HIGH FASHION ON A LOW BUDGET


Hello babies, it's SPRING and I'm back on my bullshit. Living in New York is stressful as hell sometimes if you compare your style to well...everyone else. I'm surrounded by queens who seem to be able to afford designer outfits from head to toe. But don't worry, because I'm here to spill all my secrets on how to look sleek as fuck on a budget. 

Heres what I'm wearing: 

Aritzia bodysuit- 15$ on depop (Retails for 48$)

Ganni Leopard Print Palazzo Pants- 60$ at Buffalo Exchange Williamsburg (Retails for 375, you can find it at the RealReal in the 150-200 range)

RocAustralia Cashew Platforms

Fancy Vintage Lady Cream Clutch- 5$ at a stoop sale 

Nasty Gal cropped jacket (I forget how much this was, probably like 20?)

Basically the key here is color blocking: Pairing one funky print with two solid colors so that the outfit pops but overall still gives off a cohesive look. I'm really into Aritzia bodysuits because of the thicker fabric (you don't need a bra and they seem like they would last longer) but I don't think they're worth full price. 

If you invest in anything, invest in shoes that fit well and aren't made of plastic. This is the best advice I can give on how to freshen yourself up. Even if you're wearing an old thrifted baggy shirt and vintage denim, if your shoes are quality, you will feel like a million bucks.

When I got these pants I hesitated because even for thrift store prices they were a little steep. The deciding factor was the material (they're made of silk not polyester). Picking fabrics that feel good on your body is inherently just another part of tapping into your sensuality and a way to feel absolutely gorgeous. 

Anyways thanks for reading and let me know what you think in the comments! And a big thank you to my instagram husband aka my irl girlfriend for patiently taking pictures of me 😘

February ootd

 Hello everyone!

Its been a super busy month for me moving into a new place and settling in but I'm back! Living in New York is endlessly inspiring, the street style here is so fantastic and varies so much from neighborhood to neighborhood. I'm definitely looking forward to featuring locals on this blog to showcase LGBTQ expression through style.

For this outfit, I transitioned a summer skirt to a winter outfit. This was a fun way for me to figure out how to restyle a piece that I already had in my closet. To stay warm, I used thermal leggings and a thick turtleneck as a base layer and then layered the silky skirt with denim jacket. And no winter outfit is complete here without my doc Martens platforms. (Not pictured is the enormous puffy jacket I took off to take the pictures).

Even though there's a lot of textures going on, the whole outfit is in black, charcoal and cream so as to not come across as too busy. In NYC, it seems like people are one of two extremes- all black and sleek or wearing loud colors and bold statement pieces- both are gorgeous! 

Thanks for reading!

preppy goth


hello my loves

Hello babies! it's been a minute. I've had a really busy last few months working full time in retail as well as a few other side gigs in order to save up before moving to New York with my lovely girlfriend. Being in my small Washington town has been grounding but honestly quite hard to stay inspired as far as creating fashion content so I'm really looking forward to having a fresh start in NYC. I'm planning on making more videos and growing my baby YouTube (subscribe @tatatarryn!) to make a space for the girls and the gays to express themselves and feel confident in growing their personal style.

Speaking of things that have got me exited recently, I found this vintage wool skirt at lucky vintage in Seattle the same day that I got approved for my lease in Chelsea. I like to think of that as the universe saying "you got this bitch and you deserve the best". This button down maxi skirt is really great to layer with tights and easy to punk up with some heavy-duty platform boots for a femme-meets-rocker street style. 

thanks for reading and I hope you all have a cozy and healthy holiday season! xoxo

Yellow Farmer Goth

hello my loves!

this week I'm featuring my lovely friend Mads who agreed to let me photograph them and do a lil interview discussing what parts of queer fashion matter to them. Mads describes their style as yellow farmer goth, jacket slut, and Carhartt dyke. What's important to them is feeling sexy in their clothes as well as comfortable and warm. 

"I definitely try to express my identity through my clothes because I always want to be the most clockable dyke at the grocery store, ya know. Recently I've been wearing a lot of "men's" clothes that are pretty oversized on me and they make me feel very comfortable and confident"

"Honestly the main thing I reach for are my Carhartt men's double front work pants that I've worn for all my gardening and alpaca jobs so they're all stained and covered in paint but they fit me like a glove and they're very comfortable. I wear them with an oversized men's long sleeve shirt I thrifted and I feel at my most comfortable and good in my body"

One style secret from this queer's closet is always wearing wool socks if it's going to be cold as well as layering with tights under pants. Another thing they do to alter outfits is peg-rolling their men's straight leg pants to make them hug their ankles and give a more crisp silhouette. (You can check out their tiktok @monsteramonsterosa for a how-to guide!) 

Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a beautiful gay rest of the weekend!

fall essentials


hello babes

Everything in this outfit I bought on depop which I'm super stoked about! I'm making a video talking about all my tips for thrifting online because everyone should be able to try it (stay tuned). The perks? Besides being able to save on staple pieces, I like using these online platforms because you're usually helping support other young people who are reselling their stuff while giving that garment a second life. Also not to mention a lot of thrift stores are closed right now so its accessible no mater where you live! 

As far as styling goes, I like layering these small corsets over turtlenecks because it helps define my waist while keeping me warm during the colder months. It also just adds a nice extra touch to an outfit. 

thanks for reading and I hope you all have a lovely rest of your day :)

cozy november ootd


hey babes

this week I'm transitioning some of my summer clothes to work in colder weather (this is my 5th month living out of a suitcase! I'm so damn exited to officially move to NYC in January. But in the meantime I'm having fun reworking outfits)

One fool proof and easy way to stay warm in winter and transition ripped jeans into the colder months is to pop on some leggings underneath. I love these sheertex ones because they actually keep me really warm (they might be somewhat thermal?) and they literally DO NOT rip. I also cuffed the pant leg so where usually there's that scandalously exposed two inches of ankle skin, all the public can see are my sustainably made leggings. 

I've also been tucking my chunky knit sweater into my bra in order to give more of a silhouette to this otherwise slouchy outfit. If its super cold I skip this and layer a long sleeve turtleneck underneath. 

let me know what your ideas are on transitioning certain clothes from one season to another!
