Wedding What should I wear for our epics tomorrow?? (pics)

[newbie124]

I''m having the hardest time trying to figure out what to wear for our e-pics tomorrow! Even though I have a closet full of clothes, why does it feel like I have nothing to wear??

Here are some possible outfits I put together. What do you guys think?

Option 1: Sweater dress....but I need to figure out what I can do to jazz it up...scarf? jewelry? other??

Option 2: Scoop neck sweater shirt w/ straight jeans

Option 3: Ruffle jacket w/ brown shirt and straight jeans

Option 5: Navy beaded sweater w/ skinny jeans

Option 5 w/ jacket

I can probably choose to wear up to 2 outfits, so wondering if I should do one w/ jeans and the sweater dress? or jeans w/ 2 different tops?

If you do skinny jeans, I think you should wear heels. And I''d jazz all of the outfits with shoes, but that''s just me. Do you have any other colorful outfits? And what will the weather be like?

I love the dress--in fact, I think I have it. You should probably wear colored instead of black heels. Do you have anything in a deep maroon? A nice fall color. Or a purple or blue?

A scarf would look nice, but so would a bright necklace (is it "you" to wear a long beaded necklace? That''s what I would do, in a color that complemented, but wasn''t the same as the shoe).

For a shirt-jeans option, do you have any bolder color shirts to wear under the jackets? I like the color of the bright blue the best because it stands out more, but I don''t like the neckline under that jacket. I also like the navy sweater with the white jacket, but it really needs accessories, too. Maybe a scarf here and a necklace with the dress? Just a thought.

Good luck, though, I am sure they are going to turn out great!

I like the sweater dress - I''d say jazz it up with a nice belt and shoes. Also, I''m not big on the jacket - can you wear skinny jeans with nice shoes (love the ones you have on in the first few pics) and the bright blue blouse without the jacket?

I like 2 best, then 1. I think the shoes you have on with those are really cute too!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

I like two and 3 w/ heels!

 

[PrincessDijon]

I love 2 and 3 as well!!!!

 

[newbie124]

Thanks, everyone!

Yes, sadly, this outfit selection process has highlighted the fact that I need more fun shoes!! Almost everything I have is dark or neutral. boo

I tried to do some last minute shoe shopping yesterday, but couldn''t find anything. sigh...

I did think about using at least a scarf to try to add some color. Here''s a picture of a green silk scarf I have, although I don''t know if it works w/ the sweater dress...

I also got these earrings and bracelet yesterday...would the earrings maybe work instead of a necklace w/ the dress?

Also, what kind of shoes would you recommend for the sweater dress? Strappy heels? pumps? boot?

 

[AmberGretchen]

I think the earrings would be darling with the dress. Of the other outfits you posted, I prefer the ones with the straight leg jeans - I just think skinny jeans will look so dated in a few years. The outfit with the dark brown shirt and ruffle jacket (#3 I think) was darling - I''d do that with those cute earrings to jazz it up.

Definitely not strappy heels with the sweater dress - pumps would be my top choice, followed by boots, but either could definitely be cute.

I love the sweater dress with the earrings and I would do it with knee high boots. I think that makes it look all very fall. No to the scarf with the sweater dress.

I also like option three....I think the jacket is so cute. I think the scarf may be a cute accent to outfit three in a couple of the pics....I wouldn''t do them all with it. I think going simple is the way to go for these pictures.

I vote for # 1 (sweater dress) or #5 (jeans with the blazer jacket). Both are classic... I would add some fancy jewlery like nice pearls and high heels!

When I saw that bright blue cami, I immediately thought, "Oooh, that''s cute!" I think I just like color! It seems like you are a neutrals kind of girl, but I think that a brighter color sets off your skin and hair better. The bright blue is lovely, and I like the white blazer with it. Do you have any more colorful choices? The green silk scarf is pretty, but it seems a little bulky and like it may not photograph well.

Thanks for everyone''s input!!

So it ended up being unseasonably warm today and I didn''t end up wearing the sweater dress (although now I know how to accessorize it once I do get a chance to wear it

!)

We took a few initial photos w/ FI''s vintage Vespa and I ended up wearing a classic trench, skinny jeans, a black button down shirt (which was hidden under the trench in most of the pictures) and fun blue pumps that I just found today!

Then I switched into outfit 2 for the rest of our photos and accessorized w/ the new earrings.

I can''t wait to see our photos! We even got a few shots w/ one of our kitties (the other was being a scared-y cat and wouldn''t come out) and a bunch around the city. I felt a bit self conscious at first w/ people stopping and looking to see what we were doing, but then I thought, heck, maybe they just think we''re modeling clothes so then I just relaxed and had fun with it

Can''t wait to share some teaser pics when we get them!

Here''s a pic of the blue pumps and another fun pair I got today (it was buy 1 get 1 half off at Nine West ):

Yay! I cannot wait to see how they turn out!
