I *Think* I Might Have a Problem

I Think I Might Have a Problem

October 27, 2009 at 5:41 am | In body image, float my boat | 66 Comments

But I can’t decide which is the bigger issue.

1) The fact that I keep taking self-portraits in public restrooms.

2) The fact that I went from owning zero belts to owning six.

Exhibit A

Red Belt

Exhibit B

Silver & Gold Belt

Exhibit C

White Belt

Okay so Exhibit B was taken in my own apartment bathroom. What is with me and the hand-on-hip pose? Also, I seem to want to wear heels or boots* all the time. WHO AM I?!

Hmm, I think I like her.

*I ordered new boots to replace the first ones that did not fit but they are on back order. Do I have bad boot karma or something?

If you’d like to read about my weekend adventure with Kaply, go visit her here.

Work it, Sizz, work it. You’re looking fierce. You’re sounding fierce. Now go out and be fierce!

How about the fact that you look so freaking skinny? Go you!

Comment by Hilly — October 27, 2009 #
You look super sassy and cute! Way to work those belts!

Comment by Jessie — October 27, 2009 #
You are super adorable and also quite fashionable!

Comment by Jess — October 27, 2009 #
The only issue here is that you are looking TOO hawt for your own good. ;)
Wait, no such thing. Tee hee.

Comment by wafelenbak — October 27, 2009 #

You really look great! I love the belt look :)

Comment by kilax — October 27, 2009 #
I think I like the second one the best. You look really good in blue :)

Plus, it’s less public restroomy.

Comment by Imnotbenny — October 27, 2009 #
You are looking absolutely fantastic. I think I need to try out the belted dress thing, so far I’ve steered clear of that one, but you may have just inspired me.

Comment by andrea — October 27, 2009 #
You look amazing, my friend!

Comment by Angella — October 27, 2009 #
i fail to see how this is a problem… ;-) go on with your sassy hand-on-hip self!

Comment by Alice — October 27, 2009 #
Damn Gina, You look fantastic!!!!!

Comment by Trix — October 27, 2009 #
you look AMAZING woman. I don’t own a single belt. Promise. This is inspiring me. xo

Comment by amy — October 27, 2009 #
Seriously, how cute are you? And it seems strange to see you without glasses. Did you end up ordering the boots from Avenue? I was worried about them too, for the same reason.

Comment by kim — October 27, 2009 #
The belts are adorable, you look wonderful and I love that soap dish!

Comment by em — October 27, 2009 #

Oh, you are just too adorbs for words. I want to be you. Look at you, snazzy dresser. And belter. LOVE. YOU.

(I mean all of this WAY less creepy than it reads, I promise.)

Comment by Jurgen Nation — October 27, 2009 #
I think you’re adorable, and that white belt looks great on you. I’ve been trying to buy/wear more outter/accessory belts as well, but failing.

Comment by Sarah — October 27, 2009 #
I love your belt fetish. I totally need A belt, singular because I seriously have NONE. (LAME, Kerri. Very lame.)

(Also: you are pretty. That is all.)

Comment by Kerri Anne — October 27, 2009 #
you’re looking so sassy and sexy!
now tell me where you got those belts because i need some new ones!

Comment by brookem — October 27, 2009 #
ur beautiful. Will you marry me.

Comment by mumbly — October 27, 2009 #
Yeah I really don’t see a problem. Only maybe you need more belts? And shoes? And handbags? Never take me shopping.
Oh and by the way, YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!

Comment by Marie — October 27, 2009 #
Love it! You look fantastic!

Comment by Sara — October 27, 2009 #
I love all 3 pics but #2 is my fave. Blue is awesome on you.

;)

Comment by Ashleigh — October 27, 2009 #
not to mention the MIXING up of color!
:>)

I’m pretty sure I love you, and if I ever move to Seattle, would like for you to be my best friend!

Comment by Sara — October 27, 2009 #
No problems as far as I can see!

As for boots, how about a quick fix that’s cheap and fantastic? Target has some absolutely fantabulous boots right now that are cheap, cheap, cheap and, strangely, fit EVERYONE I know in the calves.

If you’ve got an extra $25-35 I think you should add to your boot/heel collection and use it as a mild consolation prize until your expensive Goal Boots arrive.

You are so f**king cute!

Comment by simpleink — October 27, 2009 #
the red belt / purple dress combo is KILLER! looking good, lady :)

Comment by hillary — October 27, 2009 #
Damn I love your hair!!

Comment by mainlyclearskies — October 27, 2009 #
Can you please come back to LA and give me a fashion makeover? Maybe a whole body makeover actually? You are so dang cute and sassy and fashionable. I want to take pictures like you in public restrooms when I grow up!

