乱七八糟 is a vivid, colloquial idiom meaning 'in a complete mess' — it describes a state of total disorder, stronger than the simple adjective 乱 (luàn, 'messy'). It's more concrete and everyday than the formal 混乱 (hùnluàn, 'chaotic'), and unlike 一塌糊涂 (yì tā hú tú), which is used as a complement after 得, 乱七八糟 can directly modify nouns (with 的) or serve as a predicate.
