INSTAGRAM HAM

"Just one little time a day", I said. Turns out that was WAY more than it seemed. What I also found out was I love instagram! I had the app downloaded on my phone for a solid year before I ever took it for a spin. I like that I can post my photos immediately versus me storing them up for way too long and never getting around to it like I am known to do. If you're not already on it, I am recommending you do so and if you are then come visit me or leave your username in the comments! USERNAME: okaybones







Ta daaaa. Everything here was thrifted except for the ring and shoes, which are from Forever21. 
The floral top is up for sale right now in my etsy shop for an easy $10 and I do combine shipping!

Again, I post daily on my instagram so if you care to look at my moments captured and so forth, please follow me @ ' okaybones '
 I love looking at pictures! (it's killing my blog haha)

Reentering the blogosphere

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiii! (that's to make up for all the ones I've missed in my absence.)
I have missed blogging plenty.. really. Between my bad health and my terrific happiness with my relationship I just haven't made the time. No more!! I am slowly getting back into the groove of things... If I can just work in a little bit each day I'll be pleased; I'm learning to multitask! Tyler recently got a new job therefore I'll be forced into having more free time and getting more done. I had the good fortune of selling most of my items in my etsy shop and I've added a few more here and there. I really enjoy having my little online boutique as I like to pretend it is, it makes the thrill of the hunt more exciting and justifiable to my bank account. Also, it's a fantastic place to shop in general.. it pains me to know there are so many preowned unloved items out and about in the world all alone, all the items made by someone's caring hands going unappreciated, starving and freezing in the rain! Wait, what? I'm rambling for sure. I haven't been doing absolutely nothing so needless to say, there's a fair amount of backlog show and tell material I've accumulated: Prepare for ensembles that make no sense, people! Sweaters and wool hats in the sticky 100+ degree humidity-riddled heat of a southern summer? Yep, so thanks in advance for letting me share. 
On to it, then!




All items thrifted except for the jeans, which I am not ashamed to admit came from Wal-Mart for about $20. I've said it and I'll keep saying it.. I am not big into brands, I just don't care. If it fits, it fits! If you feel good in it, it's perfect!

ANTI




Hello again. Everything I am wearing here was thrifted except for the Kenzie tights I found for cheap at an outlet store. I didn't really know I was going to a party when I got dressed but it ended up well enough, I suppose. That shirt is amazingly soft and glitzy, zero  scratchiness. Spring is excellent for shorts and tights with no risk of freezing, at least here. The weather is finally staying warm I think, even though I have a few posts with winter wear I will still go through with. I am almost at the end of the world is how I think of it.. I live in Alabama about an hour away from the ocean. 

Pretty much none of the people here seem to give a what about their appearance, or they just conform to that highstreet college party girl thing which just looks cheap to me. I can't say I have never seen anyone doing anything that made me turn my head and be all 'love', but it's rare. I guess it has something to do with being so far away from hipper, cooler cities; everything gets here later.. styles, music, even products ranging from cosmetics to food. It's pathetic. I love it here, the people are friendly, it has it's small town charm.. but I sometimes feel that the rest of the world thinks southerners are too retarded to know they're missing anything. Which, to be honest, a lot of them probably are. I'm not saying I live in the worst city in the world, there just isn't a lot of inspiration wandering about. Anyway, I hope everyone is grand.


I don't know if I ever even mentioned getting a new awesome camera for christmas, but I did. My dear sweet boyfriend, Tyler, bought me a few accessories for it and they got here yesterday. I'm excited not to have to rely on my self timer and shotty photos all the time. Well, I can at least say Tyler does well behind the camera, which I've always been so jealous to read about other girls and their boys involvement in this hobby. It's really sweet and nice to have support on something that probably seems so silly to him haha..

These are just a few random pictures of recent to change it up from my stupid face all of the time


Oh, yes! I almost forgot. I got both my philtrum and my nostril pierced :D
Truth be told, I got the nostril first on a whim because my piercer was out of jewelry for the other and I was already in the mindset to be stabbed in the face. When I got my philtrum, I was at the shop with the boyfriend while he was getting tattooed and the piercer, who was off that day, happened to drop by and pierced it for me. Finally! I don't know anyone with it around here so that makes me even happier with it. What do you think? I want to put a hoop in my nostril once it heals, instead of the rhinestone stud. 

TUMBLR:

I made a tumblr with my blog name which is what I linked over to the right but I am going to change that since I have not done a single post on it. My personal tumblr isn't very exciting at the moment either if I am being truthful. I'm going to start making more time for myself to get things I want to get done, done. DUNDUNDUN! No, I am kidding. Nothing dramatically bad is coming. :)






The artist of the track I have fiiiinally changed (sorry, guys) is Chelsea Wolfe.
She's got a cool spooky look and sound.. witchy.
What are you listening to right now?

MIXED EMOTION

       
 

(silk vest, skirt, & bag-thrifted// bow necklace-F21// shoes-Steve Madden)

Hello, you people, cuter than cherry pies! ^_^

You know.. I'm really happy.
Do you know what else is happy?
.....
Mixed prints, textures, etcetera!
Having new items for sale in my etsy shop makes me pretty cheery, too, especially when I get really positive feedback.. it makes my day. This skirt is in my current offerings.. I love it like I love all my pieces but trying to keep it all is proving impossible >.<
I get tired of hearing "my loss is your gain"
but fuuuu if it isn't true!
