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.
yes, i throw on one of my vintage pieces to help those feelings…..chin up lady….you can't feel defeated in an ensemble like this :)
ReplyDeletewhy vintage?
Deleteis 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.
ReplyDeleteAs 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.
uh yea, excuse my while i curl into a ball and die..
ReplyDeletebut for me, i wear something made of leather, jacket, skirt, shoes, pants, something thick and badass to protect me from the world
love this. I do the same thing w/ leather shoes and blazers. I love the idea of certain pieces protecting you from the world.
DeleteIn a few words, life can be crap. But embrace it like you are and you'll come out bigger and better.
ReplyDeletePlus, 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
