Happy hump day, cutie pies! What have you done with the first half of this week? I’ve watched a ton of reality TV and did so much laundry. I also blew a fuse in my kitchen. That was fun.

I got this sweater at dELiA*s a whiiiile back and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. It’s super comfortable and really, really heavy, which is perfect for the colder temperatures of this lovely season (by the way, it was in the 60s in Boston for the past two days, but now we’re back down to 30 degrees. What a tease.). These spikes are just so cool. This sweater is relatively old, so they’re loose and falling off a little, which is sad. But you know I’m gonna wear it to absolute death.

I wore my black Timbs with my fuzzy leggings. I recently learned that I should be hand-washing these particular leggings, and I wonder if that’ll make them last longer. I’m experimenting with one of my pairs, so stay tuned!

My hair was in a bun when I took this photo because I was having a horrible hair day! The bun looked cuter in person, but in this picture, I look like a goth founding father. Life is like that sometimes. But I actually put a ton of effort into my makeup because a sweater this extra deserves makeup that’s just as extra. It’s go big or go home with this beauty. I don’t think I’ve ever not worn my Kat Von D lipstick with it!

Happy Hump Day! I hope so badly that you’re staying toasty in this arctic weather. I don’t know why I made the decision to move to a cold place instead of running away to Florida or California, but you know what they say, the grass is always greener. You guys are probably sick of hearing me complain about the weather by now.

One way I stay cozy in these sub-zero temperatures is by wearing this sweatshirt and never taking it off, ever. I got it for Christmas last year and I wear it literally all the time. I love it so much because it’s Halsey merch, but also because it’s so big and cozy, which keeps me nice and warm. I like to layer shirts underneath it too so I’m extra warm.

Another is by wearing my fuzzy leggings to death! I have a gazillion pairs because they’re seriously a ride or die item for me. They’re high-waisted too, which gives me another half layer on my torso. Every little barrier against the cold helps!

My Timbs are really great in the cold too since they have a ton of traction against the snow. They’re really weather-resistant, too. And they go with everything. Timberlands take up a chamber of my heart.

I style this sweatshirt and leggings in a lot of different ways, but this is definitely one of my favorites. My Kat Von D lipstick just looks awesome with this sweatshirt, so I love to wear them together a lot. What are some winter items you can’t live without? Let me know in the comments!

"vintage, super cute!"

tank top (my uncle's!). bralette. leggings. timberlands. sunglasses (similar).

It was warm last week! I wore a tank top! Well, it’s a huge tank top, but it doesn’t have sleeves! That’s a start! This is actually my uncle’s. He passed away this past summer, so I inherited a lot of his clothes. I wore my bralette underneath, which I especially needed because the sleeve openings are super low (which I love).

I wore my high-waisted leggings, and my lighter Timberlands. I basically looked like my uncle when he went to work, especially when he had long, brown hair like me. My makeup was super light, and I sea salt sprayed my hair! The combination of the tank top and natural hair and makeup keeps things casual and cute! I wore this to my friend’s dance show.

I feel like I say it every time, but I just can’t wait for more summer-y looks! It’s been cold for five months straight now and it’s getting annoying! Summer’s my favorite season. What’s yours? Comment below!

yes, another flannel

Outfit of the DayKristenComment

flannel (i have no clue i'm so sorry). shirt (i think it's armani?). leggings. boots. lipgloss (in cairo). 

Hello my loves! Here’s an outfit I’ve been wearing a lot lately. I love it so much because it’s chill, comfy, and warm. I think it’s the perfect snowy day outfit because it keeps me warm, but lets me chill out and be comfy cozy. Essentially, I can feel curled up in front of my fireplace when I’m actually in a lecture that Emerson didn’t cancel!

I started with this plain, long-sleeved white shirt that used to be my cousin’s. It’s a little bit looser, and soooo comfortable. I wore it with my typical warm black leggings and one of my dad’s flannels he gave me a while ago. I love the color and pattern of this one, and it’s super soft! I typically wear this one with this shirt because they complement each other really well, and because they’re just so cozy together. It’s like an explosion of softness.

Last but not least, I wore my tan boots and my matching tan scarf, which I briefly lost in the Providence mall two weeks ago and cried until I found it outside Nordstrom. This super squishy, soft scarf is the cherry on top of this beautifully cozy ensemble.

I also love this look because it can be worn with really any hair and makeup since it’s so understated. Today I chose to let my hair down and went with a more natural makeup look, but I’ll also wear this outfit a lot on super lazy days with my hair in a bun and a bare face, and it still looks great!

Everyone has that one outfit that makes them feel warm and cozy even on the coldest, wettest days, and I’m so happy I got to share mine with you! How are you staying warm this winter? Let me know in the comments!

I'm Wearing Pants?

Sweater (no clue I'm sorry). Jeans. Boots (no longer being sold at Primark).

We’ve got a simple look for today! I'm absolutely in love with this turtleneck! I'm disappointed that I haven't worn it a ton this winter. I chose to pair it with a simple pair of jeans. I know, I’M wearing jeans?! It's definitely weird, but I'm getting used to them. They're perfect for the cold weather that' occurs in Boston. I'm also wearing my long-sleeved Under Armour underneath my turtleneck and a pair of stockings under my jeans for maximum warmth. I threw on my typical Clunkster boots as well.

Makeup is relatively normal today, except I have weird red rings at the bottoms of my eyebrows because I did a hardcore tweezing this morning. I'm also very happy with the way my blush came out since it's been a bit wonky lately.

I put my hair in an excessively high pony since I do that when my hair looks gross, and because I absolutely love the way ponytails look with turtlenecks for some reason. Maybe it's one of my levels things, I don't know.

Anyway, I love this look, and I hope you'll be seeing more of this turtleneck in the future!
