I’d like to thank the little people… the little person that made me the crown, that is…
Yay! It’s awards season! I’m so excited because I can finally share my sexy wardrobe off to the whole world! Let me tell you, my everyday fashion is about as hot as you can get. Tie-dyed or purple, yoga pants or sweatpants, I’m pulled together like nobody’s business!
Now I must point out that while my fashion skills are impeccable, my selfie skills are only subpar. I rarely take pictures of myself because I have this great talent of blinding myself with the flash.
I can assure you this whole outfit cost me less than $2. It’s a pity you can’t see my really cool brown sweatpants.
Sooner or later, as in the image below, I just give up and have my kids take my picture… technically not a “selfie” per se, but my “self” IS in the photo.
I affectionately refer to this photo as “Don’t laugh at me or I will slap you with my freakishly big hand!”
Did I mention that I’m as graceful as an elephant? Here I’m wearing an icepack by 3M. (I’d suffered an unfortunate run-in with a paper cutter at work that very day….)
See? Even at work I’m a fashion plate. I’m thinking that the no lipgloss of any kind look is going to be the in thing any day now.
So to heck with glamour. As you can see, I have none. What are YOU wearing? (And I don’t mean in a creepy and/or Jake from State Farm kind of way.)
More like this…
Ahem, as I was saying-tell us who and/or what you’re wearing this awards season. “We really want to know, #WhoAreYOUWearingMom ? Tweet it, share it on Instagram, or, if you’re a blogger, link up your own post by following the linky below – feel free to copy the graphic above. The linkup will be open until Sunday night. This Award Season, let’s celebrate real mom fashion!” And don’t forget to see who everyone else is wearing by visiting them too!

hhahah I love that. You’re adorable. I have to know how your head hit a paper cutter.

