Thanks to everyone that commented on my last post in regards to the Epic Outfit Contendors. Turns out… I may not go with any of those. 
And I am completely freaked out! 
I started shopping early and was pretty confident with my outfits, but then I started doubting myself since I did get opinions that the black outfit looked a bit on the business attire side and the white, I’m afraid even though it’s cute and simple, I may just look too washed out. I panicked and began ordering a truckload of outfits via Nordstroms and paid overnight shipping for them to arrive today. EEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeKKKKs!
Let me know what you think? I’ll do fashion runway picture montage for ya tonight once I get them home to try on… And get this, I’m sick again! Stupid cold/allergies! 
I feel so far off the sexy wagon, it just ain’t pretty here.
Tops …
Dresses …

I really like the dress with the blue borders. It would look cute with a little sweater too, if it’s chilly at all.
It took me a while, though, to figure out what an “epic” was. I was pronouncing it like the word “epic”, and thought I was missing out on some big party or event that gets thrown for the bride! =)
it’s hard to make a judgment without seeing the clothes actually on you
i’m not honestly in love with any of the dresses…i love all the shirts though, especially the purple & blue one.
I love that first shirt-can you tell me where it was on Nordstrom so i can get one :). If you’re thinking of doing any action shots, you might want to avoid the dresses. If you do separates, you could take a big bag and stick another top and extra accessories in for quick changes.
Hmmmm, kind of hard to tell which outfit will look best. will have to wait until you post pics of you in each outfit!
I really love the first top with the turq and purple fading together! I still really like your first black dress too!
I’m going through the same thing right now. E-pix on Saturday! I am patiently waiting for my Forever 21 shipment now..which I’m stalking UPS for! I also made a super impulse buy of some yellow super cute pumps at my lunch break!! Who knows what I will end up wearing! But for sure it will be at least two outfits!
I hope something works out for you too!
To be honest, I’m not sure I like any of those. I think for something as important as the E-pix, you want something simple yet timeless. You don’t want to look back and say “eeekkk why did I wear that?” With that said, I’d go with something monotone and simple in its designs. Just my thoughts. Of course, you want to be in what you’re comfortable in. I always have a few stores that I default to, simple and timeless, I’d tried Banana Republic, Something trendy, I’d tried Bebe. Forever 21 or H&M can have cute items too. Good luck!
I like the black top with white pants, and the red top next to it. I think they are just simple and classy, and not looking like you’re dressing up for pictures. But that’s just me, I don’t dress up too much, so when I do, it’s obvious. 
Ooooh Nordstrom loves someone! Well, at least until you return all the “no” pieces!
I’m so glad you gave yourself more options. I liked your original ideas (which I commented on in detail!). The fact that you gave yourself more options means that you weren’t completely “feeling” what you had before (not that the weren’t great!). What it comes down to is that you’ve got to feel incredible, so that feeling will be echoed in your photos.
All that ramble said, here’s my (humble) opinion-
I LOVE the first and second and third shirts. I’m not feeling any of the dresses for photo reasons, as I’d be worried how the patterns and/or colors would photograph.
I say, go with one of the shirts and a great pair of jeans and shoes and also the black dress from your original options (change in a public restroom, wherever).
Oh, and hair down. It’s oh so romantic. Good luck! Can’t wait for you to post the photees!
Personally, I’d avoid the strapless unless you are one of those lucky women who aren’t constantly walking around with their hands in their armpits hoisting it up.
Also, if you’re planning on doing a clothing change, I’d say do one “modern” outfit (tops 1, 2,3; dresses 1&3) and one “romantic” outfit (top 5; dress 1,4) for a contrast.
I love the gray top!
Do a broadcast tonoght and we can vote “live”!
Don’t worry too much! Just be yourself and wear something you’re comfortable in. The more you stress and fret about looking good in the photos the more you’re likely to look uncomfortable in them. You’re very beautiful and your photos will be great no matter what you wear. 
