L-A: sweetjesusinabreadbasket. It is hot. It caused M.Dubs to text me the following:
it is hotter than Dutch love in my house.
I don’t know exactly what that means, but I do know that it means hot. The rising heat is reminding me of when M and I lived in Ghana together. At least you expected the heat and humidity there. It was sub-Saharan West Africa. Of course it is hot! But this? This is far north of the Sahara. Usually, when I go to the beach around here, I dip my toes in and complain that they are numb. Tonight, I was swimming and enjoying every minute of it. That means “warm” water people.
I am dying here. An email about shearling jackets this afternoon caused me to sweat just thinking about having anything fleece near my skin.
How are you feeling right now?
Drag the emoji to where you're at today.
Somewhere in the middle — and that's okay.
Chloe jacket: it's cute, but dear god! just the thought of it gives me heat stroke!
Of course, I am trying real hard not to complain about it (other than the above whine). Because I know this will all end soon enough. Hell, that warm water might just get us a Hurricane Earl this weekend (which, I don’t know, would be a little bit fun. I love a good storm).
Anyway, I’m trying to get through the day looking relatively cute and not a complete sweaty rumpled mess (which I was today). Because, what I really want my summer weather wardrobe to look like is what you see on the girls towards the end of this video:
Instead it’s unravelling into this:
Seriously. I feel like a hot mess. And not the good Christian Siriano kind.
Not cool. Not even a little bit. (p.s. I don’t actually watch Big Brother, but I know enough about it that it’s my go-to place for questionable things).
Any suggestions? Is it even possible to look cute when it’s 35 degrees + humidity? Or do I just have to sweat it out until mid-September. And seriously, suggestions welcome: because I’m going back to school on Tuesday and would like to have something cute to wear. (Remember when I was in a lousy mood the other day? Lousy mood banished!). Sweaty mess is not the way to make a good first impression.
