Sweat Surrender

It's hard to find the strength to dress up, or dress at all for that matter, when your apartment is like an oven and the world outside is a sweaty, grimy, sticky concrete jungle. When preparing for the day, certain unpleasantries must be taken into account: How hard is it going to be to wash the sweat out of this? Should I go sleeveless, thereby avoiding pit stains, or is it worth the risk of eventual deodorant failure and subsequent personal stink factory?

I have primarily given up on trying to look "nice" or "put together" for the time being in any sense of the words, but yesterday I pulled out this pretty little old blouse that I found in a friend's giveaway bag last year. It's already a bit stained and going to shreds, so I figured a little more wear and tear wouldn't really make that much difference.

And now, of course, it's absolutely pouring rain outside and I'm stuck at a pet-sit with no umbrella. Hmmm...so maybe this is the excuse to wear rain boots with a bikini that I've been looking for??
