I love autumn, BUT
October 17th, 2007
1) It’s nowhere near chilly yet
B) I have a sweating problem!
So of course I’m going to wear my festive summer sleeveless “blouses” as long as I can, even if it becomes November. 60-70-degree temps are MY TIME TO SHINE in my summer tops, because it’s just chilly enough not to sweat buckets at a time while wearing them. People keep gaping at me on the street, horrified that I’m not following an unspoken rule that as soon as October hits, you’re supposed to dress in as many strategically tiered layers as possible. They’re like whoa, that chick can’t let go of summer. Dudes, it’s 75 degrees out. I have awesome fall clothes too! I just don’t want you to see my pit stains yet. We have the entire winter for that party! AND YOU’RE ALL INVITED.
I call bullshit on premature autumnal layering!
Oooh — In conjunction with this lame-ass post, my arms are flyin’ high in that “user photo” at the top right, as if to say, “Check out the totally dry underarm regions of my shirt!”

holla sweating problem!
I suggest a roomy black zip-up hoodie. You can take it off as soon as you start sweating onto it, and put it back on if you get really cold, constantly adjusting the roomy sleeves to avoid staining a particular area. Etc.

I’m all about short sleeves year-round. I’m always warm. And I’m short, so it’s almost impossible to find shirts with sleeves I don’t have to roll up. Because THAT looks so good.

you would love los angeles, where it stays 75 degrees well into february.

Oh riese, it’s almost as if I left that comment for myself. I do that all the time, and then I get paranoid that people might be noticing how many times I take the hoodie on and off. I worry that they think I’m trying to seduce them. Which, since i have minimal to no game… maybe I am?
Heather, you roll up short sleeves? Like, folded under/in, or on top of/outside the rest of the sleeve? Sorry about that last sentence.
Shain, I would. But I feel like people in L.A. have this horrible, trashy style that everyone ends up following even if they don’t intend to. Women specifically. I could go on and on about this. Maybe if I ever update my blog again.

Well… you might not nervously sweat so much if you’d just give Ellen’s poor dog back.

Remember the guy with the reindeer sweater in Union Square? The thought of that cable net disaster still makes me cringe.
