Our engagment pictures are less than a month away! I’m super stoked…after stalking photography blogs and swooning over gorgeous pictures of the cutest couples…it will finally be our turn to strut our stuff in front of the lens!!
While out shopping this weekend…I found this dress (on sale!).
and Lance picked up this sweater (also on sale!)
both from BR
..and I thought..oh hey…those look cute together! Maybe we could wear them for our engagment pics?!? So I think we just might! Here’s the problem…my dress is a little plain…it needs something.
A belt perhaps?
top from BR, bottom from Anthro
maybe some earrings?
Top 2 from BR, bottom left from Anthro, right BR
or a fun necklace?

I’m pretty much clueless when it comes to fashion and accessorizing…seriously…I’m expecting Stacy and Clinton to walk through my door any day now…
So please HELP ME!! What do you think I need to add to this cute little dress to jazz it up for pictures?? I would love to hear any ideas you have! Oh and what about Lance’s sweater…should he pair it with khaki shorts, jeans, nice pants….what do you think??
I’d say the best way to find out is to try everything on. For engagement session inspiration I suggest http://www.jasminestarblog.com/. Click on engagements category. Another tip – take a fashion forward friend to shop for your look finishes. An extra set of eyes always helps.

Personally I would go for a statement pair of earrings & really fab shoes. I wouldn’t do a big/chunky necklace because my neck’s pretty slim & chunky necklaces just make it look too overloaded if you know what I mean. So I’d say, pop into an accessories store and see what works for you.
I would just simply ad an oversized vintage broach…one with Blues and greens to pick up his sweater!! Also I would where a jewel tone peep toe shoe to pop in the photos!

I LOVE the green necklace. It also matches his green sweater!
If you do the necklace, it’s definitely going to make the biggest fashion statement, so I’d tone down all the other accessories to go with it.
I agree with Stephanie–stick to blues and greens if he’s going to wear that sweater.
