Self Portrait Challenge: What I Wear Week 4
joy necklace and curvy jeans, Canon Rebel XTI
I have been wanting to submit to the Self Portrait Challenge for ages and was inspired by some of my friends' entries this month. I am wearing my trusty superhero necklace in joy and my brand new jeans. I wouldn't normally mention who makes these jeans, but I was delighted to find a pair that fit my curvy booty! They are the Gap curvy jeans... apparently the ones that Oprah raves about.
And two other delights
Superhero necklace giveaway over at Design Mom this week! as well some other giveaways... So fun!
and the most wonderful photos I've seen in a long time (by Jan Von Holleben)

I am curvy and I *heart* gap denims. I've worn three pairs, exactly the same style, out. Out as in holes from so much wear. The first place to go, my thighs . . . of course!

Such a great look for you! Doin' the mama thing stylishly!
Posted by: kristine at November 29, 2007 08:50 AMw00t for jeans that fit! love your joy necklace - i wear my grass and sky all the time :)
quick question for ya: how are you able to hand-hold your camera and get such crisp shots? what settings do you use? (asked by a shaky-handed chick!)

Posted by: Strizz at November 28, 2007 08:49 AMyou look ravishing in those jeans! i'm currently on a jeans hunt again, it's such a pain to find a pair that is comfy, hot and fits just right. i think i will have to hit a GAP store one of these days. :)
Posted by: luzie at November 28, 2007 05:13 AMOh how I wish to have to get curvy jeans. You look smashing hot mama.
I wish they had thick middle jeans:)LOL

i think you look awesome
and i was admittedly so sad
to learn i had missed out on the
giveaway,
but i guess
with 701 comments, my chances were not so hot
anyhow...teehee...
you do awesomely beautiful jewelry.
You rock! I've always wanted to be able to wear a tank top but this look is sexy - you look good! I also love the back ground - your house looks so homey & nice.

Posted by: azura at November 27, 2007 05:15 AMDiscovery of a good pair of jeans is an event worth commemorating.
I have on my Joy necklace today, as I do almost everyday. Some days I wear it because I wake up joyful, somedays I wear it because I dont... putting it on is my wee ritual to remember that i can choose joy. Maybe, sometimes...
Every day I wear it because it is beautiful.

Posted by: Frida at November 26, 2007 10:51 PMI have to say, I clicked over here, and I was like, DAMN, those are some cute jeans! She looks cute! I'm not sure I'm curvy enough to fit into them, but I might try. See? Excuses to be curvy are great.
Posted by: Meg at November 26, 2007 09:16 PMThat is a mighty fine self portrait!
Of course, you wouldn't have posted it if it sucked.
The model is mighty slammin too.
hey gorgeous mama!!!
lovin' those curvy jeans ;-)
I have to chime in, I love Gap's Curvy jeans. In a sea of ultra low slim jeans, finally something that fits the booty!
Posted by: Stacia at November 26, 2007 07:10 PMYou should try the Gap "Essential" jeans too. They go especially well with my superhero chlorine necklace.
Posted by: Patricia at November 26, 2007 05:46 PMlove love the gap curvy jeans - can't wait to get back into mine!
looking hot mama :)

Posted by: stef at November 26, 2007 04:53 PMyou look very hot in those!
now if only we had gap here...
I bought a pair of those curvy jeans and I absolutely love them!
Posted by: geek-betty at November 26, 2007 03:51 PMYou've had way better luck with the Gap Curvy jeans than I. I was so excited when they came out, but they still fit like a cylinder on me - the waist is huge for me! Doh. I found Macy's Charter Club jeans work great for my big boo-tay.
Posted by: heather at November 26, 2007 03:29 PMVery nice picture! Those jeans look so comfy, and sexy.
I want my hair to learn what your hair can do.
