    Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone could give me advice on a winter style for my upcoming engagement pictures.

     I live in Miami,FL, which is rarely cold, and i am taking e-pictures in Paris, which will be about 30 degrees. Therefore i have no idea what a decent choice of clothes would be. My fiance and I dont want the pictures to look posed. We just want them to look like we are hanging out in the city.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what would look elegant and chic?

    Thank you in advance!

    Wow, that is so exciting!  I'd have two outfits--one with skinny jeans and tall boots, a sweater and a dressy coat.  Then one with a warm sweater dress, black tights and some killer platform heels.

    That's so awesome! I'd definitely go with jeans, boots, and a jacket! I love mouse's idea of a dress with tights too!

    Ooooh! I love this! An awesome coat with cool details - an off center neckline, big buttons. A chunky scarf! Skinny dark jeans and tall boots.

    A peacoat is a must.  And to add to the local... add one of these French style hats for a few of the poses.

    I say wear a cute hat (like the purple beret/beanie in the picture posted) and jeans with boots and a peacoat..scarf if it's cold enough. It will look not overly done up but still very chic and cute! That would be my choice if I were taking my engagement pics in Paris (so cool, by the way:)...very Sex & the City!! Cheers, hope they look amazing!

    This is so amazing and Im so completely jealous! The possibilities are endless, I love winter clothes! BOOTS, thick tights, sweater dresses, long coats, warm hats, chunky sweaters, and stylish scarves. Paris is the most fashionable place in the world, definitly have fun with your outfits!

    Both of you should be wearing coats for sure and maybe gloves and scarves as well.  You want to be warm and cozy.  And you must post pictures!

    Hi jeanette!

    You are so lucky!!! Congrats.. i second those with the peacoat and boots idea..here is the coat i have (mine is white like the picture) and i think its so feminine with the ruffles, i wear mine with jeans and slacks..high heels, flats, boots! Its from Victoria's Secret.

    BTW..im from Miami FL but moved to Miss. I graduated from Southwest in 05.

    I can't figure out how to attach or copy-and-paste images, but there's a Parisian Kiss poster I used to own that could provide some inspiration... Could look a little posed, but still...

    a peacoat and a colorful scarf for some photos.  In other photos take your coat off and just wear a cute hat and mittens with a sweater.  We did winter e-pics in 10 degree weather in MN.  Check out what we wore in the pics at the bottom of this website:  http://gallery.weddingbee.com/profile/amariem25/page/2