I LOVE the pink ruffle-y dress. I saw it on the “Today” fashion segment and it looks sooooo pretty on. Also if changing.. definately the purple/turquoise ombre top…it will photograph beautifully.
Really not digging the first top. I think you’ll look at a picture of yourself in that top in five years (heck in one year) and think it looks really dated.
I like the gray top and the black top.
Of the dresses, not crazy about any of them. The blue flowered dress is the cutest on the model though. That pink dress looks like it is attacking her–way too much fabric!
We just took our epics last week in SF. Our photographer was really happy that we wore bright colors. I had a pastel yellow striped casual tee from Express. She said next time she would tell her E-pic couples to wear bright colors and definetely not black or darker colors.
For tops I like the gray, black, or maroon one. Dresses…I like the turquoise bordered one or the pink (the two in the middle). But you really do need to try it on before you know what looks best on you. Can’t wait for you to show us your modeling pics!
the first top & the pink dress are my favorites
the one i like is the white ruffly top. i think a lot of the bright colors and bold patterns are going to look dated and you want these pictures to look classic. i would try something simple and feminine, jcrew, banana, or anthro all good places.
not sure without seeing you, but my favorites are definitely the dark gray top, the light gray dress, and the blue border dress. I’m really not a fan of the others.
And I agree about bright colors and bold patterns possibly looking dated in a few years.
the grey top is beautiful. i like the sleeveless turquoise floral dress.
My favorites, hands down are 1) the blue/gray V-neck top with stones under the bodice (so cute yet unique!!) and 2) the pink frilly dress (fun and romantic!!!).
i like the silver dress and black halter. sooooooooooooo cute!
I’d say go with a classic/timeless look. If you wear something that’s too trendy (the blue braided top & black dress), you might not like it so much later on when you look back on the pics.
Anyways, I think the gray ruched shirt & the silver dress would be good choices.
Feel better soon!
@ninanina: here is the link to the top: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2958418?Category=&Search=True&SearchType=keywordsearch&keyword=matty+m+in+All+Categories&origin=searchresults
@beanchar: great idea beanchar but im hacking my lungs out and feeling not so sexay. Mr. CB is on his way over so Imma have him take a few pics of the ones we narrowed it down to.
@Jenn: Great advice Jenn! Thank you!
Everyone thank you so much for your honest opinions. I totally know what some of you gals mean when picking tops or dresses that might appear a bit on the trendy not so classic style but i was really hoping for some color so that our pics would pop and make it a bit more lively. let’s see though … what mr. cb thinks, he has yet to see me in any of these, looking sexay as ever with my dry red nose and mouth and smelly cat voice.
Can you link me to that gray top on the top right? I’ve been looking on nordstrom.com and can’t seem to find it…maybe I’m not looking hard enough.
I think the gray top would look good on you, and that first dress on the left…the white/gray one. But it will definitely help to see pictures. Good luck!
i like the black halter top with the stone neck line and the gray top. I also am not feeling any of the dresses… i think the patterns on the dresses are okay, but not GREAT!
i like the gray vneck and the pink dress! so perdy and exudes both a sexy and a springtime feel!
I love the gray v-neck top and dress with blue borders! Beautiful!
I love the gray top and the dress w/ blue borders as well as the white dress. I think those will look great in the photos. GL!
i like the silver dress, but LOVE LOVE LOVE the ombre shirt!
@Jennifer: Hi Jennifer - here is the link to the gray top:

Do you have the link for the dress that’s black with pink? Those are my colors and I would love it for my shower, but I can’t find it on the website!

Enjoy!
I don’t like the first top. If you want to go with a cutesy look then the white top is nice. However, I like the black top with the beads the best.
As for the dresses, I think the pink frilly dress is too much….maybe if were in black. I like the silver dress the best. With the other dresses I feel as though the patterns might be too loud and overpower your engagement pictures.
i like the black halter top and the grey dress.
