I'm wearing this sweater

with dark skinny jeans and boots.

DH is wearing this sweater

over this shirt

with khaki pants.

DS1 is wearing this sweater

http://m.oldnavy.gap.com/product.html?dn=op242281072&dv=0&shopid=1&pdn=oc5259

with khakis or jeans, and DS2 is wearing this sweater

http://m.oldnavy.gap.com/product.html?dn=op876248002&dv=1&shopid=1&pdn=oc45887

with khakis.

Yes, we're a walking Old Navy ad. ;)

So what should DD wear? Ideally I'd like her in yellow, but that yellow on my sweater and DS2's sweater is difficult to match...it's more of a mustard. I'd originally ordered this dress

http://m.oldnavy.gap.com/product.html?dn=op876355002&dv=0&shopid=1&pdn=oc6269

but it was all wrong. So...navy or cream sweater dress? Any chance of me finding the perfect yellow dress out there somewhere? I even thought about ordering another sweater like mine and having a dress made for her out of it, but I wasn't sure how difficult that would be or if that would be too matchy. Any thoughts on that idea?

DD wears a size 12 months.

Just had lunch with a birthday girl whose family had portraits done this morning. She was wearing this cream Gap sweater dress (http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=6436&vid=1&pid=848646) with an etsy flower in the coordinating color tacked onto it. Very cute.
ETA: must post photo when it is finished :)

target has cream sweater dresses as well. I like the idea of tacking on a matching pin in the mustard color, plus a hairbow :)

What about a navy sweater dress and yellow tights?

I am LOVING the idea of the cream sweater dress with a coordinating pin! That is pure genius, and I wish I would have thought of it. Would have made my life much easier when doing pictures. I am adding this to my list of "things to remember for next time".

I love this idea. There was a similar sweater dress at the Gap outlet (was there on Sunday) for a lower price.

If you could find a navy sweater dress and coordinate with a yellow hair accessory, that would look great too without being too matchy.
