1/30 aka I won't be changing careers anytime soon

Shirt: Herve Bernard from Marshalls, Jacket: Banana Republic thrifted, Necklace: thrifted, Belt: thrifted, Jeans: Old Navy, Boots: Endless.

Hello, hello!

I know I promised just one post with all my 30 for 30 outfits compiled each week, but I can't lie, I've been getting really excited checking out some of the other remixers' blogs, and wanted to make sure to get up outfit number one in case anyone stops by! Then I swear I'm back to the old plan.

So here's pretty much how the first photoshoot went:

Me (in my head): OK, pose, pose, over the shoulder, sexy smile, leg pop, skinny arm. You're lookin' good girl!

Derek (after about 10 seconds): Why don't you stop and take a look at what we've got?

Me (realizing what Derek already knows: I look constipated and/or insane in every photo): Accck! What am I doing wrong?

Derek: Why don't you come over by the door instead, turn to the side, give a little bit of a smile like this (demonstrates several poses which I mimic. New pictures turn out great).

So the moral of the story here is, my boyfriend is a better model than I am. Great. Looks like I have an ANTM marathon in my future.

And to make sure you get a good laugh with your morning cup of coffee, here's a sample of what my pictures looked like without Tyra Derek's direction.
