shirt (limited edition from Uncle Johnny's closet! but here's the saloon). turtleneck (similar). leggings. boots. sunglasses

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm Irish, so my family always spent this holiday together through the years. My grandma used to make the best Irish Soda Bread! I'm actually home again this weekend to see the heavy metal band Judas Priest with my parents for my dad's Christmas present! I'm really excited for the concert, and I'm so happy I get to spend some quality head-banging time with my mom and dad. 

Since my uncle passed away, I've been wearing a lot of his old clothes because they're super cool just like him! He got this one at the Broken Spoke Saloon, which is a bar around where my uncle used to ride his motorcycle. I held onto it because it was really cool, but also because I know it meant a lot to him. I don't know if you guys can see from the pictures, but the front is really simple, with just a pocket with a picture of a skeleton pumping gas and the words "Broken Spoke" over it. I like the back more. which kinda sucks when I'm wearing a jacket or flannel. But I still love the pocket!

I've been wearing my uncle's bigger shirts over my black turtleneck to stay warm, and because it just looks cool. Because this shirt is lighter than what I usually wear, I kept everything else pretty dark. I left my hair a bit messy, and kept my makeup pretty light. This is a pretty simple look, but one I love a lot! Enjoy your holiday everyone, please drink responsibly!

sweatshirt. leggings. boots. lipgloss (in sanctuary). 

I'm so excited to share this look with you guys! My parents have been making fun of me because I wear this outfit all the time. I got this Halsey sweatshirt for Christmas, and I fell in love. I originally asked for it so I could wear it as a dress, but it was a little too short. I ended up loving it as just a sweatshirt though! It's so soft and extra cozy because it's so big. 

My black leggings are perfect to wear with this sweatshirt because they're just black and simple, like my Timbs. I love doing my makeup when I wear this look though! I usually go with my Kat Von D lipgloss and play with the colors in my Urban Decay NAKED3 palette. The rose gold colors look so great with this lip color!

Overall, I love this look because it makes me feel like a badass, like Halsey, but it's so comfy (and warm!) that I really feel like myself. Thus, I've named this look "Cozy Badass." To all my other cozy badasses out there, I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

turtleneck (similar). flannel. leggings. boots. lipgloss (in sanctuary). 

New flannel alert! This one isn't a hand-me-down, but it's not a women's flannel. My parents know me too well. For Christmas, they searched for a Harley Davidson big men's flannel that I'd like, and they chose the perfect one :') Aren't they the best? For those of you who are new here, I've grown up in a Harley Davidson family, and I wear their merchandise with pride. 

You can only kinda see it in the pictures, but one side of the flannel has the Harley Davidson shield. It also says "Harley Davidson" across the upper back, which is super badass. Even though this flannel isn't old or worn, it's actually really soft and comfortable. I really love wearing it! I also really love the color. I have another red flannel, but it's really bright. This is more chill and muted.

The color goes with my Kat Von D lipstick perfectly! Ah, my Everlasting Liquid Lipstick, love of my life. Because these two colors existed perfectly together, I decided on muting the rest of my look. I wore a black turtleneck, black leggings, and black boots. I think this really let the two maroon colors pop and play off each other really well. And as a bonus, I was really comfortable.

Happy Monday! I really love this look, mostly because it's so comfy, but also because it's super chill. Now that it's starting to to get a wee bit warner, I'm gradually transitioning into wearing more spring-y clothes. It may be wishful thinking, but I don't care! The sun was shining! 

These pajama pants are so comfortable. One morning last year, I decided they were comfy enough to wear to class! They can actually pass as normal pants depending on how they're styled. I've found that they look best when the rest of the look is relatively simple, and black and white.

For this look, I decided to pair these pants with a simple black tank. I also threw on a simple, grey flannel just in case it got a little chilly throughout the day. It's that lovely type of year when your outfit can be great for outdoors, but horrible for indoors. I'm so sick of having to rip off layers of warm clothes because I'm sweating like a pig as soon as I get to class! 

Continuing with the theme of chill simplicity, I topped this look off with some straight hair, black Converse, and INDI by Katy Perry. I don't know if any of you have smelled INDI yet, but you're really missing out! INDI is Katy's newest scent, and it's one of my favorites. It really is different and unique. Find a way to get your hands on a bottle ASAP! Overall though, I was so comfy throughout the day and I'm so excited to be able to wear outfits like this regularly again!

jersey (i don't know i'm sorry!). turtleneck (similar). leggings. boots. perfume

Everyone has those days when they search through their full closet and feel like they have nothing to wear. I had one of those days last year, so one of my suitemates gave me his San JosΓ© Sharks jersey. I ended up loving it and wearing it all the time. I'm surprised I haven't posted about it until now! I actually got a boy's number on the T because I was wearing this jersey. He thought I was from California like him, and I'm not, but I got a boyfriend out of it! Thanks, Sharks!

I like wearing this jersey when its cold because it's surprisingly warm. All the patches make the jersey kind of heavy. It's fine when I wear it alone, but on colder days like today, I wear my turtleneck underneath and it still looks good. I wore my heavy, fleece-lined leggings, and my new Timberlands! I still need to make a post worshipping the two pairs of boots I just got for Christmas. 

And, I wore one of Katy Perry's perfumes, Killer Queen: Royal Revolution. For those of you who are familiar with the rest of Katy's fragrances, this one is like a mix of Killer Queen and Purr. I really love it! Lately, I've been wearing INDI, but I decided to switch it up a bit. Overall, I was super comfortable and warm today. I'm happy I could finally share this jersey with you all!
