Throwback Thursday!

Here’s an older outfit from November. Birthdays are great because you get a lot of clothes! My friend got me these cool tribal leggings, and I'm actually in love with them. I've told you all that I've been wanting to experiment with tribal pants more!

Though I wanted to wear a crop top with these (someday, someday…), it's kinda cold, so I wore a plain white tee instead. I thought wearing something else would be a sensory overload. Since I was a bit cold and wanted to be cozy, I wore my signature grey sweater.

My boots also came out to play, which looked so much better than I anticipated. My makeup was relatively light, and my hair was super frizzy since I had just washed it. My jewelry was also normal. I put on a choker after I took this photo, which looked pretty cool too.

Wear the World!

I really miss repping for Serengetee! Thankfully, I can still rock their freakin' amazing clothes. I got this crop top for Christmas, and I love it so much! It's perfect to go out or just to hang out in. I think it's super sassy and edgy. It looks perfect with my bralette too! The high-waisted leggings look great with it as well, which is perfect because that's one of my favorite looks.

My grey sweater is making its usual appearance as well! I wore this look with my moccasins, keeping it super comfy. I also rocked my vamp lip, which looked great with the orange of the pocket. I just really love this look as a whole and I can't wait for it to get warmer so I can wear it more!

Oh Stop It, I'm Blushing!

One day, I was hanging out at my sorority sister’s room getting ready for a party. I wanted her to redo my makeup, but she just gave me some blush and I felt like my face entirely changed. I didn’t feel pale and gross anymore. So, I decided to buy some for myself, and since I trust e.l.f. with basically anything, I bought from them.

What I’m Using Now: e.l.f. Angled Blush Brush, e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette

When I first bought this blush, I neglected to buy a brush, like a dumbass. I tried putting it on with a tissue, but that severely backfired. I ended up buying a brush, which made things a lot easier.
What I really liked about this blush was that it came with four different shades. The first time I tried this blush with the brush, I used the darkest shade, but it didn’t look very good. It could’ve been because I put on too much, but whatever. Now, I’m using the lightest shade, which I really like. The brush helps a lot too. I got the angled one, so everything is a lot more precise. I learned the other day, fun fact, that the lower your hand is on your makeup brush, the more lightly the makeup on the brush will be applied. This changed my entire life!

Honestly, I can’t even imagine my face without blush now. It’s such a slight detail that really makes a big difference. I can’t wait to experiment some more!

Hello my loves! I am super excited to announce another brand partnership: Revelry Greek!

Revelry is a shop that specializes in outfitting sororities (bridesmaids too!). They aim to help sororities accurately represent their organization in a cohesive way while also managing to preserve each sister's individuality. Revelry offers a variety of styles in tons of beautiful colors. Honestly, I want to buy every single thing on the website. I have a couple pieces that you guys will totally be seeing on the Clunkster!

This one is hands-down my favorite: the Quinn dress. I have an older version; the one that's coming out for next season has a hem that goes up on the sides a bit to ~dress it up~. First of all, this dress is soooooo comfortable. I fell asleep in this dress the other night and I slept like a baby. I absolutely love the shape it gives me. I'm more prone to wearing tight dresses, but every now and then I can rock a flowy one like this one!

Also, fun fact, your sorority can screen print designs on these dresses!!! Whaaaaaaaat?! Yeah. I know. They're freakin' awesome.

This dress is super cool because you can wear it in a bunch of different ways (that you'll be seeing on the blog!!!). I chose to wear it with my black tights and signature Clunkster boots. I threw on a flannel and a choker, because that's who I am. See what I mean? You can style these pieces however you want and preserve your individuality. It doesn't get any better than that.

As you all know, I like to be just a ~little~ bit extra most of the time. So, when my friends and I are going out and I'm told be dress casually, I kind of freak out. For me, party mode means getting super dolled up and looking hot to have fun! Thankfully, I found an outfit that makes me feel flirty and ready for fun while also making sure that I'm not doing too much.

This outfit was the first time I wore this shirt, which I got from my cousin. Like my red one, it has a little bit of an open back and is relatively low cut, which I loved. I know you can't really tell from the selfie, but the bralette looks amazing with the shirt! I wore my jeans because I was trying to be ~casual~, and they looked good, which was a surprise. In true casual fashion, I wore my Converse (which are nice and clean now since I got new ones!). 

Because this shirt was so low-cut, I wore a choker. When I wear chokers, I usually put my hair up, but I'm happy I left it down. I think this look is like girl-next-door, but with a bit of an elevated twist. My makeup is normal, as well as the rest of my jewelry. I can't wait until it gets nicer again so I can wear this out without freezing my ass off!
