What to Wear Wednesday


     I am happy to present another edition of "What to Wear Wednesday" with you!  Just like last week, the majority of these looks can be found at oldnavy.com and are all affordable options for outfitting the whole family this winter season.  Many people opt to wear black for their portrait session as it is both slimming and simple, but here is a way to incorporate blacks in your session without using the old standby black shirt and jeans.  
     This color palette consists of black, grey, and white and will appeal to even those that are black wearing purists (guilty as charged!) I have always loved black and literally have to stop myself from filling my closets with black shirt, after black shirt, after black shirt.  If you are like me, then these looks are a must have.

Why this works?

1. Black, white, and grey are a perfect color palette for both color and black and white portraiture.
2. These looks are flattering for mom, dad, and children.
3. These outfits incorporate trendy layering while still keeping the looks streamlined and clean enough for family pictures.
4. And of course, they all coordinate well together and have been kept within the same tonal range.
5. This color palette will go well with almost any type of background or setting your photographer chooses, they will love you for it!

Do not be afraid to implement scarfs and pops of color using shoes that add just a little extra.  These show both your personality and add just enough visual interest to not distract from the real stars of your photos...your family!
