Nix & I are getting pictures taken when I'm there in Feb. I'm not calling them "engagement pictures" but honestly, what's the difference between that and a "portrait session"? His boss at Old Navy is taking them for us, which is happy. She's nice.
So. I'm trying to put an outfit together for said pictures. I know I'm going to wear jeans, because it will be chilly outside and I don't want to die if we are able to get some outdoor pictures. My current favorites are a pair of skinny jeans I have, but they're wearing out (so I'm going to hopefully buy a new pair in the next two weeks).
My darling sent me a new shirt from ON because I had been oogling it for a while. It won't let me copy the image URL, so here's a link to it. He got me the grey one. (Do you think the sequins would be okay in pictures, or should I try to find something less sparkle-y?)
I'm considering going to look for a blazer to go over it, one that I can cuff the sleeves on (or comes with cuffed sleeves). Yes/no/maybe? Or should I find a cardigan instead?
My other dilemma is shoes. I have these outrageously high purple suede pumps that I LOVE, but are impossible to walk in. I also have neon pink pumps. And a smattering of other heels... Here are a couple of pictures:
I'm not sure if you can see the colors, so going clockwise, starting with the zebra shoe: grey&white zebra print, hot pink, gold sparkles, purple suede, a crazy patterned shoe, and then multi-colored animal print.
Natalie wanted in on the action...
So. opinion on the shoes? (The gold ones are also impossible to walk in, but they look awesome. I wore them to my company's Christmas party last year where we got dressed up all fancy-schmancy.) I have a ton of shoes, but these are my most favorite (and fun!) heels.
I plan on wearing the watch Nix gave me for Christmas, which is rose gold & also sparkle-y (I am currently in love with the fact that sparkles seem to be "in", so they're SUPER easy to find on basically every item of clothing.) Any recommendations for other jewelry/accessories? What about hair...? sigh. I'm hopeless.

#13lyonsgirl commentedJanuary 26, 2013, 06:51 PMEditing a commentSoooo.... I didn't find a grey blazer. I still bought a blazer. It's teal! So, I think I'm going to go with a neutral colored shirt, and simple accessories. I'm still planning on wearing the purple heels-since they're a dark purple. I'll take a picture of it later and share with you guys, but right now I'm exhausted. I've been shopping all day and had my eyes examined (and was told that they have to special order my contacts now, since we're bumping those up to -10.50.... sigh.) BUT new frames are happening too, since the ones I have now are like 4 years old. Aaaand I spent probably too much $$ at Ulta... but it was worth it!
