Tips for dressing your family


It's hard enough to get a family dressed and out the door, much less looking your best! So here's some tips to help you decide what everyone should wear.


  1. Coordinate. Start by picking a color palette. Consider what colors suit the season. Mix warm & cool colors. Throw in some neutrals. Have a variety of light, medium and dark tones. No two people should look the same, avoid being matchy-matchy.
  2. Layers & Textures. Adding layers like vests, jackets, tights will create dimension and interest. Mix up little prints, big prints, floral, stripes, plaid. Throw in textures like lace or corduroy, and of course some solids.
  3. Accessories. Hats and headbands for girls is always adorable. Make a statement with jewelry, belts, suspenders, knee socks. Don't forget about the shoes (unless you go with the barefoot look). Sandals, boots, slides will look better than tennis shoes.
  4. Browse my Client Closet to borrow items for moms & kids (link in your guide). I keep these pieces in my studio for your use.


It's very helpful to lay all the clothes out and take a photo. Feel free to send me photos to review.
