What to Wear on a Book Cover? [Heeeellllpppp Meeeeee!!!!]

Good news! I have a pub date for my book. The Great Fitness Experiment (tree-killer edition) will be on shelves Dec. 1st! Just in time to buy a copy for everyone on your Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Christmaskuh list.

Scary news! They want me on the cover. I voted for Giselle but apparently she's out of our budget. Le sigh. I just found out yesterday that my photo shoot is tomorrow. Pro: No time for any crazy crash dieting. Con: WHAT DO I WEAR??? I can't even dress my preschooler in matching clothes much less make myself look good.

Please help me out! Here are some possible options with a handy dandy poll at the bottom to vote for your fave.

Keep this in mind:
- Ignore the hair. Yes I lopped 10 inches off but it is naturally curly and will be curly for the shoot tomorrow.
- Ignore my inability to focus the camera.
- Ignore all the white spots all over me - they're from my dirty bathroom mirror.
- My bathroom has a skylight, hence all the weird lighting.
- I'm going for realllly basic. I don't want to wear any of my kooky clothes (99% of my wardrobe, honestly) because I'm afraid I'll look back at this in 10 years and have a Jane Fonda-Leotard moment of horror.
- If you don't like any of the options, feel free to give me suggestions in the comments!! (Although anything with the phrase "just a sports bra" will be laughed off the page.)
