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.
