Defeated Dressing

Some days, 
I feel defeated. 

Not in a competitive sense, 
but in a I-literally-cannot-continue-to-function-due-to-a-series-of-unfortunate-circumstances-which-all-lined-up-in-a-row sense  -
something to which I'm praying you all can relate. 
On these days, there's a large part of me that longs for casual comfort (read: sweatpants) and nondescript underwear-worn-as-outerwear to get me through. 

Upon donning said items, however, I typically realize that the degree to which they actually add to my feelings of hopelessness detract from any visceral comfort they may initially provide. 
Enter: the hospital-attire-slash-sweatpant-slash-custodian-slash-olympian-slash-homeless person look I exhibit here. 

Sans heels, I admit, it's a little . . . drab. 
But pop on a pair of over-the-top-obnoxious heels and call it a better-than-it-was-before day. 
The key, for me, to an ideal pick-me-up outfit is incorporating the perfect degree of I-don't-give-a-shitness into it in order to counteract any suffering you're feeling inside. 
pants: thrifted, top: Anthro, shoes: Tibi
AKA: I throw on my pajamas with a pair of heels and go. 

You may not win any dates, 
but you'll sure as hell feel comfortable, which will, in turn, gain you confidence and happiness and wealth and a rich husband and etc etc

Anyone else have sartorial go-toes for the purpose of a pick-me-up?


Cheers.

      why vintage?
      is it like - if they could get through the depression, I can get through my #firstworldproblems ?
      or something else?

      thanks for the comment. Love hearing how you beat the defeat.

    If it helps at all, I feel defeated as well. I threw so many strong punches yet the universe kept striking enormous defeating blows on me.... So I feel you, a lot.
    As for the outfit, what makes me feel like a winner is wearing something quite ridiculous so I feel like I'm the only-fucking-one in this earth who deserves to wear such thing. Does it make sense? No? It's okay, it works, though :)

    Good luck, comrade!

      SUCH a good idea. I think I did this a bit, but I could definitely take it to the extreme. I wanna see what you wear.

    In a few words, life can be crap. But embrace it like you are and you'll come out bigger and better.

    Plus, your 'the hospital-attire-slash-sweatpant-slash-custodian-slash-olympian-slash-homeless person' look is still pretty fab, you always look good so don't worry, fashion has always got your back