Becca
Apparently libraries aren’t required to have that safety arm on the gigantic paper cutter. That being said, I probably shouldn’t have been carrying it around either…
Aww I’m so sorry. That had to hurt.
Oh Sarah, is it wrong that I pretty much laughed at..er with you the entire post?
DON-Who are YOU wearing???? I so think you need to link up…
I like Cheesy Sarah, she looks really happy and nice. Not scary or anything. Really really nice. Can I have the tie dye you are wearing in the first picture first?
Dearest Jen-Go here for the best tie-dye: http://www.nitascolores.com/
She has a booth at the State Fair-I have two shirts and a pair of socks from her. THEY NEVER FADE!
Yeah, cheesy Sarah, she’s ok. Unfortunately she’s also lactose intolerant…
Sarah you crack me up!! Love all the selfies. I’m currently wearing an old nightgown from Avon with a torn-out hem that my pugs tugged on while I was playing with them. I should throw it out but it’s so comfortable….
Pictures? Come on, you know you wanna…
Well, by the dog hair on my work pants I appear to still be wearing some of Golden Retriever! Good post, Sarah 🙂
Ah, the ever popular dog hair pants-I do believe I have a few of those too, but mine are German Shepherd/Norwegian Dunkerhound. Hey you should play along too! 🙂 Thanks for coming by to check this all out!
It totally counts if you make your children take your picture. I spent a lot of time setting the self timer on the camera and then running to stand in the right spot. I don’t even try to take my glasses off now to take a picture- they’re always blurry Cause, obviously. This was a wonderful project to do with you!
This project totally gave new meaning to the song Blinded By the Light. HA HA! 😀 I enjoy everything you do Jean. Because awesome.
You are one of the few people who can make me LOL! The caption on that first photo of you in the crown! I’ve made my way through the linky, and so I feel like a broken record at this point, but I am really glad we did this. I am finding it to be really powerful. You are beautiful. We all are beautiful. Yay, us!
YEAH Girlpower! *Beats chest and does the Tarzan thing*
Oh wait, that’s not really a girl thing now is it?
I’m so glad I can make you LOL. And the crown is totally snazzy, though she was really mad at me because I wouldn’t wear it grocery shopping!
Say Cheesy!!! That’s so awesome!!! You’re beautiful, selfie or mini-selfie (that’s a kid reference, because my kids are mini-mes). You crack me up. Always.
I’m glad I’m entertaining someone, because the audience here is a tough crowd this week! 😀 It was fun to play along with this link up!
Girl you make Joan Rivers look like a hack. Great job.
HA HA! That’s totally a compliment! And I can still feel my face…
My sweatpants have a for-real hole in the crotch. Like for real for real. It’d be embarrassing if it were larger. ANd HAHAHAH you did this post perfectly perfect!!! I was uber worried that it mattered that I didn’t “get” the awards but I guess not!! xoxoxoxo
I wrote a poem about the hole in my yoga pants once. It’s where it’s at!
Hilarious! I am totally with you on the grace (hope you’re ok now, by the way). And I think the selfies came out well! But you should see some of mine… yikes! 🙂 PS: I love the tie dye!
*In my best sing songy voice* Come on Jessica… you know you want to share your pictures…
I am a pro at finding tie-dyed shirts. Just set me loose in a thrift store and I’ve located them by smell in under a minute!
I love it!! sweats, glasses, tie-dye… it’s all good….
Ahhhhhh… relaxation…
I always look terrible in selfies. You look adorable, even with a head wound.
I’m not so sure it can classified as a “wound” per se, but definitely some sort of injury! Thanks for the compliment Amy-I’m waiting for YOUR selfie!
The freakishly large hand makes the post. 🙂
Right? It’s so Foo Fighters…
Oh, this is priceless! Loved all the pictures! I had one really bad experience with tie-dying and I haven’t worn anything creatively dyed since. But I do love it! Maybe it’s time to get back on the horse . . .
Oh? Do we get to hear a tie-dye story? PLEASE? I love your stories!
I sometimes go with the “if I can’t see myself” look as well. Sweatpants are the best.
HA HA-I spend an inordinate amount of time avoiding the mirror! Sweatpants are great, but I lean in the yoga pants direction. Supposedly they look nicer…
The teeth grinding one is hilarious. And um…you should wear a crown everyday. Start a movement.
Tiaras are welcome too! 🙂
I subscribe to whatevers comfortable too. Love this post. Thanks for hooking up to the Hump Day Hook Up
Comfy rules!
You crack me up Sarah! I’m so challenged in the selfie department and I rely heavily on Picfx to glam ’em up a little. Or try to. lol
I do that more often than I care to admit. I use Picasa, which is sad because I have Elements, I just don’t know how to use it!
Love your fashion statement and your selfies! Your post had me ROFL! Right now I’m rocking out as I blog in a pair of dark blue flannel pants with a penguin print, and an oversized black and very old sweatshirt with a red down-to-my-knees t-shirt underneath … oh and fuzzy pink slippers. 😀 Found you on the Hump Day Hook Up and so glad I did. We fashionistas need to stick together! 🙂
Penguins! You can’t beat penguins! They are by far the best arctic animal. Sounds comfy and warm! I’m glad the reminder for the Hump Day Hookup came across my FB feed so I could link up. Most days I don’t even know what day it is anymore! LOL!
“freakishly big hand…” LOLOL. This was greatness! and uh…how did you hurt your head in a paper cutter? Do I really want to know this?
I wasn’t trying to cut off my head, I promise! I was moving it and the arm swung up and smacked me next to my eye!
Bwahaha, dying at your “freakishly big hand.” And also, I’ve heard that brown sweatpants are the new grey sweatpants. Way to stay on top of the trends! 😀 I am loving these selfies- I should have thought to share the awkward versions of mine that didn’t make the cut- ha!
They’re just sitting there, on my phone and/or computer. I figure it’s a form of recycling!
I love those rare moments when I feel good in my own skin … you contributed to those moments with this one! I am loving seeing all these Moms put the real back in reality. I think your beautiful and tie dye will never go out of fashion as far as I am concerned!
p.s. I suck at selfies too!!! I try to avoid them at all cost.
Thank you! This was so much fun. I can’t wait to see what else is linked up!
*snorks with laughter* I LOVE your flash-face selfies. The first time I ever took a selfie on a smartphone I DIDN’T KNOW it had a flash, and COMPLETELY spooked myself and got an utterly ridiculous photo out of it.
Hope your head’s better now 😀
I saw spots for quite some time afterwards. As a matter of fact I was getting a little worried that I’d permanently damaged my eyes!
And the head… better? That’s a matter of perspective, my dear Lizzi!
Better from the attack by the ninja-office-supplies :p
(I flash people in the eyes for a living…I can pretty much guarantee you’re fine)
Oh dear. I assume you just bonked the paper cutter but didn’t get cut? At least there’s that.
Yes-there was no cutting. But I still have a red mark by my eye! I checked it today-where the safety thingie is supposed to be there is very obviously a piece missing. I guess not something we should be lending out to the general public, eh?
LOL. First of all, I love the tie dye. ROCK IT GIRLFRIEND. Second, my favorite of the real selfies is the Cheesy one by far. You can just see your wry writing in that smile!
I was wearing tie-dye long before it was cool. Or maybe that was after it was cool the first time and before it was cool the second time! Aw thanks… you can thank Google Plus for that. Apparently it will make little collages of your photos if you take a lot that are similar. SO I downloaded it. Might as well do something with all of the not so good selfies!

Love the tye-dye and the freakishly big hand. Those paper cutters have a mean left hook. I am actually dressed today. GAH the selfie. I finally gave up, snapped the stupid thing and threw it out into the world.
Hooray for getting dressed today (as opposed to being naked, it’s much too cold for that!) Did you link it up? I will have to check it out!
I always have a freakish amount of extra chins in my selfies. Or my daughter is licking my face. One or the other. Love the post.
Those darn face lickers-they ruin the pics every time! 😀
I read this the day you posted it and I swear I commented. Apparently, I didn’t.
This is so funny! I love your self deprecation.
I think WordPress ate it.
Ahhhhh, nothing like a good selfie pic! The freakishly big hand is the best! Nobody can beat you at thumb wrestling!
AH! There is something positive about it! Thanks for helping me see the light! 😀
