{whatever wednesday}

Festival Fashion Must Haves.  I'm gearing up to go to my first MAJOR festival in a few weeks, The Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama.  Upon preparing for this trip, I've put deep consideration into what to pack for my go-to outfits.

A backpack was the first must-have.  Since you'll be on the go pretty much the entire day, it's easy and roomy enough to toss all your essentials in along with some potential purchases you'll make along the way.  No body wants to jam pack Tetris style constantly in a little fanny pack or lug around a shoulder purse.

A bandana is on trend and a key accessory.  Equally adorable around your neck or in your hair.

Sunglasses (duh).  I don't recommend taking your brand new Ray-bans, but an easily replaceable inexpensive pair.  Heart sunglasses are simply sweet for soaking up those festie sun-rays.

Sandals: consider comfort and walk ability.  You're going to be walking miles a day, make sure your feet can handle it.

A cute dress.  There will be a time throughout the festival that you will unfortunately most likely need to use a porta potty, it's the nature of the event.  Wearing a dress makes getting in and out of those disgusting hell holes a breeze.  Also, you don't want to wear something you're constantly tugging at to adjust, falling off your shoulder and so on.

Overall:  Keep to the essentials, easy, and no-fuss items.  Are you heading out to any festivals in the near future?  If so, which ones?  Here is where to find all the items listed above:

Festival Fashion

Coachella has come and gone but for me, festival style basically equates to summer wear.  It's almost a guarantee that there is a music festival or concert in the books for you within the upcoming months.

My day-long, concert going advice:
Avoid playsuits or overalls.  With all the liquids being pumped in to your body, chances are you're going to use the restroom relatively often.  Rompers especially make restroom using slightly and and awkward, since you basically have to strip down in a public place.  Opt for a shorts and tank combo or a comfortable dress.
Backpacks and crossbody bags are key, because no one wants to hold a purse on their shoulder all day.
Take just the necessities.  Girls can get a little carried away piling stuff in bags, but that shoulder will hurt by the end of the day if too much is weighing you down.
Easy layers.  Lightweight during the day, while the sun is beating down.  A jacket or button down for if it cools off at night.
Flats or wedges, but make sure they're comfortable.
Avoid bulky and heavy jewelry, you'll regret wearing anything that gets irritating as the day goes on.

Here are 4 looks to help inspire your festival and concert style all summer:

{whatever wednesday} festival fashion

With the first weekend of Coachella being just a few days away, I dedicated this week's {whatever wednesday} to boho-chic fashions to wear to the desert festival.  Flower crowns, shades, denim cut-offs, fringe, and lightweight, flowy fabrics guarantee you'll take Coachella on in style.
