Well,
Afterwards,
I told my sister I’d been to the festival, very excited because you know I’m
being all musically cool and the second thing she asked was, what did you wear?
(The first, how was it?)
I answered,
and she said, “noo noo, that’s not for a festival.” So, obviously I’m out of
the festival-attire loop here.
Two weeks
later, when I’m going to the second festival, she asks, “What are you going to
wear? Remember to look good.”
To be honest
I really don’t have this “festival attire-look” down yet. I think there are people that can totally pull off the look,
because it’s part of who they are. Others can make a rough attempt at looking
“festival cool.” However, this whole festival outfit aesthetic was very
interesting to observe - the second time around I paid careful attention and
this is my “what to wear to a music
festival and look cool” list:
1) Jean shorts (ripped if possible) –
if they’re high waisted and vintage even better.
2) Converse (yaaay for me! Got this one
right), no converse? Keds will do.
3) Roman sandals (though if it’s in
grass I don’t know how this could be a good idea – and lots
of feet – ouch what if you get stepped on? But just putting it here because I saw many girls with them.)
4) “Hipster” wide rimmed glasses – even
if you don’t need them. I actually saw a group of friends passing the glasses
around. Seriously? Seriously.
5) Very flowy & flowery dresses and
shirts.
6) Midriff 80´s style shirts, very wide & over-sized.
7) Bat-like shirts.
8) Open back shirts – definitely a
favorite.
9) Bra showing – good. Will be evident through those 80´s shirts that fall nonchalantly from one shoulder.
10) Long strap vintage bags that you can
conveniently put across your body.
11) Panama hats.
12) Skirts.
13) White always looks good.
14) Jewelry: long necklaces, bracelets.
15) Sunglasses.
So there you have a it, a mix of these pieces and you’re festival ready. I even made my first Polyvore to go with it : D. But actually, this is more like a "note to self” post so that the third time I go to a festival, it'll be the charm hehe.
Thanks for visiting!
