It's late and I am delusional. That means this post will be short and simple. I got these boots at a thrift store but didn't care to wear them because they were boring. In my mind I was going to make my own boot harnesses to de-borify, but then I was hyped to see cheap bootstraps from ebay on Brit's blog. Obviously I went ahead and got my own. I had been looking in all the wrong places where motorcycle boot straps are $70+. DUH, CASEY. EBAY. So now I am a copycat and also have ebay strappies. 

It was almost too hot to wear this sheer top, but I powered through it. The past couple weeks it's been 80 degrees during the day and in the 70's at night and I couldn't be more stoked. Now if only I had desert. And beach. Then I'd be one exorbitantly happy freckleface.

THE STICK AND I MADE A VIDEO

Ignore my amazing, not embarrassing nails. I am a HEAVY nail biter and clients don't really appreciate it. Fake nails are my only cure. Just look at The Stick.

LIGHT LEAK FREAK

Now that I've discovered light leaks, I foresee it being very difficult to go back to normal-like photos.  SORRY.  I completely botched each photo with these colorful euphoric orb lights, placing them in areas where they clearly do not belong. But seriously, everything looks way cooler with a rainbow ghost light in the photo. I mean, REALLY. Hopefully some of you are on some serious psychedelic drugs when looking at my blog so maybe you can appreciate these prisms gone awry. 

I was told I should get a Formspring account. I just made one HERE.  I used to have an account long ago, but have forgotten my information and was turned off by people I know asking dumb questions like "if you had to drink anyone's pee, would it be mine?" Yeah, I gave up. So, if you have any Q's, holla holla. If not, totally rad too. I am not sure what I would want to ask me. Maybe what I ate today? I love talking about food that I ate.

In the mean time, a song for all ya'll.

CUT THE SLEEVES OFF

entire outfit thrifted and diy except for jewelry from ebay, my salvation, unearthen

I would say about half of my clothing is altered in one way or another. While thrifting in Orange County I found these snake print pants which I cut into shorts and this striped top that had a hole which inevitably resulted in me violently snagging the crap out of the rest of it. One of the thrift stores out here had a ton of denim jackets, so naturally I bought one FOR A DOLLAR and cut the sleeves off. The boots were found at the same thrift store that day. The good thing about the midwest is that hardly anyone shares my taste in clothing so I have a plethora of things to choose from when thrifting. Nothing is too picked over and everyone is just now getting rid of their 90s clothing and everything else rad. Hooray for me. 

Another hooray is this:

Since I am borderline obsessed with hot weather, this makes my heart flutter and my mouth salivate. BOOYA, WINTER. Good thing I cut up that denim jacket since I won't be needing jackets anymore!

Here are a few of my favorite denim vests that I have bookmarked and favorited over time. Click on the photo to be linked to the item.

I think I'll hustle all the rest of the jackets, cut off the sleeves, and sew/rip/bleach away. 

SHELLZ

New favorite necklace with my favorite bracelet. Almost a mermaid. And what is better than a mermaid?

PUT A KNOT IN IT

thrifted skirt, american deadstock fringe vest, jacket from stella tank from melrose trading post, random jewelry

It hasn't been difficult to keep up with only thrifting until Chrissa pointed out this crochet dress posted on Stella's facebook yesterday.

Maybe a reflection of a design Free People would put out for Spring? But unlike their insane pricing, this dress is only $45. Eeep. Casey like. Casey want. Casey won't buy because of stupid thrifting limitations. 

Suddenly I feel like a dog with a steak put in front of it. And I can't eat the steak.

I've found a few prime clothing gems while thrifting lately, though. This velvet skirt being one of them. I have made it infinitely better by simply tying a knot in it. Most everything that is "eh" can be made "ay!" with a knot. It's a little crazy how much better things can look entangled in themselves. For example this dress from Spanish Moss:

Am I right? Knots, man. Put a knot in it. Not to be confused with Put A Bird On It.

I'VE GOT A SNAKE IN MY BOOT

 thrifted flannel and diy shorts, etsy snake boots, jacket c/o sheinside.com, f21 top, my little fish eye studded friendship bracelet, euphoria necklace

I wish I could wear these boots for an entire day without my feet hurting. They are a little on the snug side, but they are such awesome kicks that I hardly care. Perfectly comfortable boots aren't that easy to come by and I have found that the more expensive the boot, the more comfortable they aren't necessarily. Some of my JC shoes are the least good-feeling of them all. They look rad, but holy chit. Ouch. SPRING IS ALMOST HERE!! I am looking forward to tanks and shorts ALL DAY EVERY DAY. 

THIS SONG PUMPS ME UP. Makes me want to wear every snake print item I own and go road tripping through the desert again.
