Nervous About Engagement Shoot Outfit

Katelyn, on December 9, 2020 at 10:23 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

Ugh. I don't know why I'm like this (lies--I just lost thirty pounds and still see myself as what I used to be), but I am SO anxious about our engagement shoot next week. Choosing a dressy outfit was simple--going with a super pretty light blue dress with a red peacoat, but I'm STRUGGLING for the more casual session.

I've tried on six or so different outfits at this point and keep finding something wrong with my body in each one.

I'll attach the few I'm still considering -- wondering if anyone can help me with accessories? Or ideas for a jacket over the bodysuit? I'm way more comfortable in my dressier selection, I think because of the coat I'm wearing. Perhaps shapewear would help be feel more confident?

I'm leaning towards the white bodysuit, but wanted to see what you all think? FH outfit will be decided based on mine.

    I think the top pic is better for an engagement shoot and since it is V cut a long necklace would be great. I think you could do a fun color like some yellow or red to add some pop. You'll look lovely so do not be nervous and congrats on the weight loss.

    Congrats on your engagement, and also your weight loss!

    I really like the white top for your pictures! It feels more 'engagement shoot', and it flatters you so well!

    First of all, you look wonderful in both outfits! And congratulations on your weight loss! How about a black jacket over the white v-neck (or maybe a dark bold color instead of black, like maroon)? I think that would look awesome - the contrast of the darker jacket and white bodysuit, the v-neck and the necklace, and the jacket would still accentuate your shape without making you feel, like, too exposed or on display...and also keep your eye from being too critical about a detail like a seam or how the bodysuit fabric may wrinkle with normal body movement. Good luck with the photo shoot!! It will be awesome and so much fun!!

    I like the white body suit. I have lost about 15lbs since covid pandemic. I recommend you wear some shapewear. That helps me feel so much better in photos.

    The white looks better to me. You can add shapewear if that’s makes you feel better. At this weather you can add a leather or jeans jacket. I don’t think the shapewear is needed for shaping but more for layering and keeping you warm during the shoot. Booties or knee high boots would look great with that outfit. I could imagine wearing a beret or a fisherman’s cap with that. Beside the ring, I don’t think you need anything. You look great. Congratulations for the lost pounds! 30lbs isn’t easy to lose 🎉

    I also like the white top better. However, I think the sleeves are really the star of the top! If you wore a jacket to cover it, I don’t think it will look as special. For that reason, I like the black top better for your photos. It provides a neutral layering piece under a jacket and won’t look too “busy”.

    I agree on not wearing jewelry besides the engagement ring. It allows the ring to be the star! 💍✨

    A camel jacket over a black T-shirt always photographs well

    Okay soooo I’m going to go with this!! Black makes me feel more confident and this outfit is way more *me* than the others. I think I’m overthinking this whole process LOL. Need to order a pair of jeans that fit better (these ones are a little loose around the waist) and I’m good to go!! Thank you all for your help!
