants at these stores *grin*, but try to get them to wear jeans or a skirt for the session. Add plaid into your outfit selections by layering it over their favorite solid or graphic tees. Coordinate plaids with younger siblings for a cohesive look.
Lots of stores have these looks available for any budget. Even adding one new piece of plaid clothing to your child’s existing wardrobe will add a new look that is picture worthy. Good luck to all my little and big models going back to school. Come by and show us your outfits and your growing smiles with a LifeXpressions Session.
I know it seems like the Holiday season is so far away, but when you are thinking photo Holiday cards, “the” time is upon us. Get ready to book your session soon to make sure your cards go out before 2012!
