Another what to wear for pictures thread
I had pretty much decided NOT to do JellyBean's first-ever preschool pictures for financial reasons, especially since they were being taken on a day when she doesn't attend preschool. But then they emailed the newsletter this weekend stating that even the kids who don't attend on Wednesday need to be there because they will be taking class pictures, too. And they have class pictures from the last six years up on the wall, and she talks about them ALL.THE.TIME, so now we have a picture date on Wednesday.
Of course, yesterday JellyBean tells me that her black dress shoes are too tight (after telling me just Friday that she wanted to wear them all weekend even if we didn't go anywhere.) They ARE a size smaller than her sneakers. The note home from the photographer was that shoes WOULD be seen in the pictures.
I have a pretty purplish/maroonish velvety dress picked out for her, which should look great with their coppery backdrop (all the girls in the pictures on the website are wearing similar colors.) But now I'm totally stressed about the shoes.
So, do I:
1) Have her wear dress + white tights, but no shoes?
2) Have her wear dress + white tights, with white shoes that still fit?
3) Have her wear the original outfit with the black shoes, just for a few minutes for the picture?
4) Pick a more casual outfit and have her wear her sneakers?
Poll coming!
