There's a Reason I'm Not a Model

My job is to make other people look good. I love it. I'm a behind-the-scenes kind of girl. I have the privilege of hosting photo and video shoots for a variety of projects tied to my job. We have a wonderful, local guy, Jason, who is my good pal and does most of our shooting for us, so I always look forward to our projects together.

For the shoots, I often stand-in for testing. Jason has an embarrassingly large catalog of terrible outtakes of me standing in that we laugh about frequently. Yesterday was no exception. The photo below was taken just before I scolded him for never giving me the chance to take a good photo because he always catches me looking super pissed off, when really, it's my favorite part of my job!

Although my facial expression is awful in this photo - and proves why I'd never make a good model - I am a HUGE fan of this outfit. This is my "powerful marketing lady" outfit that I wear on days where I need to dominate my surroundings.

The jacket is from H&M - shirt, pants, and shoes are from JCPenney (are you surprised?). I especially love the jacket because it transitions really well from the office by day to a rock show by night. The cut makes whatever outfit I'm wearing look polished.

I thought this next photo was just cute. If you look really hard, you can tell that I'm smiling about and love this part of my job!
