boots: dsw skirt: old navy sweater: diy (tutorial here)
Here's yet another.
In high school there was this "joke." I say that in quotes because while true, it didn't make me laugh. Which maybe it should've and it would have helped me with my problem.
The joke was that I looked angry all the time. I'd walk around the halls and my friends thought I was mad or sad or some negative emotion, because my relaxed, normal face apparently looked unhappy.
While I doubt I have a picture of me in high school, as I'm sure it was unattractive and I wouldn't keep it around, I imagine looking something like this. Which actually just looks a little more annoyed than anything. Apparently my mom only kept smiling pictures of us.
Chris on the other hand, walks around looking like something straight out of a cartoon, because his face was and is always smiling. Which is why when I saw this shirt on pinterest I immediately thought of him.
I actually used to have to remind him in pictures to have a normal smile, because his was hugely wide open, extreme smile, and just looked silly.
(I realize he isn't actually trying to smile in this picture. But I looked for one for about 30 minutes and gave up and really wanted to include a picture. This was the best I could do.)
I even tried it. Walking around with this big smile. Well it looked fake and was awkward and didn't last long.
And I'm even outnumbered in my house because I have a dog that constantly smiles too:
Yet another thing I admire about my husband. He really his happy about 98% of the time.

That is too funny! I used to be accused of being stuck up in high school because I always looked mad! And my husband makes the goofiest faces in pictures, too :).
ReplyDeleteHaha even the doggy is smiling! Garrett is the same way, always happy. He doesn't physically smile constantly but he is always in a good mood. People tell me I smile alot, I don't feel like I do but oh well!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteHehe that dog really does look happy! Our last dog used to smile all the time too, he even showed his teeth - it was so funny!

Lovely pics <3 I like your outfit!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I use to be told the same thing! If I'm not smiling I look like I'm angry. I've had to make it a habit to smile a lot more just because of it :).
ReplyDeleteI love your heart sweater!

These smiles made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI swear our husbands are so similar! Tom is happy 99% of the time, and that always make it seem like I'm just mrs. grumpy pants, but I'm really not, I swear! :)

I agree with this! Just because you don't have a giant smile on your face all day doesn't mean you're not happy. Most times, I'm pretty happy (or, at least, not angry), but I'm not going to smile to myself. I do smile at children in the hallway. I promise. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt. I need to go to Old Navy this weekend.
I love your description of your husband looking like he's from a cartoon. People that look happy like that all the time can be infectious with their happiness/attitude. But it's true, not everyone naturally has that ability to effortlessly look happy all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in this post. I love the graphic sweater with the striped skirt!
haha love this.the last photo is great : )
ReplyDeleteHaha love the smiling doggy!
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes my "natural normal" face can give off a not so happy look too even if I am happy.
Funny!!! Nate and I are the same way... Except opposite of u guys!! Im the smiling like a fool 24/7 and Nates "normal face" looks like hes pissed lol! Of course until he starts talking :)
ReplyDeleteThis post cracks me up! And I LOVE your heart sweater!
ReplyDeleteSmiling is my favorite too, I LOVE elf!

I love your photos!! You are such an adorable kid!!
ReplyDeleteSorry - were such an adorable kid. LOL typing too fast :) Seriously though, this post cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteI am the same way- totally look like I'm mad when I'm not smiling! I love that sweater- you blog is the third I have seen with one like it! I LOVe that it's a DIY!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good kind of husband to have. Some people just have a more relaxed "neutral" face...and I'm one of them!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is exactly the same - I always have to remind him in pictures to have a "real" smile that's not overly enthusiastic. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same as you. Even when I'm not frowning, it looks like I am. It's really annoying because people are constantly telling me to smile.
ReplyDeleteLove the heart sweater. I am having a similar look next week on my blog for V-Day! Stopping by from Watch Out for the Woestmans!
