With festival season comes that all important question. What do I wear?! It can be a tricky one, the weather can change with the blink of an eye and you need to be prepared! I have a choice of three outfits for my first festival of the year and I cannot decide which one to wear! If only the festival was 3 days long!!
I hunted all over town for a pair of short black dungarees and the only store that seemed to have any was New Look. Nevertheless I am pleased with this pair and will match it with this gorgeous orange crop top from Topshop. I think this may be my favourite outfit of the three.
It's set to be a warm weekend so this outfit may be the perfect choice. I have matched this grey vest with a floral bralet, and black leather look hotpants, all from H&M. I promise this isn't a H&M advert.
Lastly an old favourite, Mr Jack, and as you can also see my bra with this vest, why not wear a pretty one like this bralet from H&M. The shorts are from Primark.
I can't decide which outfit to wear, I love them all. Help me!!
Then there's the shoes. Personally I always wear old shoes to a festival. If you wear nice, shiny brand new shoes you are only going to get grumpy or upset when someone stands on them/when someone spills a drink on them/when you stand on a squashed burger/when they get muddy. I love wellies if you are going to be outdoors all the time, it's muddy and there may be a chance you will lose your shoe. Slam Dunk has indoor arenas with just a few outdoors so I'm not expecting to get too muddy, so I am taking all these old Converse trainers and my old leopard print shoes from Schuh... I'll decide what pair to wear on the day!
I always used to struggle with how I was going to carry my stuff around the festival. If you're camping over the weekend it's not so much of a worry because you can always nip back to your tent during the day, depending on the festival. But with a day festival you may need to bring a number of items. Drawstring bags are handy because they are lightweight and you can usually fit the essentials in. I'm a big fan of the bumbag. My bumbag always comes out during festival season.
Lastly, there's the good old British weather. It could be sunny, rain, hale, gale force winds and a heatwave all in one day. This fold up parka from Primark is so handy, it's (mostly) waterpoof and folds up so small. Or you could opt for a plastic poncho, they always keep you dry, slightly warm and you can throw them away when you no longer need them. Sunglasses are a must. These sunglasses from ASOS are my festival favourites, you don't want to be squinting at the stage all day with the sun in your eyes. Lastly a hat! As important as your toothbrush! If you are standing out in the sun all day you don't want to get a headache, and if you're camping for a couple of days you may want the hat as an accessory to cover up the birds nest hairstyle you haven't washed in days!!
