My engagement photos are July 20th and I am struggling very hard on what to wear!!!! I have ordered 5 different dresses and don't like them. No one not my mom or maid of honor is helping me to find the outfits I want to wear. I'm so sick of scrolling through pages of dresses!!!!! Im about to cancel them because I am just FED UP. Nothing seems to be very me and no one seems to know how to steer me in any direction. I'm just frustrated with the whole ordeal at this point. Any help help ideas??? Our photos are in a wild flower field with woods around it. I'm looking for a glam outfit and a casual outfit

Keep it simple. A white sundress and jeans and a white t shirt are perfect.

While I totally understand you are frustrated, it really isn't your friends or family's responsibility to help you pick your outfits. Not sure where you've been looking, but I would go to an actual store to look rather than scrolling through page after page of dresses.

I am not very fashionable so I need help with picking outfits. Im not good at matching outfits or anything like that. And I don't live in an area with much shopping and have traveled to a larger mall farther away and found nothing.

It doesn't sound like they are interested in helping so I would look online for inspiration photos. For a formal look you could do a pretty black or white dress and for a causal look you could do a simple pair of jeans and nice top. I've included some links to dresses I think would be very pretty.

Another idea is to try Trunk Club—you take a style quiz and put in information about your sizes and fit preferences. You can specifically say what your occasion is and that you’re looking for one glam and one casual outfit, and they will send you options.

I personally buy all of my dresses on Lulus. I’ve rarely ordered anything I didn’t like or didn’t fit good. And I love that there’s usually tons of photo reviews. Hope that helps a little.

I love Lulu’s and recommend you look there! They do free shipping and returns over $50, so I like to order a ton of stuff and return what doesn’t work. Maybe you could find a nice top and then maybe a maxi dress. I wore this tank with some jeans and black heels for our casual outfit - https://www.lulus.com/products/gwynne-ivory-v-neck-ruffled-cropped-tank-top/636112.html. And then I wore a dress in my closet for our more formal photos. I’d say visit Lulu’s website, filter by your size, and go crazy. 😊

Go to a local Ross/Burlington/Target/Kohl’s and see what catches your eye.

Maybe you're overthinking it. You want whatever it is to be reflective of who you are and what you look like normally - 'you but better'!
Pick something you feel good in - maybe a favourite dress!

I think something long, flowy, and white or a lighter color would be beautiful, like
This Vici Dress
This Lulu's Dress
or This other Lulu's dress
I bought my dress and top for engagement pics from Lulu's and was super satisfied with both. I can't wait for the pictures.

Been there. Done that. The stress of trying to look perfect is real. Quit scrolling through pages of dresses. Do you have any friends who have had engagement shoots recently? My advice would be to get inspiration from people you love and admire!

I have decided to wear my favorite and most flattering dress. It makes me look amazing and I'm comfortable in knowing it fits and looks great and still looks new. Sometimes you already own what you love so don't be afraid to dig through your closet.
