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! 

sweater: Topshop

fisherman hat: la Caravane Vintage

Jeans: Vintage Levis

leggings: Sheertex

casual masculine outfit tips

hey honeys

this one is for the tomboys, the theys or for anyone in general whos feeling like femininity isn't really working for them these days. I wanted to give some tips for how to style a casual masculine outfit for anyone who is looking for a place to start. 

disclaimer! there's no right or wrong way to dress, these are just some common things I noticed about the way I dress when I want to come across as less femme. 

TIPS:

1. wear a high cut collar. If the collar on your top is low, it draws attention more to your chest. Shoot for any necklines that hit around your clavicle.

2. find yourself the perfect tomboy jeans. I'd suggest you pick something that has a mid rise and a straight leg cut. The mid rise will draw the eye away from your waist, and the straight leg will help the pants to fit looser. The combined effect will eliinate the curve from your waist to your ankle by drawing a more up and down line instead of an 's' line. 

3. comfy sneakers! comfort starts in your feet. if you want to be able to walk around but don't want to sacrifice height, you can always go for a platform sneaker. (vans and converse both make great ones!)

hope this was helpful!! let me know what you think and if you have any pro tips of your own! xx

styling a mini skirt: going out

hey loves

Here's part two of my post on styling a leather mini skirt. I wanted to show an option for going out (or in my case taking pictures alone on top of a parking garage). Reminder to be safe this Halloween if you're planning on partying and to make a masc a part of your costume. 😉

I switched out my shirt for a black crop top and a cropped denim jacket in order to become the gay witch of my dreams. You can't see in the pics, but the shirt is long sleeved so despite being ultra short it still balances out the form of the outfit. 

I'm making a video with more details on how I styled these looks so stay posted! 

shoes: Unif

shirt: Urban

tights: sheertex

denim jacket: thrifted, you can find similar at Zara

hat: thrifted
