Gymbo veterans: I have never seen this line IRL, so please help me match the pants I bought from a loopie with some of the tops I have seen on eBay. Which looks best?

These are the pants:

Here are the three top options:

Does this sweater remotely go with the pants? If so, which top would you put with it? I am trying to buy cardigans with everything I am getting for next year since I am not sure whether it will fit her in spring, summer or fall.

I haven't seen all the options IRL either, but the bottom shirt gets my vote. The top one is would work nicely, too, I think, but I'm not sure I love the print. I might IRL, though! The middle one seems like too much red.

As for the cardigan-- I love it, and I *think* it goes. Hard to tell, though. Light blue and red can be tricky...sometimes it works, sometimes not. Personally, I'd get the cardi anyway. It may well work, and even if it doesn't, the colors are basic enough that it'll go with plenty of other things. But I have to admit that I have a thing about cardigans. It's a sickness, really.

I know what you mean about cardigans. I have tons for myself, and for fall/winter/spring they are pretty much the only tops I wear! I love having them for Ava too, as it gives me more options :)

I love Indian Summer, DD has a good bit of it. She has the pants and the red top, but I've never worn them together. It's just too much red. Maybe if you had a sweater over top with the red shirt underneath it would work. She doesn't have the first shirt, but I can tell you it's going to be too busy. Those pants look best with a plain lighter colored top. I would go with the 3rd top. I've worn the pants with a basic blue onesie from the Strawberry Patch line and it looked nice. I think the cardigan would go, but definitely go with a solid shirt underneath.

FYI, the sweater looks like it has some green in the florals (I've never seen it IRL). The pants only have different shades of blue. The tops are cream colored and not bright white.

Robyn, I think IS might be my favorite Gymbo line of them all. I didn't care for it at first but I gradually got tons of it and loved it so much!

We had everything you show except the pants. :) I agree that the first shirt would be too busy but that was one of my favorite shirts. The print is *so* cute IRL and looks gorgeous under the cardie. Match that with a pair of jeans and it would be adorable. The second shirt is really cute on, as well. It is poplin where the other two are knit. It is the most summery of the ones you listed since the poplin is very lightweight. I think that it might actually make a cute outfit with the pants but might be too much red. The third shirt was my least favorite of the shirts we got from IS but I never considered it with those pants and I think it might be quite cute. It's probably your best bet. The bottom ruffle is actually three rows of ruffles, each made of a different floral fabric (top: mini floral on white, middle: red floral/bandanna, bottom: large floral on white...the same as the top shirt you pictured).

And you absolutely MUST get that cardie!! It is TDF! It is my favorite Gymbo cardie ever and looked so stinkin' cute on Amy Grace. I love, love, love it! Get it even if you skip on the rest! :)

I almost bought the last t-shirt that you posted at Gymbo today. Someone had returned it, and it was in with the clearance stuff. It is really sweet. I think that would look great with the pants. I love the cardigan as well!

I bought the pants and second shirt (the one that is the same color as the pants) for a friend at a consignment sale earlier this year for $5. It is so cute on my friend's DD. I think the third shirt would look nie with the pants too, although I haven't seen it IRL.
