Stripes or plaid? Help!

Matthew and I have a couple’s photo session this weekend, and for weeks now I’ve been feverishly hunting for the perfect mustard or gold dress.  96.4% of Matthew’s clothing is blue, so I wanted something that would really contrast nicely with a shirt he already has. 

In a happy little turn of fate on Wednesday night (and thanks to the ninja-like awesomeness of my best friend, who spotted it first), I found that perfect golden dress (here—it’s 50% off today! WTH!) and snatched it right up.  That baby had my name all over it—there were only two left, one of which happened to be my size! When does that ever happen unless God himself intended for you to have that dress?  Never, that’s when.

But now I have a dilemma.  I posed this question to Twitter and Instagram yesterday as well, but the response so far has been split down the middle.  Should Matthew wear the plaid or the stripes?!  The setting will be natural (vs. urban), and while I’m leaning towards the plaid, I adore the stripes as well.  Maybe I’ll make him change half through the session, but still, I’m curious to hear your opinions.  What’ll it be, my friends? The stripes or the plaid?

Happy Friday!
