And I managed to look like a total hipster kiddo. Well, not the pose, but....
Urban Behavior cardigan. Target t-shirt. Zara jeans. Claire's scarf. Converse sneakers. Forever 21 belt and sunglasses (which don't worry, I didn't actually wear on that downcast day...).
Someone suggested I try looking away from the camera. I don't really think that helped. FYI, I don't actually look like that in real life. A better representation of what I actually look like is evidenced in my current Facebook profile pic:

Hello, Frankie and Victoria, me being awkward, bad lighting, and Photobooth! It won't let me make it any smaller... gah. You'll have to click to see the whole thing. But my point is, my face isn't actually that scary.
