how to be the clunkster

Start with something tight, like a bodysuit. Tanks are preferred, but sleeves are fine too! We don’t discriminate here. Next, pick some tight pants, preferably leggings, and make sure they’re super high-waisted. Like, up to your boobs high-waisted. You should look like you’re in a catsuit with no wiggle room.

Then, pick some comically large outerwear. Bonus points if it’s a hand-me-down from your dad. Throw that over your all-black ensemble to make it pop. Next, pick some boots. My favorites are Timberlands, but whatever makes you happy! To top it all off, throw on some sunglasses that you’ll probably break in the next month, and pile on the mascara

There, you have it, you’re me! You did it! Have fun surviving on CapriSuns and Chipotle for the next month!

whatever floats your goat, pig, or sheep!

Happy November, everyone! This is one of my favorite months of the year: my birthday is on the 14th and Thanksgiving is coming up. Fall is my absolute favorite. I love taking in the seasonal shifts and inhaling pumpkin pie :) 

In true twenty-one-year-old-child fashion, I dragged my mom to the petting zoo at our local nursery! Going to petting zoos was one of my favorite fall activities as a kid. I would freak out over all the animals and insist that my parents keep giving me quarters so I could feed the goats and pigs. 

On this occasion, I provided my own quarters and had some touching encounters with a couple of sheep. A little boy and I made friends with an adorable pig who loved to be pet, and my mom was very surprised at how much goats love to climb. This is also when I informed her that goat yoga existed, and we had a discussion about the variety of tasks that goats can perform. 

After marveling at the assortment of beautiful birds, I resisted my urges to go down the Spooky Slide and went home with my mom. Little fall things like this make me so happy! 

How are you embracing the season? Let me know in the comments!

jacket. bodysuit. pants (by just-one). boots. sunglasses (use my code CLUNKSTER25 for 25% off your purchase!).

Brace yourselves: I’m not wearing black leggings.

Don’t worry, I haven’t (completely) lost my mind, I’m just trying to switch things up a bit! I’m always on here complaining about things I have that I love but never wear, so I decided to actually do something about that and wear these adorable funky pants that an ex got me as a birthday present. I may have bad taste in boys, but they have great taste in presents!

Usually I wear these leggings with a black crop top, but this time I wore a bodysuit, and I really loved the way it looked. I’ve actually never worn these pants with black boots before either, so I was really pleasantly surprised.

I topped this look off with my new denim jacket, which I’ve been absolutely obsessed with since I got it. I’ll spare you the details and profess my love for it in another post.

And last but not least, I wore my round Sunice sunglasses that I’m also obsessed with. I thought I lost them the other day and almost cried.

Hopefully, you’ll be seeing a lot more patterned pants around here. Where do you buy funky pants? Let me know in the comments!

you fit me better than my favorite sweater

Hey, angels! I hope this week has been awesome for everyone. I’ve been a little stressed with finals and life itself, but I’m pushing through, one nap at a time! In the meantime, I figured I’d share a look I’ve been wearing basically non-stop for a while now. I’ve been ridiculously into bodysuits lately, and I always love my high-waisted leggings.

I haven’t talked a whole lot about my new favorite sweater yet! I got it on a trip to the Duluth Trading Company’s headquarters in Burlington, MA with my dad! It’s where he gets a lot of his flannels, so a couple of my flannels are from there. I got this sweater in an extra large, so it was comfy and cozy. The next size up was way too big. But it’s so warm and comfy and I can’t take it off! I’ll make any excuse to wear it and I have been.

I went with my lighter Timberlands to add some ~color~ to the look. My hair is a little curly because I left it in a bun overnight! I really love when that happens.

Do you have a sweater you can’t stop wearing? Let me know in the comments!
