Happy July, babes! Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year? It doesn’t even feel like summer. Thanks, Coronavirus! I’ve been trying to make the most of the nice weather by going on walks, hanging out in my backyard, and enjoying some outdoor dining. 

This look has been a go-to for a while now. You all know I live in my bodysuits, but I’ve been switching it up with my cashmere joggers. If you’ve never worn cashmere pants, I’m begging you to at least try a pair on. They will change your life. They’re a little pricey (okay, a lot pricey), but I have no regrets and you won’t either. 

I usually add a flannel to this insanely comfy look. My chambray shirt has been my favorite lately since it’s so lightweight. And to make things even more comfy, I throw on my Ugg moccasins.

Hello, my beautiful readers! Once again, I’m very sorry for the lack of posting. I’m still getting used to my crazy workload and settling into my new apartment, which explains my new selfie surroundings! My camera is also currently malfunctioning, so you guys get some old-fashioned iPhone photos for a bit.

Here’s a look I wore a little while ago that I really loved. I felt like I was heading to a ballet class, and it made me really miss my dance days. I’m not sure if I’ve ever talked about it here, but dance was literally my entire life for about twelve years. I took dance as a class in high school, and I did Kickline and Cheer on and off until last year too. I really miss it :(

To be filed in the Things I Never Wear But Love When I Do folder, my leotard! I always talk about how much I love my bodysuits, so I’ve been trying to wear them more, but I haven’t taken this cutie out for a spin in a while. She’s a little ~cheeky~ because the leg holes (??? you know what I mean) are kinda high, so my hipbones peek out a bit over my lighter leggings.

It wouldn’t be a Clunkster bodysuit look without some form of outerwear. Of course, I went with one of my many grey sweaters. I absolutely love the silhouette of this lighter one. It’s so comfortable and looks great with the leotard and leggings. And, of course, it’s very ballerina-esque.

I wore my insanely comfy moccasins, which I also don’t wear enough. My feet have been killing me lately from walking all over the city in my Converse. I threw my hair in a bun in true prima ballerina fashion, left my face bare, and called it an extremely comfy day.

Do you dance? What kind do you do? Let me know in the comments!

tank top (by Basil Lola). leggings. moccasins. perfume. lip crayon (in Outback Oasis).

Happy Memorial Day! Though it’s fun to appreciate the three-day weekend and sales, remember that every day is Memorial Day for people who have lost loved ones fighting for what they believe in. This day can be difficult for them, so remember to show them some love today!

I’ve been taking it easy before I start working for the summer, and I keep forgetting that I actually have stuff to do. It’s been a nice mental vacation, but I need to get back into the swing of things! Here’s a look I wore to go shopping a couple days ago.

Now that it’s nicer out, I can wear different things! This tank top is a hand-me-down from my cousin, and I love it. It’s super comfy and relatively casual, but the lace at the bottom just adds a little something extra. I wore my thinner leggings since temperatures are rising, and my Ugg moccasins that I haven’t worn in forever! I always forget just how comfy they are.

I did some pretty basic makeup, including my new obsession, my Burt's Bees lip crayon, and put my hair in a braided ponytail. I also wore Katy Perry’s Meow! perfume, which is one of my favorites by her. It smells just like cotton candy! I loooooove scents, so I’d love to start writing more about them here. Let me know if there are any perfumes you want me to review! I always love an excuse to buy things :’)

Bralette. Leggings (similar). Moccasins. Sweater (no longer being sold at The Gap).

Who needs a shirt when you've got a bralette? If you've been following me for long, you understand my philosophy. This photo was taken waaaaay back at the beginning of this past school year (RIP), but I figured it was relevant since it's hot as all hell on Long Island right now, and I really haven't been a big fan of shirts. Really, a bralette is just like a crop top or bikini top. It's adorable and ornate, so it could totally pass. And even if it doesn't, I don't care, I'm wearing it anyway. In past looks, I've worn bralettes without anything, but this time I added my Clunkster gray sweater. 

I really miss these leggings. They're so so comfortable, but completely ripped down the inner thighs since my thighs are muscular and rub together a lot. I definitely got good use out of these leggings. They made my ass look fire. My moccasins are also super comfy. Overall, this is a really comfy look with a little big of sex appeal, I guess.

Way back when I was in a relationship, I stole my boyfriend’s flannel and wore it literally every night until we broke up. I also wore it during the day, and I began incorporating it into a lot of my outfits. So, when I gave him his flannel back, there was a hole in my heart, not for him, of course, but for his flannel!

So, my dad gave me a couple of his that he didn’t wear anymore, since he’s a construction worker and he has a billion. One was bright blue and really cute, and another was just plain black which is really cool every now and then, but this one’s my favorite because it’s relatively neutral, so I can wear it with a lot.

“Male” flannels are so much better than “female” flannels because they’re legitimately more comfortable! They’re made to fit an actual body, not a mannequin. My dad’s specifically are fabulous because he’s a bigger guy, so I’m basically swimming in fabric. It’s amazing. And the pockets are so generous!

You guys know I love it when my outerwear is longer than what I’m wearing. I love wearing this flannel with dresses because it’s a perfect dress length! It also takes fancy dresses down a notch, which is lovely.

I figured I wore this flannel occasionally, but since we just went through midterms week at school, I was being super lazy and just wanted to be comfy, so I ended up wearing this flannel a lot. I figured it out because when I was at an event where the new members of my sorority had to describe sisters without using their names, they kept giving “flannels” as a clue. I’ll take it!

Moral of the story: don’t let a boy cramp your style. Clunk that.
