The Savvy Stylist: Engagement Photos

Reader Request

My fiancĂ© and I are doing engagement pictures on the beach in a couple of weeks and I’m stumped. We want to go casual but not the traditional jeans/white shirt look. What would you recommend? I’m 5’4”, have a bit of a pear shape and don’t care for skirts/dresses above my knee (prefer knee length or longer). A cardigan or something with sleeves is a must since it can be quite chilly once the sun goes down.

This outfit is flirty and romantic enough for the engagement shoot, but casual enough for the beach. It adds up to just $97.28.
