Funny Story...

SO. First of all, I am so very sorry about my "lack of blogging" lately. I feel as if almost every post recently has began with an apology, but my inability to frequently update Shine Through is a bit infuriating, even to me! Funny Story... So, I had the extreme pleasure of visiting the Coachella Music Festival this past weekend in Coachella Valley, California. I listened to more bands than I have ever heard and bumped into more strangers than I would like to have. I don't know if it was the hot weather or the sunlight in my eyes, but everyone seemed to look really beautiful and had very "cool" and innovative outfits on. Unfortunately, I left my camera at home knowing that I would buy a throwaway camera because it was easy to carry. To cut the story short, I bought an extremely cheap camera from a mall, took 25 photos of very stylish people, and that was the end of that story. When I tried to get the photos developed, I was told that there was only one photo captured on the camera. Here's the moral of the story: Don't buy cheap cameras! Because of this slight misfortune, I return from an eye opening and interesting adventure empty handed! To compensate these photos, I have gathered a few really great (In my own humble opinion) slideshows of outfits (from different blogs) from the concert. Hopefully these will give you an idea about what I saw and possibly spark your imagination for festivals in the future!
