The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who hates wardrobe paradoxes.

 This is gonna seem so a) random and strange and b) shallow but I feel like I'm definitely not the only one who must have noticed this. Or at least, when you think about it, you'll know what I mean. Probably the girls moreso than the guys, too xD.

So I was just outside feeding my horsey and it was raining, around 80+ degrees, and you could cut the humidity with a knife. Then I came back in, showered, and now I'm trying to figure out what to wear.
But, I appear to be a victim of what I'm coining as the 'Rainy Summer Day Outfit Paradox'.

See, it's raining. So instinct says jeans, socks, and sneakers (or my plaid galoshes :D) so my feet/legs don't get wet and muddy from puddles. But it's 80 degrees and humid! Bleck! So i'm probably more comfortable in shorts and a tank-top, but I just feel strange wearing something like that in the middle of a thunderstorm. I guess capris and sneakers are probably the most logical conclusion for that half. Capris are as wonderful at compromising as Henry Clay, but in this case it's the kind of compromise where no one's really happy :P.
But then on top. Do I go with a hoodie for the hair protection? But it'll still be far too warm! So then a t-shirt or tank, again? Still feels too sunny-weather.
THEN we have to account for where we're actually going. At the theater where rehearsal is tonight, they crank the A/C up like crazy because the stage lights are so hot, and during a performance a packed theater is hot. But at rehearsal when there's only 30 of you that are sitting in the audience at any given time, it's chilly! A lot of people who aren't concerned about electricity bills also freeze their houses this time of year. So then maybe it WOULD be better to go with jeans for when you're indoors. Ugh. It's impossible to say!

On the plus side though, it is an excuse to break out a pretty umbrella. I recently got a cute pink and orange paisley one :D.

So yeah. Just something that I realized, that the rest of you might find axiomatic as well. If anyone has something they've discovered to overcome this, I'd always love a hand xD. And please do note that although this is a bit of an inconvenience, I still prefer rainy summer days over freezing cold winter ANY day of the week ;).

♫: Anything from Legally Blonde the Musical. I watched it for the 5th time on YouTube today, still love every bit of it :D.
