Lazy + Awkward

Okay, so I've realized that whenever I have someone different take my pictures, I revert back to being awkward and static. My roommate/coworker (her name is Justine, by the way) took these really quickly after we both got off of work and I just stood there like an awkward lump. Though it's not like this outfit is particularly exciting, so I guess the photos do it justice.



This is the sort of outfit that occurs after an eight hour closing shift on Saturday followed by a last-minute late night of hot tubbing and McDonalds (which I never ever ever eat). Followed by another whole eight hour shift today. Plus, it was super wet and miserable and not at all motivating to put on something cute.

We both worked all day today, which is silly, since we walk to work together, work and then walk home together. And then we ate food, took out trash/recycling and watched a movie together (Tommy Boy, which made me giggle a whole lot, by the way). It's amazing that I am not sick of her :P

And, like I mentioned, me at my most awkward:





I make this face at Justine a lot. Because she is a big meanie face.



I will, by the way, be teaching Justine how to capture my whole body in photographs. And also how to focus the camera. For a first try, I applaud her. But it's all good. That is to be expected, since she is a tiny bit challenged and cannot do simple things like open our balcony door :P

Thank you, by the way. (I know you are reading this. don't hurt me or watch me while I sleep)

    Hahaha!! I actually love this outfit, I feel like all the pieces are so flattering and casual chic on you!

    Oh I feel you on gravitating towards more "cutesy" clothing items, I do it too, which would be okay if I didn't look 12 already instead of 27, haha!

    I actually like this outfit a lot! It may not be your fanciest but it looks great on you. Sometimes we need to bring it back to the basics. And go Justine! :)

    haha, she did good for the first time! lol. I had my mom take a few pics of me in my Halloween outfit last year, she took 5 pics, and after I opened them on my computer I realized that only ONE of the was full-body. *facepalm*. why di I need 4 pictures of my head and shoulders? lol

    cute necklace! it's always fun to see simpler outfits... I forget how to dress casual sometimes so seeing posts like this helps me out a lot :)

    Sometimes a simple outfit is the best. :) I too get awkward when others take my pictures - suddenly I forget all my poses, haha!

    You look so cute! I like seeing what people actually wear on their blogs, rather than just the stylish trendy things! I have yet to feature pants on my blog, and I wear them all the time- even as I write this! :)

    LOL. Your post made me giggle. You are so adorable. My sister (or tripod) are the only people that ever take my photos! It would be way awkward if anyone else did. For one thing, no one else knows I have a blog...

    Hehe.

    Your hair looks so healthy and soft. My hair...sigh...I don't know what to say about my hair. My hair is like Delightfully Tacky's hair after a wash but in a BAD way. (DT's hair is awesome) But then it becomes settled after sleeping on it for a night.

    No matter what the circumstance, you can never go wrong with a great looking jeans and t-shirt outfit.