Comment by Mel Heth — October 27, 2009 #
Belts are cool. Very Hip, Sizz. Very.

Comment by gibsondog — October 27, 2009 #
Um woman…you look AMAZING. So awesome on the weight loss and those belts really work for you!

Comment by ammanners — October 27, 2009 #
When I’ve lost 40lbs maybe I will be brave enough to post side-view shots.

MAYBE.

Comment by sizzle — October 27, 2009 #
I MADE THAT BELT WITH MY VAGINA.

Comment by Tracy Lynn — October 27, 2009 #
I lurrve the belts on you! So cute, stylish and waist defining!

Cute! Maybe I should go buy some belts….

Comment by serror — October 27, 2009 #
Somebody is FABULOUS!

Comment by Dumblond — October 27, 2009 #
Sizz – you look awesome with your waist defining belts – such a hottie…go you!

Comment by Foo — October 27, 2009 #
ok, thanks for clarifying bathroom location cuz i was gonna head for seattle and looke for the public restroom with a curling iron at the ready!

Comment by sambycat — October 27, 2009 #
I think they are….Belt-tacular! :-D heh.
I dunno, but I think the self portraits are a sign that you are actually liking the way that you are looking these days! Yay YOU!

Comment by Bully — October 27, 2009 #
PS. Exhibit B totally Wins.

Comment by Bully — October 27, 2009 #
Belts immediately make an outfit look better. Awesome. Be proud of the belts!

Comment by willikat — October 27, 2009 #
Lookin’ good, Sizz!

Boots are tough. Best pair I ever wore belonged to a friend of mine. Black, square toe, with chunky & crazy ~4 inch heels. My bad boot karma is my inability to pull the photographic evidence from either of 2 people, for, uh, years.

Good luck with your next pair whenever you get them!

Comment by claire — October 27, 2009 #
You look so happy and cute~ And your hair is adorable. xo

Comment by Rachel — October 27, 2009 #
Damn sister, you have lost some serious weight. You are looking awesome!

Comment by kapgar — October 27, 2009 #
This is America, damn it! Our Founding Fathers intended for us to have the freedom to take photos of ourselves in public restrooms. That’s why they left Europe and England in the first place, you know.

Comment by Gramps — October 27, 2009 #
I see these two items as wonderful tidbits, not problems! Hello, you are charmed enough with yourself to take pics anywhere and everywhere! My daughter does this and I think it speaks of great self esteem! And two. … belts. Nice fun and functional! hehe

Comment by Sigh — October 27, 2009 #
I’ve been known to whip out the camera in the bathroom too. I don’t know why, but it seems like a place that doesn’t get photographed enough.

Comment by egan — October 28, 2009 #
You are looking stunning Sizzle … and I’m loving the belts!!! However, I do find your need to photograph yourself in bathroom mirrors rather freakish ;-)

Comment by Sassy — October 28, 2009 #
Wow, you are looking super hot!

I am on the quest for perfect boots too and I feel like the world is conspiring against me. Someday I will have them…

Comment by radioactive tori — October 28, 2009 #
I’m late – I’ve been sick!
WOAH you look stunning!!! You still need to get over here and come boot shopping with me ;o)

Comment by Penelope — October 28, 2009 #
You look AMAZING!!!!!! You definitely live up to your name, Ms. Sizzle :-) Enjoy the week!!

Comment by Melissa from Ohio — October 28, 2009 #
That is awesome! I am inspired by your incredible fashion sense, as always. Go you!

Comment by justrun — October 30, 2009 #
Loving the belts! I got myself one for my birthday, what is it with belts these days? They are addictive!

Comment by Jen — October 30, 2009 #
LOVE that last picture

Comment by Cher — October 30, 2009 #
i totally love your short hair!!!!

Comment by noe — October 30, 2009 #
Wow, you look fantastic! The belt thing doesn’t work for me. I am jealous!

Comment by Stacey — October 31, 2009 #
I can’t pull off the belt. You, however, OBVIOUSLY CAN! Hot stuff!

Comment by Stevie — November 1, 2009 #
I love how comfortable and normal you look taking your own photos in the mirror (and you look quite smashing!) I always manage to look like I’m focusing too hard on trying to take the photo…this does not bode well for self-portraits.

Comment by Kat — November 15, 2009 #
Your hair is amazing!

Comment by Taylor — November 16, 2009 #
Public restrooms seem to be my favorite place for self-portraits, too. I have quite the collection.

But your collection of belts is much more impressive.
