Last Monday, Ryan and I went up to NJ for our engagement pictures! While I don't have any pro pics to share just yet, I wanted to share our outfits. Why? Because I had a really hard time deciding what to wear. I mean, really hard.
We're not a super formal couple. Actually, most of our time is spent in jeans a t-shirts. I mean, I like dressing up as much as the next girl, but I'd really rather be comfortable and for me, that generally means a more casual look. Ryan's standard summer ensemble is khaki shorts and a polo, so I figured I'd work my outfit around that. I wanted to wear a sundress, but I couldn't find anything I liked in a solid color (my photographer said that solids photograph better than patterns) so that didn't work. I have a really cute khaki skirt, but while I wanted to coordinate with Ryan, I didn't want to be all extra matchy-matchy. Sigh.
Then I went shopping with my mom and we put together a super cute outfit at NY and Company. A pair of white shorts, a white tank top, and a cropped navy blue hoodie. I loved it! Casual and simple, and totally me. Except then I got home and tried it on, and decided that it might be too casual for the pictures, especially since Ryan was going with the polo shirt. Back at square one.
I did hit the jackpot, though, when I popped into The Gap completely by chance on a random trip to the mall!! I am very excited about my purchases and loved the outfit I put together for the e-pics... see below for an idea of what I wore.

And the super cute flip flops from Kohl's, in brown leather:
It ended up pretty cute, if I do say so myself! Ryan wore khaki shorts and a blue polo that matched my tank top. Adorable, but in a coordinating "non-old folks on a cruise ship" sort of way. I can't wait to see the pictures! I'll write more about our location when the pro pics come in, but here's a preview:
