my engagement pictures are in 3 weeks

[MWOS]

I cannot find any dressy shoes I like, of course

Tell me that the Cole Haan shoes are worth $100

I've also been experimenting with makeup to figure out what to wear that day. I do my makeup and take a selfie. I'm growing concerned that I'm very odd looking and won't look good in pictures. (wilted) 

[speckledfrog]

We've seen you. You look fantastic. Get the shoes!

Get the shoes if you like them!

The best advice I got (it was free, so maybe it's worth what I paid, lol) is just to make sure you look like yourself, but the best version of you. Natural makeup in colors you love, clothes that you love, a hair-do you love, etc. The happiness and confidence radiates in pictures. They're going to be beautiful!

I agree with this! If you feel confident, it will come through in your photos! And you're gorgeous, so stop worrying about looking good in your photos!

[MWOS]

these are the shoes!!

I wish my eyes were a different color. I think they are why I look bizarre.

Have you seen her hair?  It's effing magical.  Like, best hair ever.  And she's crazy gorgeous, so MWOS, you've got nothing to worry about here. 

I love those shoes too!  Adorable!

[pantsparty]

Those shoes are super cute. You'll get good use out of them!

[kirra]

I like the shoes. Good shoes are always worth the money.

I'm sure you'll look beautiful.

Have you picked out clothes yet?

[iamali]

I WANT DOS SHOEZ.

[angelaa73]

Oh shaddup you beautifool

[MWOS]

my dress:



my casual outfit:

plus boots and jeans

what can I say, I look good in a v neck

[MWOS]

pictures are outdoors at a really pretty place around here. I am willing the trees to cooperate with me and make themselves super colorful that day.

[sequins]

I like those shoes and definitely worth the price!! Do they have it in a darker brown? These might get muddy if the photos are outdoor?

Are you kidding me with this stuff? You are so so gorgeous! Unless cbwm1 is some photo magician, in which case, have her do your engagement photos.

And the shoes are super versatile, you'll be able to wear them lots after the photos. Get them!

SHE IS!

AND SHE OFFERED!

but they are included in our photographer's wedding package, so here we are.

and she will tell you, I am not good in front of the camera. And my eyes are a weird color so I look like an Anime LARPer.

um. I'm nervous about having my picture taken.

[kirra]

I love your outfits

I hate having my picture taken, and am really bad at putting myself in a flattering angle, but we have so many gorgeous photos from our engagement shoot and wedding. Our photographer was amazing at making us look good. I'm sure your photographer will be just as good. It's their job to make people look good.

What color are your eyes? Now you have me curious

[sparkythelawyer]

Your eyes are NOT a weird color.

And your hair is in fact, magical. Might even cure cancer :-)

[MWOS]

my eyes are gray

[angelaa73]

And they're beautiful.

Lets see the earrings

[MWOS]

no earrings. my hair will be down anyway. but I have this necklace to wear with the dress:



and I wanted to do something like this for the shirt and jeans:

[MWOS]

my poor stomach is in knots angelaa73

you have the best taste and I want you to fix me if I'm screwing this up!

[ginap]

I love the shoes and need that blouse in my life right now.

[VeryViolet]

The only picture I ever remember seeing of you, you were stoned and in a hospital gown. You looked gorgeous then and I am sure you will look even more gorgeous all dolled up!

[angelaa73]

Very nice. But let's put some earrings on anyway

[Deleted]

Colored contacts? I would also suggest springing for hair and makeup -- I do whenever I know I'll be photographed for anything -- and don't be shy about photoshopping. mp will tell you how many hours she spent photoshopping me in our Christmas photos last year, at my request.

I already have an appt to get my hair blown out that day. I was planning on doing my own makeup though. I'm deeply concerned about the quality of makeup artists in the area.

I'm not even a little shy of the photoshop. My future in-laws are paying this guy BIG MONEY to sit at his computer and make me look better than real life.

[MWOS]

I don't even know how to USE contacts. I will get over this hang up momentarily. And then I will move on to something else. Like the shape of my cuticles, or that my left eye is squintier than my right eye.

Whatever, Hottie McHotterton. Shut up with that crap about being odd looking!

Good, after I posted it I was scared it sounded more like heavy breathing cat:
