shirt (Gamma exclusive, sorry bbs!). vest (from Marshall’s, by Michael Kors). leggings. sneakers. perfume.

Hey cutie pies, is anyone else’s weather doing all types of things lately? As I always say, I don’t care which season Mother Nature picks, as long as she picks one. We’ve been flying back and forth between sunshine and heat and rain and humidity. I’m not a fan.

What do I always break out during transitionary weather patterns? My puffer vest! Well, this look is actually super old, but I figured it was relevant. Sometimes it can be so hard to dress for weather that can’t make up its mind. I usually stick to layering and dressing comfortably. There’s nothing worse than being soaking wet and wearing those pants that are too tight but make your ass look bangin’ (seriously just donate them already there are so many fish in the sea bb).

Anyway, this look also features one of my favorite sorority shirts. The Alpha class got these when we first colonized, and to make things even more ~vintage~, only a couple girls got them. It makes me feel really special :’) I wore my fuzzy leggings and black Converse (white Converse usually look cute with this top but these look better with the black vest), and put my hair in a half-up-half-down style.

We can get through this insane weather, loves! Only two months until summer! As they say, April showers bring May flowers, so I’m not giving up hope.

got denim?

Nope. None. Well, that’s an exaggeration. I have a ton of pairs of Charlotte Russe jeans in all different colors that I tell myself I’ll need to wear at some point in my life. Sometimes, I do! Just two months ago I wore my blue jeans for a photoshoot for work, and last Halloween I wore my tan jeans when I was Rey from Star Wars. But aside from when I take them out to play, my jeans always stay in the chest of clothes that I only wear once in a blue moon.

I don’t have anything against jeans, I’ve just always had a problem finding some that fit me perfectly. I’ve been on the hunt for a good pair of baggy boyfriend jeans for a while now with no luck (if you know of a good pair, tell me in the comments!). I have a small waist, big butt, and thick thighs, so jeans just aren’t comfortable. I stockpiled all those pairs of Charlotte Russe jeans because they fit me the best.

But skinny jeans aren’t as cute as they once were, and I obviously prefer leggings. I wore this look to a Denim themed mixer (the last one I ever went to, RIP), and I’m pretty proud of how I dressed the theme while not dressing it at all. Believe me, I was really making the effort to wear jeans, but I was just thinking about having to peel them off of me when I got home later that night, and I knew that leggings were the way to go. I was so so comfortable and extremely warm! These fleece lined leggings will have my heart forever, to be honest.

I wore my black turtleneck and black boots, and last but not least, my denim vest. I got this from dELiA*s a while back and I’m so disappointed that I haven’t worn it more, so shoutout to our social chairs for bringing it back from the dead!

As far as my hair and makeup went, I kept things fun and basic with a half-up-half-down look and some pretty neutral makeup. I wore one of my new favorite lipstick colors that I’ll be reviewing soon!

What’s your favorite mixer theme? Let me know in the comments (and I’ll tell Gamma’s social chair)!

Basic

Vest. Shirt (no clue I'm sorry). Leggings. Boots (no longer being sold at Primark).

This is an older look that I've been meaning to post for a while. It doesn't really give off the springy vibe that we should be feeling in April, but it's still cute! I wore this outfit on a lazy Sunday, and I think it's the perfect off-duty-but-not-giving-up look, if that makes sense. Everything I wore was super comfortable, and it made me look put-together enough that I could go outside and people wouldn't judge me. I'm happy that my basic bitch vest can make another appearance!

Sorority Sunday!

Sweatshirt. Leggings. Boots (no longer being sold at Primark). Vest

It’s the first Sorority Sunday of 2017! Gamma was by far one of the best parts of my 2016, and something I’m so happy to begin my 2017 with. I just got this sweatshirt for Christmas, and it’s so comfy! I haven’t taken it off. I wore my puffer vest over this since it’s a little too chilly to just wear a sweatshirt. I wore this with my leggings and boots for a typical Clunkster look.

In this photo, my hair and makeup are done, but this has also been my lazy Winter Break uniform. I just can’t get over how comfortable I am in this!

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.
