Help a sista out!

We are getting our pictures done soon. We'll definitely get some beach pictures but I'm hoping to also go to Carmel Mission. What should we wear? Here are my ideas for our outfits. Please leave me some comments and tell me what you think we should wear! Most of you probably know that I am very indecisive. I need some help! I think I want to wear olive green accented by some jewel tones. I'll probably wear my dark-wash botcut jeans from VS Pink. I tried to find you a picture of those online but they don't have a picture of that exact wash.

Top #1: Here's a top at Target that I like {BTW, I've seen this top in Target and it's greener than this picture, more like the color of the shirt below}:



Top #2: Another Target find:


Top #3: Cute! But it doesn't go with my color scheme {Besides, if I wore this shirt, people would probably get our Christmas cards and think I'm pregnant. I'd have to save it for a maternity shirt.}:


Top #4: Me likey!


Top #5: HOW FREAKING CUTE! Although I couldn't wear it with jeans. I'd have to wear it with some khakis or something: American Eagle:



Ok, now I need a jacket or sweater or something... I think I want a khaki or brown safari type jacket. Anybody have any ideas? I just don't know where to look. For this, I am calling on all of you to help me find something!

Accessories:

Gloriousness! But not really the style I have in mind for these pictures. Maybe to go with my Elizabeth Swann dress:


Ok, so I can't find any pictures of what I have in mind. But basically, I want a chunky necklace of colorful beads in jewel tones and browns. Possibly earings to match. I'm going to look around at Target and Claires and see if I can find anything there. I wouldn't mind a scarf and/or beanie to wear too. I have a whole skein of brown wool yarn. Perhaps I'll make myself a set really fast. I have at least five days. I can make a scarf with big needles so that it'll come out holey.

Now on to Brett's outfit.

I think I want him in a dark, cranberry red and/or brown.

Shirt #1: This could work if I accented it with a colored undershirt. I REALLY like this style. They also have it in tan. (But, good grief, $40 on CLEARANCE? What do they think I am? Made of money?) Do you think the gray or tan would look better with a cranberry undershirt?


Top #2: Here's a jacket version of that style. How rugged would Brett look in this? Too bad it's 99 bizzles:


Top #3: Now this is what I'm talking about. Perfect color and style for my hunk!But, it's like $50. I might have to splurge. It's just too good. {EDIT: I have since shown this sweater to B and he has pooh-poohed it. He says it's gay. This makes me unhappy. Someday he'll be my dressable Ken-doll. He'll see!}


I don't know what pants I would want him to wear. He has some chocolate brown, flat-front Dockers-style pants. But I don't think those would look that great with a red sweater. I think he needs to wear jeans, too. I need to find him some cool, distressed jeans. {What about some olive green cargo pants? I must find some.}

Found some! But what's goin' on with the bottom parts of the legs? Are they just a tad tapered? I think so. I'm not a fan. And would I be able to iron out those weird factory-made wrinkles in them?:



Oh my goodness! I cannot forget about shoes! Oh dear, what shall I wear?

Shoes #1: I've been checking these out for a while:


Shoes #2: Or, how about these cuties?:


Shoes for Brett:

Shoes #1: Love these. Once again, the rugged thing. These would look great on him, but OUCH - $90!:


So, where do all of you shop for your husbands? Does anybody have any ideas for either of our outfits? Please, Help A Sista Out.
