The Clunkster

Typical Clunky

Shirt (no longer being sold at dELiA*s). Skirt (different color). Stockings. Sunglasses (similar). Sweater (no longer being sold at The Gap). Boots (no longer being sold at Primark).

Today’s looks is typical Clunkster. I really love it! First, I started with my denim skirt, since it was kind of chilly out, but not terribly. Then, I added my long-sleeved black shirt, which I haven’t worn with my skirt before. I really loved the way it looked, and I threw on my grey sweater.
As I was making my tea for the morning though, (fun fact I just learned that I’m obsessed with tea oops) I felt like something was missing. I put on stockings and boots, and to be honest, I wasn’t feeling myself too much.

Then, I realized that my skirt wasn’t cooperating with me. I think since I’ve been at school, I’ve lost some weight, and my skirt doesn’t sit perkily on my waist anymore. I did my little bobby pin trick, and all was right with the world.

Unfortunately, my bobby pins didn’t stay up forever, but at that point, I really didn’t care. I ended up severely ripping my stockings later, but it looked really cool. I kept my jewelry and makeup normal, but since I finally washed my hair, that was a little messy, but I think it went with the look. Overall, this is Clunky af, also a beautiful flatlay, so I’m a happy camper.

You guys, once the puffer vest comes out, you know it’s officially fall. It’s the classic long-sleeved shirt, puffer vest, jeans, and boots. The outfit is kind of a cliche for a reason. It’s the perfect transition outfit. It’s getting a little more chilly, so people wear longer sleeves. Since you want more protection around your chest, you pick a cute vest that usually has really big pockets. Jeans and boots are just staples of fall.

In my little Clunkster version of this classic outfit, I wore a super tight shirt, MIchael Kors vest, classic skinny jeans, and my workboots. Since my hair was gross, I threw it up in my half-up-half-down, and I kept jewelry and makeup normal.

There’s not much to say about this. It’s relatively “basic,” but I feel cute and that’s what matters.

So, I guess this is a little bit of a Sorority Sunday. This morning, I participated with my sorority in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Boston! I love participating in this walk because fighting breast cancer is extremely important to me, since my grandma died of it before I was born.

Obviously, I wanted to show my support for fighters through my outfit. I started with my black jeans, which were heavy, but I still wore stockings underneath since it was pretty chilly today and we were walking by the water. I wore a tank top, that I tucked into my jeans, and a Support the Cure sweatshirt that’s a little short on me, but it looks cute. I finished it off with my varsity jacket, which was nice and warm!

At first, I had my hair in my half-up-half-down look. However, when I put my beanie on to cover my ears and represent my ~school pride~, there was a weird bump on top of my head from my ponytail holder. I looked like a triceratops. So, I took my greasy hair down and hid it with my beanie. I completed my look with bright pink lipstick and my boots!

I'm Running Out of Outfit Titles

Dress. Kimono. Boots (no longer being sold at Primark). Sunglasses (similar). Stockings.

Today, I wore something that equal parts sexy and innocent. Everyone knows that I love my little black dress, but now that it’s getting a little colder, I don’t just want to wear my dress. So, I wore it with my favorite kimono that I love more than anything but don’t wear enough. I also wore my stockings and workboots! I was trying to figure out what to put on my feet for a while, but after I put on my boots I was set.

So far, the look is relatively sexy, but I feel like the half-up-half-down style that I have adopted as my own made it a little more innocent. I added the choker, which is kinda sexy, but since it reminds me of the 90s, I think it’s a little more innocent, especially with my hair the way it is.

My makeup was normal, as well as my jewelry. I layered my choker with my short elephant necklace. I really loved this look, and I would definitely wear it to parties in the future.

Sweater and Boots (no longer being sold at Primark). Jeans. Headband. Sunglasses (similar). 

Another sweater! It really is sweater weather! Today, I wore one of my favorite sweaters that I bought at Primark last year. Fun fact, it’s men’s! It’s so comfortable and soooooo warm. I wore it with my blue jeans and work boots, which are also from Primark. I’m pretty sure I bought this sweater and these shoes at the same time.

For some reason, I really like the way this headband looks with this sweater. I think I just did it one day last year and really liked it, and it just stuck. I think this is more of a retro look, for reasons I don’t quite understand. It just kinda gives off that vibe.

My hair was technically straight, but it’s starting to get dirty and frizzy, which you can’t really tell with the headband. I love headbands, and hate washing my hair, so that works out well. My jewelry was also normal, except I didn’t wear a necklace again since again, you can’t even tell if I’m wearing one. My makeup is normal as well. Lately, it’s been a little lighter since I’m running out of foundation. I like it! I like this. I felt very good today.
