top (from my cousin). bralette. shorts. sneakers. sunglasses.

Hello, my beautiful readers! I hope you’re having a lovely week so far. It’s been nice and sunny in Boston, which is a nice change from the humidity and rain we had for a bit there. I always prefer the sunshine.

Today, I’m featuring one of my favorite tops in my closet. It used to be my cousin’s, and you can definitely tell that it’s straight out of the 90s, between the colors and pattern - which I LOVE! They’re probably my favorite parts of the top. I also love how flowy and loose it is. It’s perfect for those hot days in the summer, but it’s not necessarily a crop top. Fun fact, it also has a pocket! 

I paired this top with my denim shorts and black Converse, and wore my new bralette! My old one is starting to get a little worn, so I got this cutie from Aerie a couple weeks ago. It’s a little shorter than my other one, but it has cups, so I have a little extra support, which is never a bad thing.

Comment the weather where you are!

top (clunkster original hehe). shorts (similar). sneakers. purse. sunglasses (use my code CLUNKSTER25 for 25% off your order!). perfume.

Hey cuties! I’m so excited to share this look with you all. While my mom and I were cleaning out my house, I found this top that I used to wear as a sleep shirt when I was little. It used to be massive on me, but as soon as I pulled it out of its bin, I knew it would look adorable as a crop top. 

I brought it back to Boston with me and took some scissors to it, and I’m so proud of the result! I took some others back with me so I can do the same. I love getting creative and crafty :’) 

High-waisted bottoms really complement how I cut the top, so I wore my black shorts and black Converse to match. I finished everything off with some 90s half-up-half-down pigtails.

Hello my loves! It’s only Tuesday, but for some reason, it feels like this week has been super long already. I’ve been weirdly exhausted and not in the mood to do a lot, which is good every once and a while, I just wish I had more energy!

Today’s look is a cute one because it features one of my favorite bands, Jesse and the Rippers ;) For those of you who don’t get it, this is love of my life John Stamos/Uncle Jesse’s band from Full House, which is one of my favorite shows in the world. A couple years back, my mom and aunt got me tickets to see the Off-Broadway show Full House: The Musical! starring Perez Hilton, and it was amazing. They had these shirts as merch, and I couldn’t not get one. It was originally a full tee, but in true Clunkster fashion, I cut it into a tank with wide sleeve openings. It looks adorable with my bralette.

I tucked this tank into my black shorts, wore my black Converse, and left my hair messy and long. To be honest, I didn’t even wear these retro sunglasses because they’re still broken, I just did it for the flatlay. Sidenote, does anyone know how you fix sunglasses? Do I just get one of those kits from CVS? Literally the entire arm is off. SOS. These are my faves.

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday, and that if it’s going super slowly for you too, things get better! See ya soon!

P.S. this post spawned a Full House marathon. Who knew it was on Hulu all this time?! I've been blessed. 

Hey Arnold!

shirt (no longer being sold at Primark). leggings. boots. lipgloss (in sanctuary). 

Hey Arnold! was one of my favorite shows growing up! When I saw this shirt while I was on line at Primark, I knew immediately that I had to have it. I bought the biggest size that was there and put it on as soon as I got home. I get so many compliments on this shirt! It’s a cute little reminder of our childhood.

You all know I love oversized stuff, so I love wearing this shirt. I always wear it with leggings, but I usually change up the shoes. On this particular evening I wore my black Timberlands, but usually I wear my black Converse, or these black high-tops I got from Primark a couple years ago. They’re so cute, but the soles are cracking. My hair always depends, too! Usually I’ll wear it down, but on bad hair days (like this one!) I may wear it half-up, half-down.

I also wore my Kat Von D lip color! This look would obviously look great with a neutral makeup look, but I also really like when I wear a dark lip color, especially if I’m wearing it out. I love that I can style all the components of this look differently and it’s always awesome, mostly because of how cool the shirt is. Not to mention it’s so comfortable and soft!
