Morning Panic
Woke up realizing Coachella’s next weekend & I got zero outfits ready. Scrambled to my phone feeling like a chicken without feathers.
Instagram Deep Dive
First thing: smashed that Instagram search bar. Typed #CoachellaOOTD2025 – damn flood of crystal bras and neon cowboy boots. Screenshot like crazy until my thumb cramped.
Thrift Store Raid
Drove straight to Goodwill hunting festival vibes. Dug through dusty racks finding:
- Faded denim vest (perfect for patches)
- Rainbow fringe bucket hat ($4 steal!)
- Those weird transparent platform sneakers everyone’s wearing
DIY Disaster Zone
Tried gluing rhinestones onto old sunglasses. Epoxy got everywhere – sticky mess like snail trails. Gave up after third gem fell off. Lesson: buy pre-bedazzled.
TikTok Reality Check
Filmed “outfit options” videos pretending I’m some fashion guru. Comments roasted my cactus-print pants hard. Deleted immediately but stole these legit tips:
- Layering fishnets under ripped jeans = instant cool
- Hydration backpack doubles as accessory
Final Mashup
Ended up with:
- Crochet bikini top (freehand knitted during Zoom meetings)
- Tie-dye cargo pants from Depop
- That damn glitter beard I can’t wash off
Probably look like a confused unicorn but hey – festival ready!
Real People Thoughts
Wouldn’t recommend last-minute DIY. Almost glued my fingers together twice. Next year? Hiring a damn stylist.
