I then thought about my other options. Self timer? Nope, too tricky. Then I thought, well I can ask one of my neighbors but then I thought about knocking on the door and saying, "So, I like have a fashion blog and I need some full body shots of me taken, and only me, because I post pictures of myself on the internet". I don't think those are the words I would use, but it's basically what it would sound like, so I decided against that too.
So here I am taking pictures with photo booth and I promise it won't happen again. Onto to the outfit...
While it is nice to think I spend my summer months looking put together and stylish, I don't. I have a summer uniform and no matter what I start out wearing in the day, I always end in this outfit (and most days I wake up in the morning put it on then throw it on the floor at night and then wear the next day). Here it is:

If not, if you could only wear one outfit, what would it be?
(Totally unrelated question: I'm throwing a baby shower tomorrow and I've only ever been to like 2 of these things. Do any of you know a fun game to play? links? ideas? Everything else is set but I'm looking for just one little game???)

My everyday outfit since I graduated and stay at home: sweatpants, t-shirts (usually the kind you're given when you participate in something) and barefoot. Of course, when I venture out to run some errands I change said sweat pants for jeans. Or just do the whole thing over, dress like a human being, put on make up and wear shoes instead of flip flops.
Gosh, this is NOT how expected my life to be after graduation. Hahaha! (this comment is turning out very depressing... :P)
PS: Self times take better pictures than my husband (bless his heart) does. You all have very talented husbands! Haha!
PS 2: I'm following! :)
Summer uniform would be anything loose and super comfy to me! Jeans and a t-shirt like yours are definitely working!
Silly husband, doesn't he know that outfit photos for the fashion blog come before everything else? I like to wear a casual skirt and t-shirt. Jeans are too hot for the city's heat+humidity.
North Meets South
I think you look great and I wish I looked that good in just a t and skinnies. :) I usually rotate what I wear over and over. haha!
I'm with you the whole way with the men's hanes v neck. I loove them! Well for the past 3 weeks of summer I've pretty much been rocking those and black stretchy work out pants. It's been pretty amazing!
Hahaha! Self timer pics can be tricky. :)
My summer uniform is usually a cotton dress of some sort. It's easy, it's one piece, it looks much more classy than flannel PJs, it's super comfy and I can just throw on a belt and sandals IF I leave the house. Done and done. :)
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
I use a tripod and time to take pics a lot - it works and you can take a million pictures and no one will know how crazy you are :).
I have also only been to 2 baby showers and I try to avoid them because of....the games. Not my things at all :).
That self timer picture is hilarious! Love it :)
Summer uniform, ummm - shorts and a tank or short sleeve collared shirt or a skirt with a tank top. Anything that doesn't make me sweat, lol

Hey I was just looking at those Hanes mens vneck shirts yesterday! It looks so cute on you, maybe I should go back and get them! you look darling. And I happen to Love your summer uniform!
new outfit post:The House of Shoes
you are adorable in that outfit. i usually go with crewneck mens hanes but i've now been inspired to get crazy and try a pack of v's.
as for the baby shower, i feel like i've been to 20 of them in the last year and the games are always lame. a couple of the better ones were scattergories with baby-related subjects and a celebrity baby-name matching thing.
You're summer uniform is exactly the same as mine (except mine is my autumn uniform - because you cannot wear jeans in an Australian summer!). There's nothing comfier than jeans and a loose tshirt - love it! We have great taste :)

jeans and white tank top and flats LOL
My summer uniform is EXACTLY yours, except I don't put the effort into jeans. I hate wearing jeans. So, I'm usually in a Hanes v-neck and comfy pants. Unless I go out, I get dressed. Or I get dressed for the blog. But then it's back to the comfies.

Ha, I once got caught taking photos and told the little girl, "I take pictures of myself and put them on the internet." I blogged about it and my friends STILL won't let me live it down.
My year-round uniform is a pencil skirt and a fitted tank top. I have a 35-inch inseam and am usually too cheap to pay for pants that long, so I have to go with a skirt!
Quidquid Eris
lol loved this post! I am your newest follower =)
I am usually in my husbands basketball shorts and a baggy tee (this has a lot to do with having kids who need me to run around and then they spit up on my shirt... yeah) but if I could be in one outfit all summer it would be pajamas. I am proud to say I am a pajama girl!
p.s. we totally have the same t.v. remote!
Haha! These pics are so much fun! You don't have a remote for your mac? I quite often take pics with a self timer on my camera and it feels a bit silly to run back and forth but it actually works well cause it gives you 10 seconds to position yourself.
I like to wear airy dresses and skirts. I don't have a uniform so much but anything that doesn't cling to my body. I often see girls wearing a bikini top underneath their tops and dresses in summer (even if they are not going swimming) and I don't get that at all!
I have totally taken pictures with Photo Booth before because I haven't been able to find my camera. It sucks, but it works!
I have no good ideas for baby showers because I try to boycott them. Baby showers make me uncomfortable. Baby humans make me uncomfortable. The thought of a little human growing inside of a giant stomach kind of creeps me out.

I know you already had the baby shower, but for future reference. I just threw a baby shower not too long ago and we played two games. I put a cd or playlist of about 15 songs I could find with 'babe' or 'baby' in the title and played only 5 seconds of each song. The party goers had to guess what the title of the song was for one point and who it was by for an additional point. The person with the most points won a symphony bar. And then you give the cd to the mother to be as a party favor. The second one was as many baby items as I could gather up and playing a memory game. Basically you bring out a tray of 20 baby items (or however many you can get your hands on) and after 30 seconds take it away and have the party goers try and write down all of the items they were able to remember. Most wins, and the mommy to be gets all of the items.
My summer go to outfit are my brown cargo shorts and a v neck tee. It's just soo comfy!
love this! easy breezy!
one of my readers suggested i stop by your blog. i have started doing a kind of what i wore this week for my saturday posts. looks like great inspiration here.

pretty much baggy sweat pants and a hanes v-neck. Sad? Yes. I know.

For years my summer outfit was a pair of baggy jeans, a white tank top, and flip flops. Now that I am a little older I have graduated to a black tee, baggie jeans, and flip flops. If I am not in my bathrobe there is a 60% chance you will find me in my uniform.
My favorite baby shower game is the one where everyone at the party brings a baby picture and you have to guess who everyone is.
i love the summer uniform!! right now mine consists of a swimdress and a big hat! you look great in white whit!
Tee shirts and khaki shorts. Some of the tee shirts are even colors. Almost all are solids though.
I really really love your blog, I follow you!!! :D
Maybe if you want, you could visit my blog too and follow me back ;)
Kisses from México city!

I wear Men's Hanes White Vnecks ALL the time! Usually with athletic shorts, working around the house, running errands. It's what I usually put on right away when I get home from work!
My go to outfit pretty much is exactly this SAME thing! Looks adorable on you and I have turned pro at self timing my pics, sometimes it's just easier than feeling stupid.... ha ha, love your blog and am totally following!
oh how I love a white t-shirt and jeans. Never fails to be one of my favorites.
