I've been browsing around the blogosphere, admiring other bloggers' pictures and I've been noticing something: some of their best pictures are the serious-faced ones where they look all gorgeous and model-like. So the other day, when I went out to take an outfit picture, I said to myself "You know what, Self? You can't seem to NOT smile in any of your pictures! It's time to do it like those other gals! You could be Tyra 2.0."
Needless to say, that failed. I won't regale you with the attempted pictures. Crystin the Model is not going to happen, although that ship pretty much sailed away from me when I never managed to grow past 5'1". I'm a smiler (and yes, I made up that word)! I can't help it. It seems that I can't be serious-faced for more than two seconds without feeling all awkward and pretentious. I'm awkward enough as it is without adding anything extra!
And on that note, enjoy my smile =D
That necklace is so edgy, great contrast against white shirt. And you have a gorgeous smile! =]

Awesome outfit, once again :) And honey, I know what you're talking about, my tries to look model-like isn't working that great either. But I don't see any reason you should stop smiling on your photos. Your smile is gorgeous, and it makes the photos very warm and easy to relate to. :) You're a great example of how to do it "differently", why should we all look like models? I know I don't. :D Keep up the smile photos, and take care!

I rarely smile in my pictures, but it's mainly because I have --GASP!-- braces. (Shh.) For serious. It's a little weird being a junior in college with braces, but it is what it is. I probably won't smile even after I get them off. Over the years, I've just learned to keep my mouth shut as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteSMILE! You don't have to be like everyone else. All of your readers like your smile. It's cute!
